Ketchup bottle, George W. Bush, 2004 | Smithsonian Institution
Description
The 2004 presidential race was between the Republican incumbent President George W. Bush and his Democratic challenger John Kerry, senator from Massachusetts. Because Kerry’s wife, Teresa Heinz, was related to the Heinz family who founded a food processing company, a group of New York City Republicans started their own ketchup company to avoid eating Heinz ketchup.
Using a label picturing George Washington, W Ketchup was introduced in 2004 with the advertising slogan “You don’t support Democrats. Why should your Ketchup?” (Teresa Heinz was not a majority stakeholder in the Heinz Company.) The product was distributed through internet sales and no proceeds were contributed to political campaigns. The W Ketchup company ceased production in 2015.

How did it last that fucking long
chuds are crazy enough to keep it going forever, but they found a new god in 2015
Longer than the conservative ice cream company

Ted Nugent had said that he was a fan of the “Gun Nut” flavor.
Okay, “Choc & Awe” is pretty damn good.
To the curious: it was worse, it was not as good as Heinz or Hunt’s, and it didn’t fill the void of Dad being deployed to the illegal war (that he apparently really wanted to go to). Would not recommend.
Why are there North Vietnamese guerrillas with straw hats on the label
I think those are supposed to be revolutionary war era triangle hats… But they do look conical 😆
The W Ketchup company ceased production in 2015

How’s the deal in the US with Washington and Lincoln and so on not a personality cult? You have a literal mountain with their faces carved in, and they’re fucking everywhere from bills to statues to media
“Their personality cult” vs “Our civic traditions”
