Never Hunts.

Heinz is good for all occasions.

The worst is when a restaurant reloads their glass Heinz bottles with Hunts. Its jarring.

 

[sk3]

hunts = sugar
heinz = hfcs

so that's that.

 

[Krejlooc]

Heinz ketchup, Hunts spaghetti sauce

 

[Nekofrog]

Out of all the generics and storebrands of anything I've ever bought, Hunts has been the one that I looked at and said "what the hell happened, why does this taste so awful" and threw it away.

Storebrand/generics are fine, Hunts is just WTF tier.

 

[WedgeX]

hunts = sugar
heinz = hfcs

so that's that.

Except for Simply Heinz?

 

[Rest]

Mustard.

Now look at that first post, nailed it.

I don't eat ketchup. It only tastes good on hotdogs, and I don't eat hotdogs often enough to even keep it in my house.

I remember once I was making meat loaf, and for whatever reason somebody wanted it baked with ketchup on the top. I had a bottle of ketchup in my refrigerator, but when I pulled it out I noticed it had a weird consistency. I looked at the expiration date, it was about three years past. I don't know how long ketchup is supposed to last, I think it's over a year, but I do know that I'd only used that ketchup once, to put some on a hotdog.

I had only used about half a tablespoon of ketchup in four years. That was the day that I realized I should never waste money buying ketchup ever again.

I picked

Heinz

Here's my selection.

Not Ketchup's Blueberry White Pepper Not Ketchup
http://www.notketchup.com/product/blueberry-white-pepper-ketchup/

Blueberry White Pepper Not Ketchup mixes sweet-tart ripe blueberries with the subtle, dusky warmth of white pepper. This sauce works equally well with savory and sweet. We’ve paired it with chicken, lamb, French fries, cheese, and ice cream, and so far we haven’t found a bad combination. Use it as a marinade, grilling glaze, baking sauce, or dip.

Molonay Curry Ketchup
http://molonay.com/

These are 150-year-old bottles of ketchup! Made to an authentic 19th century family recipe from organic California tomatoes, NO corn syrup and half the sugar of common ketchup - this is how it used to taste before H----!

Volcanic Pepper's Red Reaper Ketchup
http://volcanicpeppers.com/

This concoction is similar to our Spicy Ketchup (made from scratch and zero corn syrup) except very hot. We use the same peppers in this ketchup as our Red Reaper Hot Sauce

Hatchup Katchup
http://www.hatchup.com/

Whats in it is probably the most important aspect of Hatchup Katchup! We start with all natural GMO-Free Tomato Puree from tomatoes vine-ripened in the California sun. We then add the star of Hatchup Katchup, the famous green chile grown in the Hatch Valley where the uniqueness of the climate allows for that special soil that can only produce such flavorful peppers! Along with HEAT, Hatchup Katchup has a ton of FLAVOR!

Ketchup wouldn't be Ketchup without that perfect tang! Early on we discovered that White Distilled Vinegar is made from corn which set off an immediate GMO Alert! Special care had to be taken to source Organic White Distilled Vinegar. Apple Cider Vinegar just HAD to be in Hatchup Katchup, but we took it a step further with Organic raw and unfiltered apple cider vinegar from California that just bursts with flavor! In our batch testing, we tried what we believe to be every type of salt on the planet and finally settled on the superb Sel Gris (Grey Salt) that is raked by hand in France.

Ketchup is sweet, and we have found a wonderful balance with the sweetness using Cane Sugar that is Organic and Unbleached.

just kidding, ketchup is nasty

You have a cushy spot waiting for you on my ignore list.

 

[TI82]

For curry ketchup there's only one option. Though I'm not sure if it's sold in the US very easily

 

[Skiptastic]

I legit lol'd because my reaction would have been the same, OP.

Heinz for life.

 

[Pein]

Hunts is crap, even the packaging looks crap. I cheap out though with their pasta sauce sometimes and thats crap too.

