Heinz Settles Age-Old Debate About Where Ketchup Should Be Stored

[String]

It should be stored on top of my bacon bap. For a little while anyway.

[c.d.]

The correct side being going in the same direction as everyone else I would say!

That reminds me of the old joke:

A woman calls her husband who is out driving on his cell phone.

Wife: "Are you okay? The radio is saying that there is some idiot out there driving the wrong way on the Interstate."

Husband: "One idiot? Hell, there must be hundreds of them."

Most sauce jars and bottles are on the normal supermarket shelves, FISHY, but that's because they haven't been opened yet. Many have storage instructions that say keep in fridge once opened and consume within so many days or weeks. But we can use our common sense to prevent food poisoning.

That said, the mayo goes in my fridge and the ketchup always in my cupboard. All beers as cold as possible.

Love,

Its on the supermarket shelf not the fridge when I buy it, so its in the cupboard for me .

[Ms Diddles]

Good for you. Keep up the good work and before long you'll figure out the correct side of the road to drive on.

I guess there's some truth in that in relation to ales and bitter, however we've become more refined with our lager drinking and now it's nicely chilled and sometimes even in a frosted glass.

It took us a while, but we're getting there!

The traditional assumption from across the pond is that Brits do not drink their beer warm but at room temperature which is an abomination here in the U.S.

Oh, I'm proud to be a barbarian, c.d.

It's fridge all the way, but ketchup just goes on the small shelves inside the door so as not to impede the booze storage in the rest of the fridge.

By the way, good to see you back Herlock Sholmes

Thanks Ms D

Well, naturally I drink my beer ice cold!

Surely the two things aren't mutually exclusive, or is that just the traditional American thing that we Brits drink warm beer?

[Ms Diddles]

So let me get this straight -- you put ketchup in the fridge but don't drink your beer ice cold? Barbarian indeed.

Agreed. I don't care what Heinz says, only barbarians keep it in the fridge.

[Al Bundy's Eyes]

I can't stand Ketchup as a rule, I'd keep it on the shelf.

[c.d.]

Mine stays in the cupboard although I don’t know why when we put mayo in the fridge. Both taking up beer-space btw.
