Heinz ketchup, everything else is garbage in a bottle!

No. Heinz rides on a name, not on quality.

I can name three local brands that dwarf that bottled red sludge in quality, sell cheaper and larger volumes.

Only thing I will grant to Heinz: glass bottles.

There was a big scandal in canada a few years ago in cananda where heinz moved its ketchup manufacturing from Canada to the US. Many people switched to french's, a lot of people seemed to prefer french's. I'm not sure if it was the boycott but heinz eventually returned to Canada.

Heinz's British beans, the ones in North America are way worse.

Oh really? I'd no idea. Yeah, the proper British ones. Pip pip!
