Speaking of ketchup (the world's greatest condiment). . . . .
1) The government passed (years ago) its LIMIT as to how many rats, bugs, and other miscellaneous beasties are allowed to be grinded up with the tomatoes, since hand-checking each tomato isn't exactly "cost-effective"
2) I spent my entire childhood loving the HEINZ ketchup at McDonald's better than the HEINZ sold at Burger King, Wendy's, or any other chain. At McDonald's, it just tasted a bit better. . . a bit sweeter. I later came to read an article that McDonald's was actually getting sued for "altering" the HEINZ recipe in their packaging plant by adding sucrose (sugar) to, in fact, make kids crave it even more than they already did. Well, it surely worked on me! I don't know if this is really true, since I only read the one article, and it was in the early nineties. . . .
