I never considered it. I just refrigerated all of that because that
is what my mother did.

I agree on the mayo, but ketchup has never been in the fridge in my house.

I store all of that stuff in the fridge. I use it so seldom that
it would grow mold. In fact, sometimes that stuff grows mold even in the
fridge.

I know that it can sit out for a long time but I keep ours in the fridge
because we so seldom use it that I think we would be pushing the limits.
A bottle of ketchup lasts us at least months.

It's not exactly my area. It is more than 200 miles west of us. Heinz
had been making ketchup there for over 100 years and a couple years ago
the parent company shut down the plant and moved production to the US.
That as devastating to the small town because a huge chunk of its
economy was based on tomatoes. Moving the production to the US not only
put a couple hundred people out of work but it also left all those
tomato farmers stranded.

French's came along and bought the facilities and started making
ketchup. I don't use much ketchup but I have to say that I prefer the
French's product to Heinz, which IMO has evolved into a weak, runny,
sweet glop over the years.

Wasn't all that long ago that all people had was an ice-a-box, that's
all we had, wasn't much room for storage and wasn't wise to open the
door unnessesarily. Growing up we didn't keep many condiments and
certainly not in the humongous sizes available today. There was a
time when restaurants would refill ketchup bottles from bulk
containers, they are no longer permitted because that transfers
disease germs from hands, coughing, and sneezing... packets cost more
but are far more sanitary.

Pickled onions are vacuum sealed, once opened they lose their aroma
and at a much quicker rate at room temperature than chilled. Pickled
onions are relatively expensive and not used up quickly, it's wasting
your money not to refrigerate.

I don't use many condiments often so I refrigerate to maintain
quality... a large bottle of ketchup can last me 2-3 years. I
refrigerate mustard because it's flavor changes once opened and when
left at room temperature for months. I use at least three times as
much mustard as ketchup. Also notice how these condiments are in
narrow necked containers, that's to limit exposure to air... once
opened and used the level goes down so more surface area is exposed
causing oxidation to occur more rapidly... that's why they say
"refrigerate after opening". With many of these products the aroma is
as important as flavor, like fruit jams which you'll notice are vacuum
sealed, once opened their aroma dissapates to the air more rapidly at
room temperature. With condiments it's wise to replace lids tightly,
same as one should with booze and perfumes. I've seen where lazy
people even toss condiment lids into the trash, they do the same with
butter, it's left exposed at room temperature, it loses its aroma and
absorbs all sorts of hidious odors, may as well use cheapo margerine.

When I buy condiments in twin packs or large containers I use my
basement fridge for storing the extras, which reminds me I need to
refill my small soy sauce bottle from the quart size of Kikkoman in
the basement fridge... I keep the small bottle in the kitchen fridge,
their web site explains why it should be refrigerated. I know someone
is going to come along and ridicule my use of Kikkoman when there are
others but that's what works for me... I don't care for the lower salt
one either.
I also prefer Del Monte ketchup to Heinz but I'll buy whichever is on
sale... I use more ketchup in marinades than directly on food.

I don't boycott any food or stores. If they sell what I want, I don't
give a crap about their political views or even how they treat their
employees.

Super Walmart is scheduled to open 1.5 miles from me within a few
months. I'm looking forward to that. I might even check out the
grocery part and start buying some items from there.

Not proud or otherwise. I buy what I want and go for the best deal.

That was your choice but those pickled cocktail onions bought at
market are packed in vacuum sealed jars. Perhaps you are pickling
full size onions for some other use, and why "Until very recently"?

If a company really misbehaves in a big way, I don't want their
products. I don't see that as 'issues', but as 'standards'. But at the
moment, all I avoid are anything with palm oil and places like KFC,
McDonald's etc.

I wouldn't say that I am boycotting Heinz ketchup or the company in
general. We had a town pretty well devastated by their decision to move
south, leaving a lot of people out of work and a lot of farmers without
a market. Then French's bought the plant and started making ketchup. I
bought it out of loyalty to the people who did something to tried to
help. I was impressed with the product. I don't use much ketchup so
neither company will be affected much either way, but AAMOF I picked up
a bottle of it today. There was en end bunker of it on special.

If either one of those places offer some good sale, I'll stop by
there tomorrow on the way home.

As I've said before, I so seldom eat at the various places, I really
don't worry about or care about what they use or whatever.
They are both great for the taste buds. That's all that matters.

Last time I bought KFC, was 2-3 years ago. Great coupons,
great deals and I loved the food. I'm hoping to see more
coupons. Without coupons, they seem very overpriced.

McD's I usually go maybe 4 times a year. Again, since it's so
infrequent, I don't ever worry about the ingredients. Again,
the taste buds tell me it's great. I trust my taste buds.

When I die, at least I will have enjoyed the journey.
I don't over-indulge in anything but I also don't deny myself
anything that sounds good. 7-11 nachos sound good to me now.
I might just have to walk up there and buy a batch.

I buy what and where is best for me. WalMart is good for some things,
very good prices on many items. I don't buy their meats excepts for
packages stuff like bacon. Wrights bacon is a buck cheaper than the
other store farther away.

Why do geese get such a bad rep anyway? They don't even have arms they
can raise.

That was your choice but those pickled cocktail onions bought at
market are packed in vacuum sealed jars. Perhaps you are pickling
full size onions for some other use, and why "Until very recently"?

================

Not huge onions at all. Something like these:

"watch geese" are well known to be ferocious. They are as noisy as
dogs, being pinched by their beak is no picnic and they will beat on
you with their wings. Plus they will work as a team to take out
intruders. Oh, and they are fast.

I'm really starting to suspect that we USAins elected a weirdo.
As of now, I predict he'll never win a re-election unless Hillary
tries to run on more time.

Welcome to the party pal. Sooner or later Trump will have learn to keep his big yap shut and let the people around him take control of the country. In order for him to be successful, he'll need to delegate the presidency to people that sorta knows about these things. That's what the smart CEO does and that's what the people who elected him desired. It could work.
