The Side Effects of Endorphins

We all consume ketchup of varying rates with some households going through a jar a month. There are times in our refrigerator when a ketchup bottle goes bad.

I will talk about that later.

• If you’re out of metal polish, grab the ketchup. Thanks to its acidity, it can shine up copper and brass like a pro. Just be sure to rinse it off before your sandwich starts tasting like pennies.
• Americans chow down on about 300 million pounds of ketchup each year. That’s roughly 13 billion servings—enough to drown every French fry in the country. Let’s face it, ketchup might as well be a food group.
• Henry J. Heinz saw an advertisement for 21 styles of shoes while riding a New York City train in 1896 and was inspired to create similar branding for his own company. Even though Heinz’s company manufactured more than 60 products, the condiment entrepreneur went with “57 Varieties,” an amalgam of his own lucky number, 5, and his wife’s, 7.

Ketchup Goes Bad

We buy ketchup infrequently and sometimes it gets lost in the refrigerator. When I need it, it usually dancing around with the mustard or the Vietnamese cock sauce. We just secured a large bottle and I figure it will last around three years. So our household ketchup expense is about a dime a month.

Pad Thai – The Macaroni and cheese of the Thailand – Many recipes for for Vegan Pad Thai call for ketchup. I usually use it as well.

Second Helping of Mac and Cheese – always include Ketchup

Curry Ketchup -highly recommended.

Please follow me for lifetime decisions that don’t mean a damn thing. As an aside I am a pretty decent cook.
