Make-up For Food

by Joey deVilla on March 29, 2005

A couple of Fridays ago, after doing the opening stand-up act for Peril from Beyond Space,

I joined Scott Watkins and company at a restaurant/bar across the

street. There, I noticed something unusual about the label on the

bottle of Heinz ketchup that was sitting on the table…

Photo: Unusual label for Heinz ketchup: 'Hides grill marks'.

“Hides grill marks?” Since when were grill marks unsightly?

Why is the bottle black?

It’s not. The photo’s just dark. You’re also probably using Windows, which shows images much darker. On Windows, the bottle looks almost black, but on the Mac, it looks dark red.

Maybe you’re not thinking “out of the box”: maybe by “grill marks” it means “the marks left by the front of a Suburban on an unsuspecting deer at 1:30 am on the Trans-Canada Highway just west of the Sault.”
