Is There a Better Ketchup Than Heinz? (1 Viewer)

[Instinctive]

"Ketchup" is actually closer to the original Chinese condiment called "ke-tsiap", so that is correct. Whoever coined the term catsup probably also calls soda "coke".

Hey now. Coke is the right term. Idk what catsup is but it evokes a cat eating, which is not the delicious red sugary tomato sauce i put on many foods.

What do you say when you want a seven-up?

1. I would never want a seven up
2. But I would say “Do you have seven up?” Or “I’d like a seven up.”

great, so we agree. a seven-up is a soda, not a coke. Because a coke is a coke and cant also be a seven-up.

Sir Kensington's is the best ever made. It's got a bit of allspice flavor to it that works really well. They built the entire company around the catsup and then sold it to Lever. Lever has now decided to discontinue the catsup in favor of higher margin mayo based sauces. I've horded as much of it as I can.

I came to post this same thought. Very disappointed that I can no longer get it!

The Whataburger spicy is quite good.

This is the best ketchup. I came in ready to be like "the best one isn't even in the poll" but it was rightly an option.

That is a solid substitute for Heinz. It's just a shame that their burgers are trash

 

[nirad3]

I definitely prefer Heinz but will make do if it's some other brand. I don't use a ton of it on my fries, burger, etc., anyways...

So mediocre now. Pre-2019 or so they were amazing. Private equity ruins yet another good thing.

I always thought their burgers were mediocre at best and I grew up in Texas. If I'm forced to eat there, it's breakfast taquitos or their chicken strip meal (always taking extra spicy ketchup for later).

I love 'em... not to derail, but I've been in TX on a work trip for 2 days and have had Whataburger for lunch both days. :fat:

There are places that uses the term "coke" to include all sodas.

But then you said you wouldn't do that if you ordered something like a 7-up. So everyone agrees. Coke isn't a term to be used for all sodas.

If I started referring to all cars as "Toyotas", any conversation I had with anyone about cars would get confusing real quick.

Burgers, hot dogs, fries and really any fried potato type dish (tots, hash browns, etc). Ketchup is a must with your basic backyard BBQ.

Hotdogs get onions, sauerkraut, and spicy mustard or chili and onions.

hashbrowns/tator tots do not get eaten

You havent had the right Tator Tots, sir.

I too, did not appreciate tater tots until I moved to Oregon. They were apparently invented here, and are a whole different experience than I've had previously in my life.

"Yep here ya go!"


"Hey can you pick up some coke at the store for the Super Bowl party?"
"yeah, whaddya want?"
"maybe that costco thing with the mexican coke and the sprite and the orange soda bottles?"


"What would you like to drink, sir?"
'What kind of coke do you have?"
"Seven up, pepsi, starry, root beer, cream soda, diet pepsi"

Yeah but it's delicious. I kinda want to learn to make my own. My homemade BBQ sauces are great, maybe this would be too. I'm with the majority that ketchup goes on basically every form of potato except baked and mashed. It goes on any kind of cooked meat served hot on a bun too.

That's different. There's really only one kind of Kleenex.

But with soda, there have to be times where you say coke and someone brings you an actual coke instead of something else you wanted.

Yeah it's crazy. I've lived in a lot of different places for over a year at a time, and often more. I find it cool. It's one of those things that's like - we're a gigantic country.

You car analogy isn't applicable at all because no car ever took such a giant, dominant marketshare in the modern era that it became the generic term. It's a bad analogy.

If you wanted to make your point better, you'd use something like Advil. I'm not sure what people ask for more, because they're literally the same composition, but Advil vs ibuprofen is a closer analogy.

Tissue vs Kleenex is a pretty darn good one, but I admit some shortcomings in that they lack flavor and are only parallel on the branding differences. And it's telling that you tried to blow it off. There's Kleenex, Puffs, Scotties, Nice n Soft...many more I'm sure, AND every store's generic brand. Just like there are many store brands of coke.

 

[Gally]

You car analogy isn't applicable at all because no car ever took such a giant, dominant marketshare in the modern era that it became the generic term. It's a bad analogy.

I think the primary area where "coke" is used as a synonym for all sodas is down south near where the Coke brand started and has a huge hold on the market share (similar to what you are talking about in this quote). I could be mistaken, but I believe that is the only area where the "coke" situation exists in mass.

"maybe that costco thing with the mexican coke and the sprite and the orange soda bottles?"


