The point ----->

Your head.

Nice to know you're keeping track of all my posts, though.

So because I pointed out one instance where I called you out on being cocky I keep track of your posts? I just happen to remember what I post, because I take my time to think a little bit before I do it. You should try it some time. :hmm:

You've got serious issues. I suggest you seek help or get a life.

Only if and when the can blows up or it rust out and leaks.

Sometimes it gets bad before a can breech. It'll taste very metallic, and ruin the food. I made a can of Campbells potato soup last night that "expired" in 2011. It was fine.

The girl cat's awesome. She should be good company for you. Watch out for the boy. He's big, he's an asshole, and he only likes me. Don't turn your back on him ;^)

To those whose ketchup lasts for years, just make sloppy joes every once in a while. Ground beef, plus ketchup, a little brown sugar, garlic powder, and some chopped onion or onion powder. And just a little squirt of mustard.

Wayyyyyy better than canned sloppy joe mixes. You're welcome.
sounds too sweet for my taste, I would barf if I had to eat so much ketchup, I use just a squirt for a portion of fries usually.

I didn't say a whole bag of brown sugar! Just a teaspoon or two to 2 pounds of ground beef. You could always stick to the high fructose corn syrup in manwhich mix if you wish.

Tomato Puree (Water, Tomato Paste), High Fructose Corn Syrup, Distilled Vinegar, Corn Syrup, Less than 2% of: Salt, Sugar, Dehydrated Onions, Dehydrated Red and Green Bell Peppers, Chile Pepper, Tomato Fiber, Spices, Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum, Dehydrated Garlic, Carob Bean Gum, Natural Flavors.
Oh yeah, and I toss in a bit of chile pepper to taste, but not much because my wife doesn't like hot things.

I even refrigerate peanut butter. Ironically the people who complain about this prefer chunky.

sung to the tune of Roxanne:
ROOOOOOOSSSSMAN! You don't have to necro the red blight! (ketchup)
Rossmaaan
necro the red blight
Rossmaaaan
necro the red blight...

I ultra pasteurize my ketchup with high energy radiation. It gains the ability to move under it's own power and tries to get away when taking a bite of a burger but it's too slow to get away and at best oozes onto the plate slowly where it can be gathered and consumed anyway.

I do refrigerate ketchup and mustard, but we cannot blame those who doesn't. it's not those kind that necessarily needed to be refrigerated. do you ask for a refrigerated ketchup or mustard when go to the fast-food rest? lol

Ketchup does not separate when kept in the refrigerator but mustard still does. On a related note, mustard is a helluva lot healthier for you.
