I know most people do but my family does not. The ketchup doesn't go bad or anything, and i was jw, because cold ketchup seems pointless to me especially when u put it on hot food...why would you want it to cool down your food?
The same goes for mustard

haha
scott, what do you mean 'dark in color'? hah was it in a hot place or somethign because we dont refridgerate as i said and it stays the same color
Anyway (the freaky part) I was getting my ketchup out earlier (had hot dogs for dinner) and dropped it on the kitchen floor. It burst on the bottom (split and made a gash). Ketchup went everywhere in about a 2ft. radius splatter that the CSI gang would've LOVED to have seen.
It was a plastic Heinz bottle, so no dangerous glass breakage. But the bottle was beyond being saved, so into the garbage it went. Did I have a backup one in the cabinet? Why, yes I did.
Moral of the story: don't drop your ketchup bottle and let it split open when you're wearing light khaki pants.
on a similar story i...ahh nm since u probably dont know the food i'd be talkign about adn i'd have to explain i'll jsut let it go
Tomato = No Refrigerator
Not sure what my rationale is since Ketchup is just Tomatoes with other tidbits that don't go bad thrown in AFAIK.
Also, I'm slightly unclear on why I use Ketchup and not Catsup, but I do.

that was a good story...did it bother you to use warm ketchup?
Yeah, a little. A real hot, uh, hot dog and a warm steamy bun are always nicely offset by a cold shot of ketchup and mustard (still had cold mustard, so it all worked out).

haha least you have good rational

Cool Ketchup and Mustard on Hot Dogs is an imperative for the modern renaissance man. These strongly contrasted temperatures serve to reinforce the truism that opposites attract in particular for heterosexual males who wish for that sort of reaffirmation of gender roles which the male might happen to be questioning after he has just devoured a wiener.
Although really we should all just be eating Johnsonville Beer and Bratwursts constantly and having coronaries at age 37.

Also I strongly disagree on your condemnation of differing temperatures. For instance, who would want nice warm lettuce on your chicken tacos. No one. It's morally repugnant.

i'll be glad to eat a piece of lettuce when its warm as long as its still crips and green as before...ketchup however doesn't change with temperature
Now i store mustard in fridge while open, the non open one are stored at normal temperature.
I work at a restaurant.
The ketchups are recombined constantly so that you rarely get a "new" ketchup bottle.
Kinda sick when you consider it might not be 100% ketchup if you get my drift...
(Especially if you come in 10 minutes before closing!)
And does anyone out there own up to buying non-Heinz ketchup for home? I was at a restaurant the other day and the ketchup bottles on the table were some company-label brand made by Sysco (giant foodservice/restaurant supply company). Low class. I admit it ... I'm a ketchup snob.
mmmmm
If they sold that in bottles I would buy it fo' sho'.
