Vent: Burger Van Ketchup

paulofessex

Firstly there are more important issues in my everyday life, however this really really winds me up.

Burger Vans who put cheaper red sauce in the Heinz Ketchup bottle, most of the time you can't spot the difference until you take that first bite.

I feel cheated :mad:

... and came 12th out of 13 in a recent blind taste test conducted by Which? magazine.

Ah, the power of persistent advertising!

The bottles that contain ketchup, mustard and brown sauce at burger vans are usually so disgusting with greasy fingerprints and sauce running down the bottles that regardless of what's actually in the bottle that's enough to put me off using them.

To be honest, the burgers at most (not all) burger vans are so awful that I don't bother anyway.

I'd be really peaved because of all the ketchups I've tasted I only like Heinz. It's not the power of advertising as I can't stand their baked beans. It's probably all the salt and sugar they put it.

I certainly have to agree that Heinz ketchup is horrible.

It wants me to register/sign in!

I googled Heinz Ketchup and found a Daily Mail link (maybe they associate the taste with immigration or house prices)
