What's your favorite condiment?  Ketchup always scores top of the list in most surveys.  But, which brand of ketchup you choose is important, right?  Heinz Ketchup wants to make sure it is the brand of choice on restaurant tables across America.  Your meal might be reimbursed if your restaurant doesn't serve Heinz.  Yes, Heinz could pay you if their ketchup isn't on the table.  The "Tip For Heinz" campaign is ongoing through December 21.  So, here's what to do.  If you eat out at a restaurant that dares to serve another ketchup brand, you need to go to work.  Simply provide your normal gratuity.  Then, hand write "$1 Tip For Heinz" at the bottom of the receipt.  Snap a photo and share on Instagram tagging #TipforHeinz and #sweepstakes.  Heinz also accepts entries at tipforheinz.com.  The ketchup company then reimburses the full gratuity up to $20.  When all is said and done, Heinz plans to pick 100 people to reimburse for the cost of the meal.  And, the restaurant wins, too.  The first 10 restaurants to switch out their brands as part of the campaign get a year's supply of Heinz.

According to a press release, Heinz takes ketchup preferences seriously.  They say, "we support Americans who demand more from the condiments restaurants serve."  They say the campaign hopes to work towards a future where fans can expect Heinz wherever they go. And, a lot goes into that unassuming bottle of tomato goodness.  "Heinz Tomato Masters" oversee the ketchup making process, making sure only the best tomatoes make it into their product.  The company reported 2020 net sales of $26 billion.  I love ketchup.  Until now I never really thought about what's on the restaurant table.  But, I suppose it is Heinz more often than not.  And, I do appreciate that.  You can't have french fries without a pool of ketchup to dip them in!  So, be on the lookout during this campaign where Heinz could pay you if you can't have their product at your favorite restaurant.

It's French Fry Day! French fries is one of the best forms of potato you can find. They come in tons of different shapes and flavors. From waffle to shoe string to seasoned to sweet potato, you can enjoy a french fry in many unique ways. One of the best arguments is who has the greatest french fries? Ever judged someone based on what their answer might be, I know, me too. As a french fry obsessed person, voting who has the best french fries is always fun for me.
