just a stupid gag to stand out from the others. although, does heinz actually have any serious competition for ketchup? how many other companies make it at all, let alone in large enough quantities to even make a dent in their profits. i had the green ketchup. i felt REALLY weird eating it even though i knew it was just food coloring i still had a whole "physical challenge" "double dare" kinda thing going on. on the topic of food, how come i always feel the need to drink water after eating ice cream? why is this?

I've never had the green ketchup, but I did have the purple ketchup at a barbeque last summer. I don't THINK it tasted any different, but the color really threw me off and I just thought it tasted "sort of purple". Could've been all the alcohol though. :grin2:

There's articles/pics in magazines about how to make your child's lunch more fun. You can cut your bread into circles and make little monkey faces with raisins for eyes and carrot strips for a mouth. Why can't they just eat their fucking sandwich cut in squares or triangles like everyone else?
I can't imagine anyone having that much free time!

Yeah, Hershey and Heinz are as interested in healthy diets for kids as Philip Morris is in smoking-related cancer.
It's just marketing. They're exploiting the fact that kids love bright colors, and that kids will think that something that tastes the same as the regular stuff but is a different color, is cool.
:grin2:
Anything to further persuade kids that antifreeze is a cool drink because it is chartuese.

You got me wrong, I don't want kids to drink Prestone, it just was a whole lot easier keeping them away from it in the past.
Bit of advice my father gave me: If it glows, don't drink it. Looks like science has reversed my vast family knowledge.
I guess what is next is a drink that is the consistancy of motor oil.

Quote:Originally posted by sweet angelSee, those articles are a crock. Purple and green ketchup have nothing to do with it being cool when a kid eats it. It's about it being cool enough for the kid to pester their parent to BUY it. Once you've bought it, they don't care how cool it is when you eat it.
But why does food (nourishment) have to be cool? There's articles/pics in magazines about how to make your child's lunch more fun.

Never mind the food...what about the colored suntan lotion I saw a commercial for not too long ago!
"Sure, Junior. Now that your skin is green, go play with the other kids. Try not to bleed all over everything when you get back from having your ass kicked though, okay?"
It dosn't take a Chef to tell you that presentation of food is almost if not more, important that taste. Which is why we all gag at the thought of blue Hamburgers and kids love it.
I made different color pancakes (and tye-dye ones, too) for my step-kids when I first started cooking for them and they thought it was the greatest thing on earth!