"What would you like to drink, sir?"
'What kind of coke do you have?"
"Seven up, pepsi, starry, root beer, cream soda, diet pepsi"
"Seven up please"

No chance any of these conversations have ever happened

I don't mind ranch on french fries, but how can you live in the United States and be unaware of the fact that ketchup is a commonly-used condiment for those?

Fries and maybe hash browns are about the only thing I use ketchup on, and the only condiment my local fast food places include with my fries.

You car analogy isn't applicable at all because no car ever took such a giant, dominant marketshare in the modern era that it became the generic term. It's a bad analogy.

I think the primary area were "coke" is used as a synonym for all sodas is down south near where the Coke brand started and has a huge hold on the market share (similar to what you are talking about in this quote). I could be mistaken, but I believe that is the only area where the "coke" situation exists in mass.

Yeah, I grew up in southern Indiana, and we always used "coke" as a generic term that included all soft drinks. I think that's about as far north as that particular nomenclature extends. I shed this habit when I went to college a few hours north and haven't heard it since.

"Ketchup" is actually closer to the original Chinese condiment called "ke-tsiap", so that is correct. Whoever coined the term catsup probably also calls soda "coke".

Hey now. Coke is the right term. Idk what catsup is but it evokes a cat eating, which is not the delicious red sugary tomato sauce i put on many foods.

What do you say when you want a seven-up?

1. I would never want a seven up
2. But I would say “Do you have seven up?” Or “I’d like a seven up.”

great, so we agree. a seven-up is a soda, not a coke. Because a coke is a coke and cant also be a seven-up.

lol. i don't think that's what I said at all, but have fun.

There are places that uses the term "coke" to include all sodas. That was the comment that @Scoresman made and you said that "coke" was the right term.........I took that to mean that you use "coke" for all sodas. But then you said you wouldn't do that if you ordered something like a 7-up. So everyone agrees. Coke isn't a term to be used for all sodas.

Ah - that's a case of hearing what you want to hear.

All of them are coke.

"Hey can I get a coke?"
"Sure, what kind?"
"Um, have any root beer?"
"Yep here ya go!"


"Hey can you pick up some coke at the store for the Super Bowl party?"
"yeah, whaddya want?"
"maybe that costco thing with the mexican coke and the sprite and the orange soda bottles?"


"What would you like to drink, sir?"
'What kind of coke do you have?"
"Seven up, pepsi, starry, root beer, cream soda, diet pepsi"
"Seven up please"

Because they would have offered RC as an option.

Even though my area calls it pop or soda, I can indeed verify there are places this is true.

Yeah @Gally is the most understanding of this - some of y'all are either trying to be funny and I'm not picking up on it, or you've not lived/traveled much.

Another good one of this is the freeway, highway, expressway, interstate, etc...which theoretically have definitions but are definitely used exclusively for all roughly the same type of road, but varied by geography and not by the actual road type.

My wife is from Pittsburgh...Bringing home another brand is pretty much grounds for divorce.

I'm from the South, what region likes Hunts?

I will eat ketchup on a burger from a fast food chain, but that is it. I don't think i have eaten ketchup anywhere else in the last 20 years.

What do you all use ketchup on?

Burgers, hot dogs, fries and really any fried potato type dish (tots, hash browns, etc). Ketchup is a must with your basic backyard BBQ.

Hotdogs get onions, sauerkraut, and spicy mustard or chili and onions.
Fries get ranch or bbq sauce or sometimes bbq mixed with ranch
hashbrowns/tator tots do not get eaten

Haha, I get it, you don't like ketchup but it's a pretty popular condiment here in the US.

I don't mind ketchup, it is a good base, just like mayonnaise but both are at their best when mixed with many other flavors, ie bbq sauce and ranch or on a sandwhich like the whopper which also fatty, salty, and has two strong tasting veggies in pickles and onions.

 

[dickey moe]

catsup.

Say what

 

[-fish-]

Local Grocery store down here (Publix) has their Organic Ketchup and it is better than anything else out there.

Same. The organic ketchup at Safeway/Albertson's is at least equal to Heinz and cheaper. Hunt's is disgusting.

 

[Scoresman]

This is how the conversation would go in probably every other part of the world.

What would you like to drink, sir?"
'What kind of coke do you have?"
"Diet, Cherry, and Coke Zero"
"Oh I'm sorry, I now realize my soda terminology is really confusing. I'll just have a Seven up please"

popular doesn't make something good bromigo (ie: taylor swift)

No one said it did little buddy....just stating the facts
