Competition benefits consumers.

But what about those who prefer the lower cost of traditional bottles?

And where's the other "competition" in the ketchup market?
Sounds like an oligopoly to me.

There is only one true Ketchup and it is made in Pittsburgh. Hunt's isn't ketchup so much as Tomato Swill.

You can probably find some Chinese produced ketchup in the aisles of Wal-Mart.

See, globalization begets competition!

My recollection of an old commercial causes me to wonder, if Hunt's prevails in this case, will a sober-faced jury foreman announce the verdict with the words "Heinz loses?"

This is news? I've been turning my Heinz bottle upside down for years.

I bought a bottle of that green catsup about 6 months ago, but never could bring myself to try it. I KNOW that the only difference is the color, but that's enough. I ended up donating it to the local food bank last week.
