This article is fascinating. It is all about why there isn't a hugely popular gourmet ketchup.

i don't like ketchup too much either, mostly cause tomatos give me hives.

the thing about the sauces and why we have different varities was so interesting. wow.

I have to admit...

I liked the part about the sneaky marketers that made kid-friendly bottles so they could sell more ketchup.

well, i bet the parents were happy that they could just let thier kids dole out their own ketchup

That's a really long article, but very interesting. It is really interesting to think that ketchup can supply so many primal needs, but I still don't like consuming high fructose corn syrup so I steer clear.

i thought the best part was how they explained why generic cola doesn't taste as good. it makes sense now.
