Heinz is changing the recipe for it’s iconic product:
Your fries may never taste the same again!
For the first time in 40 years, Heinz ketchup is changing its famous recipe — by lowering the salt content in an effort to appeal to more health-conscious consumers, the company said yesterday.
Company officials have taste tested the new blend and believe it will be as popular as their old recipe, which has a 60 percent share of the ketchup market.
But Heinz fans fear that the company may be messing with perfection and that the switch could wind up a flavor debacle equal to the infamous rollout of New Coke.
“Leave the ketchup alone,” said Heinz fan, Patrick Johnson, of Brooklyn. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
“I’m so used to the ketchup the way it is — why would they change it?” said Joe Oliva of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, who has been eating the ketchup for nearly eight decades. “I’m 80 years old, and I haven’t died yet. It’s really hard for me to eat without salt. I think it’s infringing on our rights!”
To the barricades I tell you !
This is what happens when bed wetters get to be in charge of things.
The world has gone MAD.
The recipe is not the same as it was 80 years ago anyway. They subtly replaced whatever their sweetener was with HFCS, which was only invented in the ’70s. Nobody seems to care about it now.
