And let's not forget about Heinz ketchup – the sticky, tangy, universally beloved condiment that turns every meal into a feast for the senses. Henry J. Heinz had a vision: he wanted to bring the vibrant flavors of ripe tomatoes to every table in America. Or really, wanted to give the USA an alternative to the popular fermented fish sauce (really!) that was widely used to liven up the taste or cover up the expired-ness of food. Tomatoes sound like a bit of an improvement! So, he whipped up the first batch of his legendary ketchup in 1876. Fast forward to today, and Heinz ketchup bottles have become a fixture in kitchens, diners, and picnics across the land. Whether you're dipping your fries or adding a dollop to your hotdog, you're indulging in a time-tested tradition that has found a special place in the hearts (and taste buds) of Americans.
