I just got back from the local "Scottish restaurant" and found that they are no longer serving Heinz ketchup, but some watery and tasteless crap called "First Street."
The change was announced a couple of months ago. Apparently, the local McDonald's had quite an inventory of Heinz ketchup in their basement as only now the new brand is now being served.
McDonald's had been serving Heinz for over 40 years.
It appears that the new CEO for Heinz ketchup is an ex-Burger King executive and good ol' Ronald McDonald doesn't particularly like the fellow.
Here's the story behind the intrigue.
