I was both befuddled and amused by the fact that Heinz had decided to go the Limited Ed. route. I soon realized that the talking ketchup bottles didn't actually talk. They just had quotes about ketchup from different celebrities on them. Heinz is also donating a portion of the sales of these Limited Ed. bottles to charities such as the Mia Hamm Foundation, The Nerine Shatner Foundation, The Mel Blount Youth Home of Pennsylvania and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Here are some of the quotes from the Celebrity Talking Ketchup bottles:
-- Olympic soccer gold-medal winner Mia Hamm - just back from Athens and the 2004 Summer Olympics - proclaimed that it's "Worthy of Gold."After discoving this I decided to look for other Limited Ed. ketchup stuff. First I found out that along with the Limited Ed. Celebrity Talking Label Ketchup bottles, Heinz and Swarovski Crystals designed and auctioned off jewel-encrusted versions of the Celebrity Talking Label Ketchup bottles at Sotheby's for charity:
-- William Shatner, known for his role as Captain Kirk on "Star Trek" and a 2004 Emmy Award winner for his role on "The Practice," announced that Heinz Ketchup "Fixes Burgers at Warp Speed."
-- NFL Hall of Fame quarterback and TV commentator Terry Bradshaw, revealed that Heinz Ketchup was "Served at the Immaculate Reception" - a nod to Bradshaw's 1972 pass to Pittsburgh Steelers teammate Franco Harris - in what NFL Films has dubbed the "greatest play in NFL history."
-- Lindsay Lohan, a young and popular actress admired by teens, summed up her opinion in just one word: "Burger-licious."
Truly delicious. But what Limited Ed. ketchup roundup spectacular would be complete with a set of balls?! Baseballs! To be exact, a Limited Ed. Heinz 6 Piece Collectible Baseball Set by Anaconda Sports:
All this talk of ketchup is making me hungry. It makes me want to go get a big fat scoop of ice cream... and put some ketchup on top! Sweet!
