We have all been lied to!

Before you squeeze ketchup onto your hot dogs, hamburgers, fries, etc., have you wondered if your ketchup is legit?

Well, you might need to start asking yourself that from now on.

Is It Real or Fake?

But, when a company dominates at something, imitators will always be ready to capitalize on greatness!

Believe it or not, most restaurants do not give you real ketchup when you ask for it.

 

Thankfully, Heinz recognizes this dilemma with all of the frauds out there. The company has created a covert strategy for all consumers to find the REAL good stuff.

Luckily, I have all the information you need so you do not get duped by the fake stuff!

How To Know If Your Ketchup Is Fake

Since people can be sneaky, Heinz came up with an interesting way to find out if the ketchup is Heinz-worthy or if you have been duped.

It is actually quite simple.

All you have to do is look at the label! Heinz added a colored border around the label. That border matches the exact color of the ketchup in the bottle. You might not even notice it without really looking at the bottle.

However, the border will be extremely noticeable if the ketchup is not Heinz.
