This idea started here...

[aomagrat]

What ever happened to the mulit colored ketchup?

Well, I've been boycotting Heinz for years and didn't even realize it. I don't think I've bought any of those products ever on a regular basis.

I think this is a little silly. I don't like the idea of boycotting stuff just because it is made by Democrats or owned by Democrats.

Good lord, I don't recognize most of these products.... So other than the whole ketchup thing I am already boycotting.

Does anyone else feel like the Heinz son is kicking his dead father in the head by switching to become a liberal democrat?

[Just mythoughts]

THANK YOU!

[GottaLuvAkitas1]

The next time Kerry starts to talk about all the outsourcing, someone needs to ask him about the HEINZ company habits. I promise you it will shut him up for a while!!

[Las Vegas Dave]

Heinz son (?)

Are you saying Teresa Kerry had a sex change?

[Lady Jag]

Funny you should ask about the colored ketchup.

Rumor has it that Kerry invented green ketchup.

If this one couldn't get elected                       what makes you think this one can?

[Coastie]

Jack Daniels!?,

....hmmmm...moral crossroads...I'll get back to ya.

I received this reply from Las Vegas Dave on the other post:
"Perhaps email saying,

"Did you know that Mr. Kerry plans on tapping into her $700 million Heinz fortune to overthrow President George W. Bush's 2004 reelection?"

Please remember this the next time you are in the grocery store.

Doesn't sound as strong as "BOYCOT HEINZ", but gets the point across"

[Overtaxed]

DelMonte's better anyway.

It might be helpful first to determine how much, if any, interest Teresa has in the day-to-day function of the company. While she inherited a ton of money from the late H.J. Heinz III, we don't know whether her current holdings include common stock or any other financial interest in the company's success.

BOYCOT HEINZ!

No. I like their products.

You think it's a little silly? Teresa Heinz Kerry doesn't.

Teresa Heinz Kerry is warning that she'll use the vast Heinz ketchup fortune to repel personal attacks by the Bush campaign - insisting for the first time publicly that there are legal ways around the campaign finance laws that could allow her to spend far more than the $2,000 legal limit to get her husband elected.

Asked last week if she had decided to spend "any of your own fortune" on the presidential race, Heinz Kerry initially told National Public Radio's Renee Montagne, "I cannot, by law; $2,000 is it, and I've said that so many times."

But in the next breath the ketchup heiress warned, "Any time the honor of my family or myself is trashed, I will do what any American would try and do, which is to fight to redeem it."

"And there are legal ways of doing that," she insisted.

Heinz Kerry predicted that the Bush campaign would indeed go after her and her family personally, setting off the tripwire that would open up her $700 million pocketbook.

"I'm sure it will get very ugly and personal," she warned. "But I think . . . ugliness speaks for itself, and expensive ugliness speaks for itself even more."

Asked if she was expecting "any particular accusations, any particular vulnerabilities on your part?" Heinz Kerry told NPR, "No."

"[There are] no vulnerabilities on my part. My life's an open book. I'm honest, I work hard, I care about people, and I have hopes for the world and for us, and I think we're not being well-served and well-led."

I think the Heinz son looks like he has a lot of Kennedy blood.

[Lion in Winter]

We already boycott their products. I don't miss any of them.

Frozen potatos of the store brand are just fine in fact. Forget the Ore-Ida!! And, ketchup for the fries... well... Del Monte is great!

[Semper Paratus]

Heinz will come out with a new line of products under the "Benedict Arnold" label.
