I knew there were ketchup haters here.
I'm also glad to see people liking it as well. Thank you.
The ketchup without high fructose corn syrup tastes better. In fact, Whataburger branded ketchup is really good, and doesn't have corn syrup.

Well, my wife would argue with you on the pineapple on pizza, she loves it. When we go out for pizza we'll order half with pineapple and ham, the other half gets sausage, pepperoni, ground beef, onions, green pepper, and extra cheese.
Ketchup has it's place, I like the ketchup/brown sugar glaze on meatloaf, I like it on french fries and other stuff at times and use it in recipes for certain blander foods to give the food a bit more zip. Why people are so snobbish about it really makes no sense to me. Eat what you like, no need to be rude or make fun of other peoples tastes, I'm sure you eat things that they may gag over but most won't condemn you for liking it.
I love fish and other seafood but I just don't care for oysters, salmon, or anchovies no matter how they are fixed (and I have tried them fixed a great number of different ways), it's just my taste buds I guess. But I do love calamari and octopus. Does that make me a bad person?
Ketchup on burgers, hot dogs, fries, tots, hash browns, scrambled eggs, baloney sandwich and of course meatloaf painted with ketchup.
And if you're ever behind in whatever you're doing, just put a tomato in your shoe and you'll ketchup!

An old comixtrip, Downstown, one character was getting ready to eat the cooking of a certain person, and the main character said forget the salt, bomb it with ketchup. Been a family joke ever since.
If someone would just make ketchup ice cream, that would end the argument.

Like others here, I do like ketchup on some foods, but not on most things.
For those who do like ketchup - do any of you remember when Heinz tried marketing ketchup in designer colors?
They made blue, purple and green ketchup for certain. Maybe some others as well. The flavor was unchanged, but nobody liked it. Biggest marketing flop I can ever recall.

There is no WRONG WAY to eat oysters.Well, disliking oysters does bring character into the discussion.
Like the purple peanutbutter? Koogle's?
Dad grew up on a dairy, so when the korean draft numbers got too close he joined the navy, " I Have Had Enough of Mud!". Mom got him into yogurt, but it had to be heavily flavored, and got him to eat cheese too by only giving him smoked cheese. Tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, apples, lettuce, some people who harvested them get REAL picky about the stuff at the store.
I used to put Ketchup on my hamburgers for 50 years, but the last 10 years it's so sugared up I can't stand it. Now I use mustard instead. I tried to find Ketchup without sugar or very little sugar, even bought some at a health food store but it also tasted like corn syrup with red dye. I gave up.

I heard there is a nk17 rule for hotdogs. No Ketchup over 17 year s old. Anyway it's fine for many things just not hotdogs! They deserve mustard and maybe relish or hot sauce. I agree Ketchup is too sweet nowadays.
Mustard all my life on burgers and hotdogs, mayo on poultery, mustard very thinly on pork/ham, catsap mayo mustard melange on burgers is okay, but catsap or frysauce is for fried potatoes, and some chickenuggets.. Catsap is how dad spelled and pronounced it. Steak, and chickenbreast, gets butter-fried, no sauces. Lawreys often added before cooking
Ketchup has an interesting history. The first Catsup was a fish based sauce. It had many disgusting variations until evolved into its present condiment. I was recently in Europe on a river cruise for two weeks in France and I tried to never ask for ketchup. I almost made it but hamburger and french fries cause me to go get a little bottle that they put out because mostly Americans were on the boat. I put malt vinegar on my fish and chips and made it through the vacation without many condiments. Try mayo on your french fries that's what the Germans do.
Fry sauce, credited often to various owners or workers at utah arctic circle during ww2, but wiki disent support that particular part of the urban myth, and says its from a 1900 new orIeans recipe book. There was an a c in central oregon that local legend had it as the source for the sauce before ww2. Whatever, ketchap and mayo, with or without extras, has long been an acquired taste for fries. My brother put A1 sauce on his fries cos dad did. Dad also dipped his fries in wendys frostys
