Heinz Has Upgraded Their Ketchup Packet
In this down economy while others are scaling back on research and development, Heinz has announced a huge upgrade to their lowly ketchup packet.
Heinz sells over 11 million of cases of ketchup packets a year and there are 1500 packets in a case. That’s a lot of single serving ketchup!
The new packets seem to be more like those little single serving jelly packets, but there is more ketchup in the new packets for dipping your fries, eggs or meatloaf in!
The new packets hold three times as much ketchup as the old ones – good news for pranksters that like to use them for special effects.
Ketchup (also spelled catsup) started out as a general term for sauce, typically made of mushrooms or fish brine with herbs and spices. Some popular early main ingredients included blueberry, anchovy, oyster, lobster, walnut, kidney bean, cucumber, cranberry, lemon, celery and grape.
The first recipe for ketchup surfaced in 1801. F. & J. Heinz launched their tomato ketchup in 1876. Heinz tomato ketchup was advertised: “Blessed relief for Mother and the other women in the household!”
Heinz seems to have led the way in the evolution of ketchup and they are still at it.
