Anybody else keep ketchup room temp?!

I am asking, because I recently noticed there is apparently a strong opinion when it comes to ketchup on hot dogs, whether you should have ketchup on at all. I didn't know. I just knew there are people who either like or dislike ketchup. Some people apparently use it on basically anything and everything. I have even seen ketchup flavored potato chips, ice cream and stuff.

I personally like ketchup. I usually just use it on hot dogs, hamburgers and to have somehting to dip french fries in. I can replace ketchup with any kind of dipping sauce (I love cheesy ones). I just find it boring to eat french fries as it is, or with only salt and pepper. Sometimes other dishes, such as meatballs with pasta.

So what do you think about ketchup?

Hello, recently I took about 15-20 ketchup packets from my school, placed a few around the gym, then I saw an open ceiling tile and threw some in the ceiling. But of course I also got an amazing idea, I opened a few more then threw them into the ceiling. I'm wondering how long it'll take for those to spoil?

I've hated ketchup as a kid, but I had it recently on a philly cheesesteak and it was really good. I don't know why, but I don't have the same reaction when eating a burger with ketchup.

“ketchup”

Like what’s the difference? I see fancy ketchup in some places but don’t understand why it says “fancy” Is it better? Or does it mean the same thing

I tried to look online for replacement lids/caps that have a proper nozzle that are available in the UK, but I can't find anything. The only "solution" I can find is to empty out the whole bottle and put it into another one with a proper stopper, but that would cause even more mess and would feel redundant. I wish there was some way to know the exact size cap Heinz plastic bottles use, since none of the caps I have fit.

BTW, anyone know why there's no Heinz subreddit?

I stumbled across this picture and thought this looked like my 6th grade science teacher.

I was in Switzerland for vacation in the summer when I stumbled upon this ketchup at a food hall and absolutely fell in love. Arguably the best tasting ketchup I ever had and I couldn’t find it in any of the supermarkets that I pass by in Switzerland! I tried to get it online but they don’t ship to the US and I can’t seem to find any mail forwarding services based in Switzerland. Any leads are appreciated and will be given many kisses from this ketchup loving girl 🙏🏼🫶🏼

I was wearing this white Ketchup t-shirt last Saturday during a 5k run in the Golden Gate Park. Julian might have been the first -definitely not the last- to come and ask me how much I like Ketchup. Later on while we were getting our morning coffee at Flywheel, someone came and asked me if I was also working at Heinz. That’s when I saw his sweatshirt -Ketchup related of course- and we all had a good laugh and started talking. First question from him being: 'where did you get this?' and since it’s coming from my favorite burger spot in France, it led us to talk about Lyon, the food scene, SF and so on.

I wrote about this tee/ story and what good merch should be on my blog if curious: https://k7v.in/lets-talk-about-merch-for-a-minute-or-2

Was just eatin some chicken bites and thought “I wonder if there’s a subreddit for ketchup lovers” as I recently joined hot dog and onion lovers. Happy to see this was just reopened for posting. To start, I recently got the Heinz simply, which has no high fructose corn syrup. My boyfriend and I just did a blind taste test and couldn’t tell a difference, we actually thought the simply was the regular. Happy that it tastes great😃

1. It’s for dipping. Please do not layer it on a pile of fries. Fries are crispy and salty, ketchup is sweet and tart. Balance things.
2. A good burger deserves the respect of a slightly more than thin layer of ketchup between the beef and the TOP bun. McDonald’s gets a pass.
3. Ketchup should not be refrigerated. This requires planning and careful storage techniques. Don’t buy vats. Small bottles unless you’re planning a cookout.
4. No ketchup on steak, unless with scrambled eggs or a homemade steak and cheese. Makers of steak and cheese made by a vendor/restaurant/joint deserve the respect of no ketchup.
5. Clean the bottle. Every time.

The hot dog debate is for another time.

Stumbled across this old video that was apparently for a Heinz contest for some scholarship.

This is the best ketchup I have ever had in my life, can I buy it from somewhere or is it made in house? I had it at a place called burger monger. Thank you I love you

Hi.

This subreddit used to be restricted and unmoderated, so no one could post. It also explains why there hasn’t been any activity in years. But I just took over, and want to revive it.

You are welcome to share pictures, news, opinions, questions or anything else related to ketchup.

Whenever I eat something with ketchup on it, the top of my head sweats. Seems to be uncooked ketchup (out of the bottle) only. For example, meatloaf typically has ketchup mixed in and this doesn't do it.

Mustard does it too.
