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.
You’re very optimist if you expect ketchup to have any hint of tomatoes if regulations didn’t exist.
It would be tap water, sugar and red food colouring.
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).
BUT THAT’S ALL GOBERMENT DOES! HOLD US DOWN!
/S JUST JOSHIN’ BROTHER, THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE COMPRISED OF CITIZENS WORKING FOR THE BETTERMENT OF ALL CITIZENS. TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A BETTER WORLD FOR HOG CRANKING AROOOOO
A4RRRRRRRROOOOOOOOO!
The ketchup pack?
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.
Believe it or not, right to jail.
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
Corporations pretending it’s their choice when they have to follow rules? You see it all the time.
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.
Thank you for the information, but I wasn’t so much concerned about the details as enjoying the revelation that a comic strip from my childhood suddenly made sense.
Merry Christmas, in case that applies for you!
Definition. Catsup, ketchup, or catchup is the food prepared from one or any combination of two or more of the following optional tomato ingredients:
Call it Katchup, or Ketsup, or “ketchup-flavored condiment”, and you’re good to go.
partially gelatinated non-tomato vinegar-based toppings?
You can make it out of fruit other than tomatoes. A former coworker started a business and made blueberry, strawberry, and mango ketchup. The latter is a really great glaze for pork chops.
YOU MONSTER!
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.
Tomato juice scammer
Watered tomato paste
