Found on the Folly - Condiments of the Folly - Did you know Heintz Tomato Ketchup is to be discontinued in South Africa?

Today I am sharing info about a bottle that I found on the Folly last year.

This is an old HEINTZ TOMATO KETCHUP bottle


When I was doing research I found that HEINZ TOMATO KETCHUP is to be discontinued in South Africa.  The licence for South African distribution expired at the end of May 2020.

It's a pity, I love HEINTZ and my husband loves ALL GOLD ..... he is going to be sooo happy!


HEINTZ TOMATO KETCHUP bottle, circa (not sure could be from 1945)

Bottom of Bottle:  UNION GLASS COMPANY, TALANA

The octagon shaped bottles where introduced in the 1940's

So stock up I'm going to!
