Berkshire and 3G Capital to Buy Heinz for $23 Billion

I'm guessing that you'd be surprised by the number of people that would be able to pick out the Heinz ketchup in a double blind test. I know people that refuse the ketchup at McDonalds specifically because it's not Heinz.

Found this:

and many more taste tests. Not to say that not many people honestly prefer Heinz ketchup, but there seem to be no empirical evidence proving that Heinz would be the "best" ketchup.

I never said it was the best. I just said that people could pick out Heinz. It has a very distinct taste.
