Where do I get some? Do they ship elsewhere than just the USA?

They better. I've already told my mother we shouldn't have Heinz ketchup in the house... I even explained why... she looked at me blankly.

Then again, this is the woman who has only just "got it" about which side is which in American politics. Again, thanks to my efforts.

Does anyone know the origin of the word, Ketchup?

Dopey Survey I have been doing....

MacDonalds, Burger King, Jack in the Box all serve those little packets of ketchup: HEINZ KETCHUP.

Talk about a monopoly. I do without - tell them to keep their ketchup - I don't like their ketchup - and I'll go home and eat if I have to.

Looking at their checkout page, it appears that they ship to foreign countries. They have a drop-down box for country selection when placing an order.

Every metrosexual shot of Kerry/Edwards should be accompanied by Carly Simon's "Anticipation," the old theme song for Heinz Ketchup.

I sure hope "W" ketchup isn't actually made by Heinz.

Here's one version, I'm sure there are others:

The word ketchup is from the Amoy dialect of south-eastern China, ketchup (or koechiap) being a pickled fish brine.

British seamen brought the ketchup home in the 17th century and began introducing it to other nations.

An array of ingredients were used, such as mushrooms, walnuts, cucumbers, and oysters It was not until American seamen added tomatoes from Mexico or the Spanish West Indies that tomato ketchup was born.

Heinz began producing ketchup with tomato in it in 1876 when its popularity as a table condiment began to grow.

Nowadays vinegar gives ketchup its tang, while sugar, salt and spices contribute to the blend.

The Hienz company hires Republicans too. They are not owned 100% by the Kerry's, or the democrats.

As much as I can't stand the Kerry's, I don't hold the Heinz company to blame for their politics.

The company has made statements trying to distance themselves from those dolts, and I think it's unfair to boycott, or attack the company for what their founders EX, and her new gigalo are trying to do to our country.

I happen to like Heinz ketchup, and don't plan to change just because of my political views.

Grocery shopping in the Caribbean while on vacation, we found various local brands labeled: Salsa American.

Didn't Heinz release a statement a while back when this silliness started that they had nothing to do with Theraaaaazuh and she had nothing to do with them now other than having a bunch of her dead hubby's money.

Is there some new info now?

"YOU don't support Democrasts, why should your Ketchup?"

YOU don't support Teresa, and her anti-American causes, why should your Ketchup?

It was stated that she gets less that 4% of any Heinz profits, I think. When she gets 0%, they can give me a call.
