- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -10/+89This is why we're (correctly) perceived as a country of waste. 1500lbs of ketchup... so a church could be rebuilt?
- Gadren, on 10/10/2007, -2/+72I want to step on it.
- ScorpioPT, on 10/10/2007, -2/+58Give me a 18-foot-tall cheeseburger, then well talk
- wildfire, on 10/10/2007, -1/+28The fun I could have with a bus full of people, a tree, and that packet...
- ElbridgeGerry, on 10/10/2007, -0/+25>"That's a lot of ketchup," said Tracey Parsons, a Heinz spokeswoman.
Sounds like a SimCity 2000 newspaper story. - shunter99, on 10/10/2007, -1/+23Glad to see CNN reporting on the important stuff.
- SteaminTmann, on 10/10/2007, -0/+21Finally! now I dont have to grab 35 of them just to eat my french fries..
- richkidd, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17Would it have hurt the photographer to walk back a little to capture the entire ketchup packet?
- wildfire, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17Actually, I probably don't need the packet...
- harteLK, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13"That's a lot of ketchup," said Tracey Parsons, a Heinz spokeswoman.
- harteLK, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11too bad supersize mc donalds doesn't exist anymore!
- Anrkist, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Whats the tree for?
- quaxon, on 10/10/2007, -4/+12my thoughts exactly, there are thousands, if not millions of people starving in this country (lets forget other countries for a second) and they are going to waste a ***** of what could have been good, edible food and wasting it so a church/town can boost its ego and rebuild a church. has american officially gotten too fat for walk-a-thons and other positive forms of fund raising?
- rationalist, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Thanks to Ronald Reagan, that packet is also the world's largest vegetable.
- Anrkist, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Look how many diggs it got, it made it to the FP... that's how important people think a giant ketchup packet is. You can sleep better at night knowing, there's a giant ketchup packet you've been dreaming of your entire life.
- awgg919, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7America: 1 Japan: 0
- Anrkist, on 10/10/2007, -7/+12Sorry we can't save the world. Sucks to be on top I guess.
- Jambi, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6No ones' asking the US to save the world, but what's the point of useless crap like this? It's good for no more than a 5 second mention in the news, or the occasional internet blurb. Does this sort of stuff provide a return on investment? Is so, I'd love to see some statistics on it...I've always thought that most of these sorts of stunts were pretty useless.
- LegOfLamb, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Yeah, the bus would be covered in red stuff either way.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4That's probably the only statement that won't get them sued
- Pilot85, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I wouldn't keep a ketchup packet in my pocket anyway. That seems like an all around bad idea.
- tehrob, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Stick it under Bigfoot's back tire :)
- feckineejit, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I asked for CATSUP not KETCHUP! - what a waste!
- Germs, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3It's a small school looking to raise some money, not a church. Yes it's still a waste of perfectly good ketchup but the U.S. wastes in so many ways, there's no point in lingering on this.
- Maynza, on 10/10/2007, -9/+12It is going to be filled with the blood of Ethiopian children (it's cheaper).
- cevil203, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3In other news..a teenager was killed Sunday by a massive packet of ketchup when it fell on top of him.god bless his soul. god bless america
- EXreaction, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Better this than the usual...

N was raped today...
S was arrested for the 37th DUI
U just got his first Apple 2 to show for us today. This new fangled technology is neat.

K and
S at a daycare - darny, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Ugh. This, along with the world's largest omelet, pizza, ice cream sundae, etc is why the world HATES US. How can we pull crap like this when the world is at war and people are starving? and people don't have health care?!!!!!!????????????
- JangoFett, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2How long is it going to take them to empty 4,000 glass bottles of ketchup?
- EXreaction, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Glad to see digg screwed my comment up again. Take the capital letters from above, minus the DUI, A in Apple, and T in This and you'll see what I was trying to do (it was supposed to all be on seperate lines)
- MasterThief117, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4You'd get sucked into it.
- netkid91, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3IM IN UR TUBES STEALIN UR PAKETZ
- ir6c, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Let's find Hogzilla and a barrel of coleslaw!
- MyDigitalSin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1does anyone realize how much high fructose corn syrup that is.
that's enough to make rhode island fatter than it already is. - 0zzy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I lived 10 minutes from there! :O Some hometown news on Digg.
- EXreaction, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER?
- xtraa, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Size isn’t all that matters, especially when it comes to junkfood.
- simplejoe79, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I hate ketchup
- raptormn, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1lol. i live a block from this. yes the worlds largest ketchup bottle is in the same town.
- xero69, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I hope they are going to at least recycle the 4,000 glass bottles. Glad it's also charity thing and not strictly a publicity stunt.
- p51d007, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1No, see the reason people are putting the town down can be explained easily.
1. It's a small town in "flyover" country
2. It has to do wtih religion. That's like a vampire bat looking at a cross. - h4mx0r, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1It is. It's an even worse idea when you have a packet each of Italian, BBQ, Ketchup, Horseradish, Ranch, and Salt in your pocket. Don't ask why I did. It was middle school.
- L1V3EV1L, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1now i just need a cheeseburger big enough to go with that
- spect3r, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Don't - IT'S A TRAP!
- p51d007, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Plaxx...go suck a raw egg.
Geez, get over it - ripstuntz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I believe Collinsville holds the world record the the biggest ketchup bottle as well, I drive by it all the time =D
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/24/Collinsville_watertower.jpg/200px-Collinsville_watertower.jpg - xero69, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1McDonald's was contemplating bringing back the super sized drink under the name "Hugo" to compete with 7-11 and the "big gulp". However, it appears the media backlash has them rethinking the Hugo. They were only doing the Hugo in certain markets though, not nationwide.
- KingGorilla, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1we could always send that ketchup packet to hungry kids
- blup3ace, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1only raising $4000?
people would still do it for $5 a bottle, = $20000.
idiots. - skyfire1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Try fitting that in your golf box.