 

[Z_Y]

Sunday, after our weekly grocery run, I was unloading the haul and noticed Hunts had been purchased instead of Heinz ketchup. I was speechless. I thought it was understood in pretty much every household across the globe that Heinz is by far the superior condiment and Hunts is the equivalent of rotting whale bile.

I questioned the buyer and apparently it was purchased because "it was on sale."

I'm not normally quick to anger, but I could feel my temper building. I wasn't mad at her, but more the grocery store for even stocking such crap and having the gall to put it on sale to entice unwitting patrons.

if you are referring to your wife/gf then leave here. If you are talking about your mother then it might be time to put her in a home.

Heinz all day, every day.

Is this her?

 

[venomenon]

Mustard, mayonnaise or remoulade. Ketchup is disgusting and can always be replaced by one of the forementioned alternatives.

 

[Aeana]

When I was younger, I vastly preferred Hunts. Either it changed or I did, because a while back it started tasting weird to me, so I quit getting it.

Ketchup is fucking gross.

American? Try real ketchup some time!

 

[BadAss2961]

Hunts is awful.

I'm big on ketchup and can confirm this.

 

[Ray Wonder]

WHY It's not even that much more. 😡😩

 

[Subpar Scrub]

Used to buy Heinz, but masterfoods make some awesome sauces. Their sweet chilli, tomato sauce and barbecue sauce taste great. Not too overpowering.

I still buy their baked beans, though.

 

[Davey Cakes]

Yes! It is my go to now. Not a sweet as most ketchups either.

Really? I think Trader Joe's organic ketchup is exceptionally sweet, but less syrup-y and has a nicer flavor than standard Heinz. If we're talking Organic Heinz though (which is basically Simply Heinz with an organic label) it's kind of a tossup between that and TJ's. I can take either.

hunts = sugar
heinz = hfcs

so that's that.

Yeah, but even with sugar Hunts isn't that great.

I will say that I cannot stand HFCS ketchup anymore. Not trying to be anti-corn syrup but it legitimately tastes worse than when made with actual sugar.

 

[Fatalah]

McDonald's ketchup packets are the best yo. It's like a special version of Heinz.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Am I wrong for liking even off brand ketchups?! They all taste the same to me. How savage is this?

Heinz always. But, it wasn't until I got home the other day that I realized I bought Great Value ketchup D:

Spoiler

Guy is right. I can't tell the difference.

 

[Rabbi_Vole]

Heinz always. But, it wasn't until I got home the other day that I realized I bought Great Value ketchup D:

Great value and generic Publix ketchup is actually pretty close in both consistency and taste to Heinz. I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually Heinz under a different label.

 

[Wag]

I will say Hunt's natural ketchup is pretty good.

 

[Sobriquet]

If I bought or used ketchup I guess it would be Heinz. No idea what the difference is but that's what I grew up with.

 

[Ramsiege]

Heinz is the only answer

 

[Luigiv]

Masterfoods

Heinz is garbage and I don't know what a Hunts is.

 

[Chuckie]

Heinz is the people's ketchup. As if we can all find and buy hoighty-toighty Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiir Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeensingtons Gourmet Scoops.

Haha, that label does scream hoighty-toighty.

It is in an ironic/funny way though I suspect? (We don't have it here in the Netherlands)

 

[Soapbox Killer]

Just don't put it in the fridge, cold ketchup is an abomination and the reason for famine and Zelda delays.

 

[Clefargle]

I'm not 12, so no ketchup is needed.

Yup, ketchup is watery, fruity, pasty, filth that only plebs consume.

 

[hwalker84]

They'd assassinate your entire family of you bought Hunts here in Pittsburgh.

 

[Branduil]

I thought people only got Hunts ketchup by accident, like they saw the "H" and red bottle and thought they were buying Heinz.

Red Gold is the worst, though. I don't know who willingly eats that.
