A friend of mine has a saying above his house door on the inside (so you see it going out) to the effect of “To the rest of the world, we’re just a normal family”… I’ve always wondered what a real “normal” family would be like.
Last year I was having breakfast in Bath, England, and encountered a bottle of “Heinz Edchup.” Thanks to Google, I found that it was a promotion with a singer named Ed Sheeran who apparently has a serious fetish about ketchup. Later, I saw some in a store, so naturally, this Ed had to buy one and bring it home.
By the way, English traders brought “catchup” back from China in 1690. The name “ketchup” showed up in 1711 and “catsup” in “1730.” So if anyone asks you if the original name was “ketchup” or “catsup,” the answer is “no.”

“Ketchup”? “Catsup”? Both taste the same to me when I dip my fries in ’em.

OMG! How can a family live like that?
