It's Never Simple

Laughing at ketchup
I went to the grocery store today - about the only really productive thing I did - and found myself howling at the ketchup display.

As I rounded the corner there was an endcap stacked with Heinz Ketchup. I have no idea why I even stopped to look, or if a label caught my eye, but not ONE actually says Heinz Ketchup on it. The bottles are the same shape as always, and the label has that same shape that reminds me of a shield, so at first glance you wouldn't notice anything. But if you stand and start reading you see labels that say any one of the following:

Better looking than Relish
Comforts Burnt Hot-dogs
Easier to spell than Worcestershire (my favorite)
For the Burger than has everything
French Fries not Included
Meatloaf Enhancer
Seeking Employment in your Kitchen
Warning: Slow Moving Condiment (my other favorite)

I practically had tears running down my face when I saw them, and I got out a notebook to copy them down. I think I may have to go back and buy some (even though I don't need any ketchup) just so I can save the labels.

It's not often that a trip to the grocery store produces such levity!
