Americans who don’t buy Heinz ketchup – why?

31 comments

1. They all taste the same

   Refuses to elaborate

   Leaves

2. Because I rarely eat ketchup. If I do, I’ll make it myself.

   If I absolutely had to purchase ketchup, I’d buy something with better ingredients.

3. I prefer Hunt’s

4. When I don’t buy Heinz, it’s for cost reasons. And if it’s going into something like a meatloaf rather than for condiment purposes, it doesn’t need to be the highest quality.

5. Honestly, I don’t taste enough of a difference between the generic store brand that is cheaper and Heinz where it matters to me.

6. I am honor bound because of my sister to let you all know you should be buying Kraft Heinz products only.

7. O-organics doesn’t use hfcs

8. I don’t eat ketchup.

9. I just buy the cheapest stuff. Usually the store brand.

10. Ketchup is disgusting and you cannot silence me.

11. I don’t like ketchup at all, so I don’t buy any brand

12. Because Whataburger Spicy Ketchup slaps

13. I don’t buy ketchup.

14. Is this some kind of viral marketing research for Heinz? Is Heinz paying you for this?

15. Ketchup is for children and adults that don’t appreciate the inherent flavors of the food they’re eating. I’ll provide it for guests but if you put it on a steak I’ll ask you to leave.

16. I don’t buy any ketchup.

17. Whataburger ketchup clears

18. Because I’m an adult and I dont use ketchup anymore.

19. I’m really into curry ketchup right now

20. Because ketchup tastes like ketchup and Kroger brand is cheaper.

21. I [prefer](https://thetakeout.com/heinz-is-not-the-best-ketchup-brand-in-us-vs-hunts-1849824779) Hunts.

    If I have a lot of time, I like to roast tomato’s and make my own with balsamic vinegar. Great on burgers with sautéed onions, aged cheddar, smoked bacon, toasted and buttered brioche buns. Brings it all together. I’ll do that for 4th of July cookout.

22. Companies have been forced to raise their prices, so it’s unaffordable. All because of Joe Biden’s socialist policies of…

    hold on I have it here somewhere…

    maybe under this stack of papers…

    oh, here it is. It’s just greed. Says here they just wanted more money.

    Aldi ketchup FTW

23. It’s too sweet.

24. There are other brands of ketchup?

25. I only buy catsup.

26. I only buy Hunts because John Kerry is so distasteful to me. Denying him the 1/12 of a cent he’d get from my purchase is sufficient reason in my book.

27. As a resident of Western Pennsylvania, I am contractually obligated to state that Heinz is the only viable ketchup.

28. Because when I use ketchup, which is rare, I use Huntz.

29. Honey mustard can be used for all the same stuff, and means I don’t have to buy mayonnaise when I make deviled eggs.

30. Because they stopped making purple and green ketchup

31. Hellmann’s used to make their own ketchup a few years ago, it was sweetened with honey. Heinz made their own mayonaise so you could have had Heinz mayo and Hellmann’s ketchup in your fridge.
