“NOT GREEN?” Perhaps a reference to that new-fangled green ketchup stuff?

I once scanned a bottle with the cryptic notation “NOT GREEN” (which, indeed, it wasn’t).

Ha…I like the way you think, Molly. I don’t have the definitive answer on this, but it probably wouldn’t hurt to keep a spare ketchup bottle in the globebox. Just in case.

Even the grille marks on the victim of your hit-and-run?

Maybe you could work that into some kind of entry for the “say something ketchuppy” contest.

Those squeeze bottles are bad news. They always get clogged with a dried-out ketchup wad, causing stuff to come squirting out in all directions.

Here is one of my annoying but useful “Sassy J” knows bits of trivia–although squeeze plastic ketchup bottles may make this obsolete. The tried and true way to get ketchup to come out of the ole fashioned glass bottle (still used in restaurants) is to give a good flat-handed thump on the clear glass “57″ embossed (or raised?) near the base of the neck.

Here is my entry -

“With Ketchup, kids will eat anything.

at least that is what my wife believes.

Good news, Mark. Heinz is running a Say Something Ketchuppy contest, so you can submit your label suggestion. Entries must be postmarked by 11/30/2004.

I couldn’t think of anything except the obvious “It’s a vegetable.”

Funny. I bought one of those bottles of ketchup Saturday and thought “I didn’t know grill marks were such a bad thing.”

I figured the label would’ve read better if it said “Nope. Not Blood.”
