Heinz addresses the debate over the location of its ketchup warehouse…
Heinz has finally put an end to years of controversy surrounding the ideal storage location for ketchup.
Because Heinz clarified the question of where to store ketchup.
The conversation left my roommates screaming, my mother covertly moving the bottle when she thought I wasn’t looking, and me testing several places each week to see where the ketchup was best.
Houses will be divided no more because Heinz has officially said where you should put your tomato sauce.
If you keep ketchup in the fridge along with other condiments like mayonnaise, it will add a tangy tomato flavor to your deep fryer chips.
When you squish the bun on top, the heat from the steam coming off the burger mixes with the delicious, tangy sauce at room temperature if you refrigerate it first.
A Heinz Twitter poll of 2,342 users found that 53.6 percent believe ketchup should be kept in the fridge and 46.4 percent believe red sauce should be kept in the cupboard.
But you should keep the ketchup somewhere. For years, this issue has almost always resulted in food wars, and Heinz is the only one who can speak with any authority.
American food company Heinz has expressed his views on Twitter, and as the lord of ketchup, what he says ultimately rings true.
I have a few bottles of ketchup that have been sitting around for months, if not years, even though the instructions on the bottles say to freeze the ketchup after opening and use it within eight weeks.
Twitter’s response to Heinz’s statement burst like a ketchup bottle after the rework.
Ketchup fans from all over the world flocked to the site to post their opinions. Some are outraged by Heinz’s actions and strongly defend their right to consume watery tomato sauce.
No, it isn’t, the user replied. I’ll take care of production while you focus on consumption.
Heinz said, “Put it in the fridge or I’ll lose my mind.”
Another user wrote: “It has never, ever made it into my fridge or anyone else’s fridge.”
“They pay and they do,” Heinz said. Close the refrigerator cabinet. The last tweet question: “So why is it on the shelves of supermarkets and shops?
The Heinz verdict set off a lively and spirited exchange, showing people’s deep affection for preferred ketchup storage practices. The company’s statement prompted individuals to reevaluate their long-standing habits and consider the wisdom imparted by ketchup experts.
When households adjust their ketchup storage practices based on Heinz’s guidelines, harmony is restored and future debates about this condiment conundrum can be avoided. Whether refrigerated or stored at room temperature, one thing is certain: Heinz remains the authority on all things ketchup.
Ketchup has vinegar in it. Vinegar is acetic acid, which is a preservative. Therefore, ketchup does not need to be refrigerated. If you see ketchup in restaurants or on lunch counters it is not refrigerated and it is fine.
I don’t buy ketchup.
