Why do ketchup bottle lids suck now?

Not At all. Heinz is the one true ketchup. Everything else is just sucky catsup. Margie

There has been a situation north of the border in Kanuckistan! French's ketchup is catching on due to Heinz dropping the use of Leamington grown tomatoes, and French's started making their own ketchup from the Leamington tomatoes - keeping Leamington tomato farmers in business.

French's ketchup has become a pro-kanuckistan movement. Their squeeze bottles also don't suck.

I do my best to not buy Heinz anything, sending my hard earned Cleveland dollars to Pittsburgh

We need a write up on this.

This stuff was good, so they discontinued it.

Yes, please. I tried this once, but it wasn't a clean operation. I ended up mauling the restrictor into submission more so than removing it.

Squirt the entire bottle into a mason jar and use a spoon.

Does anyone make their own ketchup?

I made some mushroom Ketchup a couple of months ago that turned out really well. It is a nice change of pace from the usual condiments.
