Not gonna lie, "enforcing the line between ketchup and tomato sauce" isn't the sort of thing I'd expect the government to be into, but I guess I'm not mad about it?
I honestly feel like if this wasn't regulated ketchup would slowly be watered down until it was just weak tomato juice.
Doesn't stop you from adding modified corn starch to it until it's a weak tomato pudding/gravy. Wait, that's what they already do. High quality ketchup was originally a jam (reduction of tomato fruit).
The peanut butter wars are gonna rock your world then.
I mean at that point is not a ketchup, more like a sauce , or a soup?
Then again, anything can be soup at enough pressure and temperature
Somehow my brain is now thinking about the temperature and pressure it takes to turn primordial soup into primordial ketchup.
that's called tomato sauce.
on a side note... that whole (and very popular) 'anticipation' marketing campaign was a fucking scam? ketchup is legally required to be that way.
I’ve been trying to use google to understand this reference but it’s late for me, are you talking about the Heinz ad with the song “anticipation” from the 1970’s? Or is there a story i missed
There was a ketchup "anticipation" marketing campaign?
Suddenly a particular Foxtrot comic strip makes a lot more sense.
classic heinz ketchup commercials from the square screen (70s-80s) featuring carly simon's hit song.
Wordington ketchup
the word Wordington mentally flashbanged me I haven't seen it in a year
I've never seen or heard that word, but it makes me think of X-Men.
YOU MONSTER!
