Is this still America? Why no longer any love for ketchup?

Is this still America? Why no longer any love for ketchup?
by Frank Drebin (2019-02-16 17:52:39)

Was out at lunch today at a burger restaurant with a few neighbors. We all had fries with our burgers. When I asked if anyone else wanted ketchup for their fries, the response was a very resounding “NO!” One younger neighbor even added “do you even know what kind of sordid acts go on at a ketchup factory? I said that I never heard of one and asked him to elaborate. Before he could follow up with a response he got interrupted by the waitress and never got back to the response.

Anyone else noticing the growing lack of love for ketchup these days especially among millennials?
