I like my ketchup but I'm not that much of an addict. However, after reading this post I tried packet ketchup from MacDonald's and the bottled stuff (both claim to be Heinz), and I noticed a clear difference. I agree that the packet stuff tastes better. I decided to read the ingredients labels and noticed that the packet ketchup said garlic powder as an ingredient, whereas the bottled one did not. Could that be it? *edit* just hoped someone might have answered here, did anyone notice this difference?

It's funny that you said you hadn't seen glass bottles of ketchup before, jorgelito, because here in Portugal until about a year ago we only had glass bottles of heinz ketchup ( and packets in fast food places of course).

I refrigerate my ketchup because I don't eat it so fast and it would spoil. On the label round the bottle's neck it says that you should refrigerate after opening.

The Heinz Ketchup here doesn't use that syrup stuff you guys mentioned, it just says sugar.

We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
