They say a principle is only a principle if it costs you something. Well the first week of my #USboycott meant I missed a match on Amazon where my team #Arsenal won 7-1. So it goes. On the plus side, we had to try an alternative to #Heinz beans. #Branston beans are so much better. Not just a little, but much, much better. Why have I wasted so much of my life drooling over Heinz beans? Now all I need is a tomato soup that’s better and I’m away.

Doesn’t matter. I’ll always take #French’s over #Heinz.

I have family in Leamington. Can confirm it was a BIG DEAL when Heinz left! Major feelings of betrayal. I wonder how they feel now that Heinz decided to go to reopen in Quebec?

I also doubt that the Heinz ketchup I buy is Canadian made. More likely to come up from California? But maybe so. I'll have to check.

I agree with #Trudeau: I stopped buying #Heinz 10 years ago. Only #French's ketchup and mustard since then. If #Heinz has been back in #Canada since 2020: very poor messaging.

When #HJHeinz closed its Leamington, Ontario, factory after 109 years, @Frenchs stepped in, hired the former #Heinz employees, and began making ketchup. Canadians tend to be loyal to @Frenchs and their better product as a result. https://www.cbc.ca/documentaries/short-docs/inside-the-ketchup-war-what-happened-after-the-heinz-factory-closed-in-leamington-ont-1.6779772 #TheKetchupWar

Overall, Henry John Heinz "played a critical role in enacting, interpreting, and enforcing the 1906 statute, and he was behind every meeting with President Roosevelt up to the hilt."

The Pure Food and Drug Act passed into legislation in 1906 thanks to the lobbying efforts of #heinz

I believe in supporting and being loyal to brands that are loyal to you, or do "the right thing".

Several years back, #Heinz closed their Canadian plant that makes Heinz Ketchup. Moved all production to the USA so they could save $0.015 per bottle sold. Cost 100s of Canadian jobs.

So I switched to French' Ketchup, and haven't bought any Heinz products since.

French's is made in Canada, using Canadian produce. Canadians eat a LOT of ketchup. We even put it on hot dogs (gasp!).
