Heinz! Hunts is like the original cheap knockoff brand. Heinz has been perfected by science.

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

Anybody "collect" ketchup? I have 4 or 5 different bottles.

 

[SilentRacoon]

Hunt's tastes like sugared vomit to me, so yeah.

 

[PeskyToaster]

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.

Is there other ketchup besides Heinz? Why would you consider them? Why even look at them?

Everyone knows you buy Heinz ketchup, Kleenex tissues, and name-brand toilet paper. It's just how the world works.

 

[Rabbi_Vole]

I didn't mention the true tragedy. $30 worth of hormone-free ground beef was also purchased with the intent of being molded into a delicious meatloaf. Our loaves requires a lot of ketchup, some mustard, oatmeal, eggs, onions and green pepper.

I was hoping the other ingredients would mask the Hunts, but no.

 

[newdayrocks]

Neither. This stuff:

 

[phanphare]

Spoiler

just kidding, ketchup is nasty

 

[MisterRoboto]

I only use ketchup if it's the only condiment available for a hotdog or burger. I prefer mustard on hotdogs and hot sauce on everything else. I don't think I've tried hunts though.

Edit: and Stubbs is some good BBQ sauce

 

[PeskyToaster]

Neither. This stuff:

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

 

[Enduin]

I was just thinking about this last night when I was eating a burger at home and the bottle of Heinz ran dry. I thought who buys anything other than Heinz? I even contemplated making a thread about it.

 

[ReAxion]

If I were in a restaurant and I saw a Hunt's bottle on the table, I'd be worried.

 

[Sanjuro]

Store brand. Whatever is cheapest.

[GrooveCommand]

People actually care about this stuff? Ketchup is a garbage condiment anyways, it's all just sugar and vinegar with some tomatoes.

 

[Homeboyd]

Ctrl f "Catsup"

Oh thank God.

Carry on. Also Heinz.

and it tastes so good

 

[Stat Flow]

Sir Kensington's > Heinz >>>>> Huntz

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

Daddys.. or Chips?

Chips. I've never really liked Daddies' Sauces. Too sweet or too vinegary for my taste. HP & Heinz for me or maybe a boutique tomato sauce if i fancy splashing out. HP is my mainstay though.
Also for those who aren't old and british - Daddy or Chips?

 

[Davey Cakes]

Simply Heinz is probably my favorite.

 

[Like the hat?]

Simply Heinz ketchup, French's mustard.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Couldn't tell you the difference, honestly. Ketchup is pretty interchangeable for me.

 

[Tarkus]

I prefer Heinz

 

[Chuckl3s]

Hunts is the RoseArt of the condiments. Heinz all the way.

 

[The Albatross]

Heinz.

 

[Entropia]

French's.

Heinz closed all their factories in my area so fuck them.

Yup.

I was expecting a Canadian to reply with that.

I have yet to try French's ketchup, mostly because I have yet to come across it. It's sold out pretty much everywhere.

 

[Celegus]

Heinz, the only good thing to come outta Pittsburgh.

Why you hate me ronabo???

Heinz is fine as long as it's the HFCS-free kind, but I usually just stick with trader joe's.

 

[Neol]

The tried and true Heinz.

 

[Viewt]

These days, I stick to 78 Red Ketchup. It packs a ton of flavor.

In terms of Heinz vs Hunts, though, Heinz 10 times out of 10. Hunts is gross and weirdly sweet. Not a fan.

Is this some kind of sex thing?

They're even sold out on Amazon.

I actually prefer it to Heinz.

I mean, anything is a sex thing if you try hard enough.

 

[vainglorious]

Heinz. Hellmans. Coke.

When I go to a restaurant and am told, "Is Pepsi ok?" and then I see a bottle of Hunts on the table I literally have to stop myself from

 

[Liquidsnake]

Huntz is terribad.

 

[TheWarrior]

Ketchup is mostly a worthless condiment. There is almost always an alternative superior condiment.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Heinz

 

[Jeronimo Jones]

Heinz is in our fridge right now, we pick it up without a second thought.

I assume people also debate whether it should be kept cold or at room temperature.

 

[blazenumb1]

Heinz, didn't even know there was another answer.

 

[Dead Prince]

not french. it's a little on the target side.

but i'd go with Hunt's

 

[LiK]

People debate settled arguments all the time (to-go tipping, global warming, defecating in the shower, clapping after movies).

Heinz should be kept cold in the fridge.

Q: Do I need to refrigerate Ketchup?

A: Because of its natural acidity, Heinz® Ketchup is shelf-stable. However, its stability after opening can be affected by storage conditions. We recommend that this product, like any processed food, be refrigerated after opening. Refrigeration will maintain the best product quality after opening.

Simply Heinz ketchup, French's mustard.

I love Simply Heinz although their organic ketchup is a close second. French's has an awesome honey mustard sauce.

 

[Belfour20]

French's.

Heinz closed all their factories in my area so fuck them.

I switched to French's a few weeks back as well as I was finally able to find it in stores after the whole craze online about Heinz closing the factories. I prefer the taste of it over Heinz's.

 

[23qwerty]

heinz for ketchup, french's for mustard

Good points. Though I don't think I've ever been to a condiment's website.

 

[shoreu]

Mustard.

Gtfo John

Its Heinz

 

[Tenrius]

The only true answer is Heinz soy sauce

 

[yanipheonu]

Heinz. I legitimately have no idea what Hunts is.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Mustard.

[Glass Shark]

I don't really care. Hunt's, Heinz, generic brand, whatever. It all tastes the same to me.
