Heinz ketchup’s???

What about catsup. Which brand do you prefe

Hmmmm I am not sure if you are being facetious here (if not, my apologies). I am not sure anyone in Pittsburgh calls it catsup. “According to a Heinz spokesperson, Henry John Heinz first brought his product to market as “Heinz Tomato Catsup,” but changed the spelling early on to distinguish it from competitors. Del Monte did not switch spellings until 1988, after it became clear that ketchup was the spelling of choice for American consumers”. ……..Heinz is a big deal here. I came to get an answer to a question that is important to my husband. It’s no different than a Coke vs Pepsi person or Miracle Whip vs Mayo. Thank you to all who kindly took the time to respond in the sense these boards are intended. Trip planning. Have a magical day!

How many things do you eat with ketchup to make it worth bringing your own from home?

I wouldn't bring any on the trip, but when DH eats fries at home, he has a lake of ketchup on his plate. At disney, at one of those CS with the little paper cups.....at least 6 cups are needed.

He also adds hot sauce at home.

I'm not from Pitt. But I do vastly prefer Heinz ketchup. I really dislike Hunts - enough that I won't use ketchup if that's what they have. Some of the other smaller brands have been OK - maybe not as good as Heinz, but good enough. I admit the Red Gold is in that category for me - it's not as good as Heinz, but better than Hunts for me - so I'll still use them and they're passable. But I'd love to see Heinz return.

I definitely put ketchup on my hot dogs, and NOT mustard. Hate mustard! For me, ketchup goes on hot dogs, burgers, fries, hash browns, tater tots, onion rings, and cube steak sandwiches. Nothing else. For onion rings, I like a little mayo/ketchup mix, or a chipotle mayo or ranch dip.

I believe I put an apostrophe because I was meaning packs of ketchup in the park meaning more than one pack lol

I'm not trying to pile on you although it may seem like it. But this explanation makes no sense. An apostrophe signals possession. It doesn't make things plural. I see this all the time in posts and I don't understand where this misconception started. And trust me, I have typos all the time so it's not the end of the world or anything and it happens to all of us. But I am literally baffled why people think an apostrophe makes something multiple.

Heinz for the win on Ketchup. Their honey mustard at Disney is terrible

Yes I was being facetious as I know about the disagreement about what it is actually called. A better analogy would be the difference between Hellman's/Best Food's vs Duke's mayo. Miracle Whip is more of a dressing than a mayo to me.

I am from Ohio, and although I don’t eat ketchup often, when I do it must be Heinz. . . I would go without before eating Hunts or other brands.

You could bring your own. My dad carries Tabasco with him on vacation and my son takes Tapatio. If it would keep, I would take homemade ranch dressing, because I cannot stand anybody else's ranch.

I’m from upstate NY and my mom was always a very careful shopper, she grew up in NYC. When I went to college, she took me grocery shopping and we bought lots of store brand items. We also bought ketchup and she told me to only buy Heinz, the store brands and other brands were not worth it. I’ve always followed her advice! Now, my DH is from Buffalo and we only buy Weber’s mustard.

Well I would assume I am just poorly educated and illiterate then.
