"The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved." -- Confucius

The Results Are In

My first case of W - America's Ketchup arrived today. Three days from order to my door. They're on the ball over there, that's for sure.

First impressions... looks like the "other ketchup" in the bottle (the safety seal is much easier to remove on the W bottles) and the consistancy.

The taste... I was a bit apprehensive. I mean, I've been eating Heinz for over three decades now. So, was this stuff going to stack up? Was it going to be a clone? Was it going to be noticably different? Was it going to flatout suck? I was surprised. Pleasantly so. It's pretty damn good. There are subtle undertones and topnotes and a bunch of other words that no doubt have my wine connoisseur friends apoplectic. There's a subtle spiciness to it. A more adult ketchup I guess you could put it.

The judgement... W's a keeper.
