I especially enjoy Heinz ketchup on french fries having first tried putting ketchup on them while in high school. I enjoy it on hamburgers and an occasional hot dog but never put it or A1 sauce on a steak which many people do.

From Charlie Munger:

CM: "It was very interesting. It's something about the flavor of ketchup on a goddamn fried potato that people aren't really willing to change brands over. They want Heinz. And so we could raise the price of Heinz. Pretty much any, but you try to raise the Kraft cheese and everything goes into rebellion, including the final customer, the housewife. They don't care that much about whether the cheese is Kraft or not."

See so many adults slathering it on everything before they even taste their food. Why put on a sugary/vinergar glop on perfectly good tasting food.
Why is it any of your business what anyone else decides to eat? Why don't you worry about yourself instead of berating total strangers who have done nothing to you?

Actually your very first sentence is telling adults what they should not eat.
Frankly, I can't believe anyone would actually go to dinner with you and suffer thru that attitude.

Fries without ketchup? How barbaric.

Next thing we will be told no ketchup on burgers. Where is this world coming too?

I agree. Watching others eat while sitting in a restaurant is quite disgusting and very creepy.

It disgusts me to see someone put sugar on grapefruit. But, I don’t have to rant tell the world.

A good grapefruit does not need sugar but often a bit of sugar does make it better.

How miserable must one’s life be to post about what other people eat?

Is it the sugar or vinegar that bothers you? What would you recommend as a substitute for cocktail sauce for shrimp?
