Custom Ketchup Labels

How about ketchup bottles as favors at your next big party? How about not! I cannot, for the life of me, understand why someone would want to have customize Heinz bottles This must cater to the same group of people who want custom M&M's, etc. Alright, I'll come clean. I was thinking of buying one of those customized bags of M&M's but that's just more fun that ketchup.

The must amusing part of visiting the Heinz website is the flash animation with example messages and events. Recent grad? Say it with Heinz! Your friend Amanda's birthday coming up? Say it with Heinz!




The most dreadful of all, however is the last example. Imagine your wedding day. The flowers are blooming, the birds are singing and everything is just perfect. The party favors arrive and instead of that little bag of chalky candy with a customized ribbon, a burned CD, or whatever David Beahm can dream of, your guests get this:



Jamie and Mark must truly be in love... with ketchup. I would rather a mixtape of dreadfully sappy music than this.

It's too bad that there is a 20 character-per-line, 3-line limit or I would try and fit a great Henry Miller quote on the bottle: “Americans can eat garbage, provided you sprinkle it liberally with ketchup mustard, chili sauce, Tabasco sauce, cayenne pepper, or any other condiment which destroys the original flavor of the dish."
