Ketchup

Monday, March 31st, 2008 at 7:46 pm

Erin likes Heinz ketchup, not Hunt’s. I have never been able to keep this straight because I grew up on a 15-house dead-end street, two doors down from Mr. Hunt and across the street from Mr. Heinz.

How do I remember which one to buy? Mr. Heinz used to go for long walks all the time, and Mr. Hunt was a woodworker. Erin likes to take walks; woodworking, not so much. So, I buy Heinz.

    Erin is a smart woman. Heinz is the only way to go. Hunts is too sweet.

    It all tastes like ketchup to me, but I suppose this is like Coke vs. Pepsi: some people can’t even tell the difference, but I won’t drink Pepsi if I can avoid it.

    Here’s how I used to remember it: Heinz has 57 flavors. 5 + 7 is 12, and December is the twelfth month of the year. Christmas is in December, and who comes at Christmas? Santa Claus. Santa Claus is from the North Pole, but the northernmost state in the continental USA is Maine. Jym is from Maine, and Jym hates Hunts. So I buy Hunts.
