    No, Rockhead. In fact, that makes me downright queasy just looking at it.

    Where do you find all this stuff [​IMG]?

    Well, I know that I don't need that. That purple ketchup looks horrible. I'll stick with good ol' red ketchup.

    a) the color is gross
    b) who puts their ketchup all over their frys like that? You put ketchup on the side... and dip into the damn stuff.

    That's sick.

    It also comes in a puke green color, no joke. Check your local grocery stores for other colors

    Actually, we cannot say that the purple ketchup sells because it isn't in stores yet.

    Actualy, it may not be in Pitsburg, but I'm pretty sure I've seen it at the Kroger's down the street from me.

    They didn't have it at my Kroger (they had the green, though).

    I was just going on what the article said, though. Perhaps the AP is incorrect. (And the Heinz site, too, since their press release announcing the product is dated July 31st and says the product will be on shelves in Sept.)

    Or perhaps your Kroger is part of the test market.

    C'mon guys, it's obvious that Heinz is performing a public service.

    Everyone knows how important it is to get children to eat their daily amount of ketchup. These new "funtastic" colors will make ketchup-deficiency a thing of the past.

    All hail Heinz.

    I agree! Ronald Reagan would be proud of Heinz's remarkable breakthrough in the world of ketchup. [​IMG]
