SEND THIS TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE.
This is something you may want to take note of: ONLY USE KETCHUP FROM
THE PACKET IN FAST FOOD OUTLETS!!
A man was caught placing blood in the ketchup dispenser at a fast food
outlet (to remain unnamed) within the last month. It is believed that
he is HIV+.
So be sure to let your friends/family know...only use items that come
in a closed packet.

So some man put blood (HIV positive blood no less) into an UNNAMED fast food "outlet?"

Oh yeah, I'm skeered. Next you'll be telling me to watch out for malls on Halloween. Oh wait, that was last year.



Republican propaganda anyone? Kerry's wife = Teresa Heinz, ketchup queen!

My Mom told me that the bigass mushroom in my Chinese rice was a rats nose.

So when exactly have you seen a real honest news worthy story distributed solely via email complete with the advice "SEND THIS TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE". CNN must be shaking now that we have figured out a way to keep them out of the loop on such breaking news items.

water_boy1999

Yeah, my parents told me brussel sprouts were good for me too. What a croc of BS.

Can HIV even survive in ketchup? Doesn't seem likely.

Hmm, you may be right Stompy. The main ingredients in Ketchup are sugar and vineagar. Vineagar, which I think is a base would more than likely be able to kill the virus.

Is there a chemist in the house?

AIDS dies quickly outside the body, you can't get it this way, even if it didn't for the same reason you couldn't get it from kissing is the acids from your saliva and stomache make it toast.

neutone

Right, thus making it perfectly safe and acceptable to place one's HIV infected blood in the Ketchup bottle at MacDees!

Stompy

Exactly

Dont most big places like McDonalds only hand out packets? Ive not been inside one in a while, but IIRC they always just hand out packets?

Slavakion

I don't know about the bigger places, but at my Wendy's they have two ketchup pumps. God help you if they run dry

And vinegar is an acid

My first clue was... SEND THIS TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE.

The ketchup that comes out of those pumps is from a bag anyways. The pump just squeezes down on a plastic bag that is connected to the pump.

irseg

Why do people even fall for this crap? Those e-mails are all the same-- some scary implausible story that does not give any specific details or references to news articles, with a stupid "fact" or two thrown in (it is "believed" the guy is HIV+???), followed by "SEND THIS TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE".

nothingx

Yeah seriously... I can't believe that some people haven't learned not to believe anything they get in a forwarded email. Especially when it instructs you to send as many copies as you can to friends and family.

aurigus

Chain emails are so 1995.
