LOL. Reminds me of an old sitcom in the 1960's. "That Girl," starring a
young Marlo Thomas. She was new to NYC and poor. One day she walked
into a restaruant and just ordered a cup of hot water. Then she used the
free ketchup plus salt and pepper to make "tomato soup."

I've always wanted to try that at home just to see how it tastes. It's
on my bucket list. Heck, maybe I'll try it today???
