Heinz Tomato Ketchup... is it just me?

[Heofz]

I don't know about all of you lot, but the last few squeezy bottles of Heinz I bought I swear they have watered down.

I remember ketchup used to be of a moderately thick consistency and now its runny as hell. But only with Heinz, the other brands haven't changed.

Am I the only one who noticed? Or am I just the only person pedantic enough to make a thread about it?

Still, I don't like my ketchup to be messed with, what are Heinz playing at?

It's the vinegar (if you read the ingredients you would have seen this...), hence why most people shake the bottle before squeezing.

No it isn't. I ALWAYS shake the bottle before squeezing, always have done.

 

[Heofz]

yes the squeezy is thinner, the glass one is still thick.

Ah ha is this so? Guess it is time to try the glass from now on

HP , reggae, reggae. Ketchup is just sweet yuck.

reggae reggae sauce for the win, i just got some of this stuff from safeway, and i can easily say i wont be using ketchup as my main sauce anymore! awesome stuff

Indeed, I LOVE reggae reggae sauce, but it runs out too quickly, and it seems the more I buy at once (like 2-3 bottles), the more I use day to day. So it runs out fast regardless

Ketchup is for kids. Adults use brown sauce or gravy. FACT.

I do very much like brown sauce too, but I still like ketchup on my chips

Nah, it just seems thicker in a glass bottle than it does in a squeeze bottle becasue it's thixotropic. That means that, in essence, its viscosity varies as a function of time under stress. Look it up, it's interesting chemistry and materials science.

Then why is it that its viscosity has suddenly changed despite me always buying the same squirty bottles for as long as I can remember?

I'm convinced (but no on believes me) that the sqeezy bottle thins the ketchup. For example, when you push jelly through your teeth - it runs thinner.

Yes, and I also noticed they changed the end of the squeezy bottle making it too small, so now too much comes out at once.

Ahh.. perhaps I wasn't aware that they changed the end like that, perhaps that solves the mystery then lol.

I mainly noticed it being thinner when trying to put it on my hotdog and ended up flooding the thing with ketchup due to the sheer squirt velocity

I often eat the dry skin on my feet.

Tell me you are joking lol, otherwise... *vomits*

 

[Heofz]

Nope I would never lie. Infact! I have some hard skin appearing as I'm typing to you. I Think I'll save until later or else I won't eat my dinner.

Oh that's a keeper. Yesh.

 

[Heofz]

I love cheese, yet it is produced with the same bacteria as what is found on your feet. And I'm not grossed out (but when its put like that perhaps I should be)

oven chips because they are mega pants.

While we're on the topic, are there any oven chips out there that actually taste good? Mccains ones taste like utter crap imo

Aunt Bessie's

Will give them a try

Available at any regular supermarkets I presume?
