Side note: was also the first person (to my food knowledge) to make his factory to have electricity and also he was the first man to push the USDA through Teddy Roosevelt. Because of all the dangerous ketchups people were making, thus food safety, we're glad that this man is into health concerns back in that day.
I'm the great great grandson of the guy who founded Vlasic Pickles. I only found that out because I came back from a vacation to Pennsylvania wearing a Heinz T Shirt. My mother was looking at me like, "Uhhhh you don't know what you're doing by wearing that shirt."
Heinz was the long-time ketchup partner for McDonald's, in fact ever since the 1960s when McDonald's was incorporated into a national chain, but then when they were bought by Berkshire Hathaway, the parent of Burger King, that made Heinz ketchup a Burger King exclusive and McDonald's switched to their own in-house "fancy ketchup".
Heinz ketchup is not a Burger King exclusive and never was. What did happen was many restaurants asking why they should keep buying Heinz anything when they were also a direct competitor. Ordering Heinz ketchup or mayo or anything was highly competitive sales data going right back to the owners of BK. 3G had to go to great lengths to promise data security and isolation from the BK side but even so, many of their customers are still unhappy about this. The rest look at the shambles BK is in and don't worry about it. BK has issues so big, knowing how much ketchup is sold to whom is not going to help them at all. And it hasn't.
Haven’t gotten ketchup from mcd’s in a while, never knew Heinz was out of there lol. I remember the days of pumping the Heinz out into those little cups
You gotta give Heinz credit for their promotional merchandising - the pickle pins at the chicago world’s fair would go on to establish merchandise and promotion as one of the key modern aspects of corporate marketing
As a Pittsburgher, I gotta say it was disappointing that Pittsburgh was only mentioned once. Despite all the mergers and such, Heinz is still iconic here. Using Hunt's ketchup is an easy way to lose friends around here (not really, but kinda...). Plus the logo/label is a keystone, representing Pennsylvania, the Keystone State.
Back when I was a kid, I thought Heinz and the Pennsylvania Railroad were somehow connected, because they both had keystones for logos. The fact that Heinz did have quite a number of freight cars, including pickle vat cars and wood tank cars lined with glass to carry vinegar that would eat through steel tanks, and the Heinz keystone was on those cars, made it a little more confusing to six year old me.
One of the things I think you missed was that Heinz is the largest producer of vinegar in the US. They originally produced it for their condiments production but then they saw that they could make money selling to it other companies and to the public.
Joe Dimaggio once said that if he had hit one more home run when he finished his 56 game hitting streak the Heinz company would've paid him $10,000. Pretty good money for 1941.
Tasting History with Max Miller has a really awesome episode on UA-cam about the history of ketchup and Heinz. Apparently, ketchup, then called catsup, was from Asia and there was no standard idea of what ketchup really should be but popular versions were white and fish based. Heinz was unique in its spelling the sauce with a K instead of a C and it being a red sauce instead of a white one. As the video mentions, Heinz's use of glass bottles and the number 57 were also amazing marketing strategies.
From my understanding there were actually both in production by Heinz at one point (source: Heinz history museum). They’re just different condiments all together.
You should do a video on another Pittsburgh company, American Eagle. Really successful in a hard retail clothing market. Commonly known as "The best looking house in the worst neighborhood."
They also started screwing over their tomato farmers. They're an extremely extremely scummy company and I personally won't ever give them a cent of my money again.
Kraft is killing Heinz. Heinz had brand loyal customers especially in the Appalachian region. They moved the jobs quality of their products is down and now people, especially in that region, hate Heinz. F Heinz.
It is an interesting change of tune to see the DOJ forbid the merger of Heinz with another tuna company which would have created a stronger #2 challenge to the #1 company to later allowing Heinz and Kraft, two giants, to combine.
They’ve really taken their foot off the gas WRT antitrust elements. See also how they’re happy to have a quadopoly in meat packing today, even though the legislation they’re not using was passed when it was far less monopolised. The recent T-mobile merger comes to mind as well.
@@samanthab1923 If you mean their quality, then they definitely are a lessor company. It's sad that Heinz signed their good nature away after the original family members died. It seems honesty in business is always short lived.
I hope they don’t make you wait too long to load and unload at the warehouses. I hope they’re just a PITA about appointment scheduling or something like that. I mean they all suck but… yk. Waiting around unpaid sucks worse.
really nice! I grew up only a couple blocks away from the factory on the North Side of Pittsburgh. my grandmother worked there during WW2 on the packaging line. thank you so much for highlighting Heinz and making this video.
As a grocery manager who deals with these products on a daily basis, I value your videos so much and love to learn from them. Keep doing grocery related videos!
As a brit... Heinz means beans... and ketchup of course... but they have started marketing pasta sauce under their own name recently its interesting to find out they have owned pasta sauce brands for a while too!
For decades Heinz got most of their tomatoes from an area around a small town in Canada that grew the very best tomatoes. They also build a factory in that town for the Canadian market. Up until 1970 they had the same recipe but changed it and started to buy tomatoes from many regions to meet the demand. A few years ago they closed the Canadian factory and also stopped importing the tomatoes. Both the farmers and workers were devastated. Some local entrepreneur got a brilliant idea. Why not supply all the different Supermarket chains with original tomatoes using the original recipe. Bingo! Everyone's a winner. The workers have their jobs, the farmers their farms both can expect a steady growth and I can get the true original Heinz at a fraction of the cost :-)
That factory, in Leamington, ON, is now owned by a company called Highbury Canco, and Kraft-Heinz is actually one of their customers. But their biggest customer is French's, now a division of McCormick's.
Yes Leamington Ontario outside of Windsor Ontario. It's true the town was centered around this factory and most of rural area around was all Tomato growers. I was working in that town a few years back when it was still Heinz. Good to read they came up with a solution to keep on going
My family always used "Pride of the Farm" brand ketchup, which later became Hunt's and I've always preferred it to Heinz. However, due to the shipping problems and shortages of the last few years, we ended up with a bottle of French's ketchup, which is my new favorite. I wasn't even aware it existed and now it's my preferred ketchup.
I do find it interesting that the cost cutting extends to the football stadium naming rights since the Pittsburgh STEELERS stadium used to be called Heinz Field but not anymore which is stunning to me since it’s been called Heinz field since it was constructed a couple decades ago.
I lowkey expected that to be the Beanz Meanz Heinz campaign being invented, in the show, just like they did with “it’s toasted”. Was surprised to find out that was UK only. Megan’s bean campaign was a nice ad, but “some things never change” is definitely a worse tagline than Beanz Meanz Heinz!
@@SeekingTheLoveThatGodMeans7648 it was a very private school. I was there on scholarship. My only friend was the other poor scholarship kid on campus. They picked us up in a van because the school was too small for busses. I got to know him pretty well.
@@sly-fi6502 if dad didn’t buy you a new sports car when you got your drivers license you weren’t part of the club. The other poor kid who was there on scholarship is still my best friend today. I’d take him over the whiny Heinz kid any day.
I’ve always associated Heinz with ketchup, but I’ve known that they make other products, like beans, vinegar, and Ore-Ida products among others. I have their vinegar in my house. I’d like to see you make a ‘Bigger Than You Know’ video about Honda as they make more than just cars.
I'm a bit of a ketchup aficionado since I put the stuff on all sorts of foods (even salad), so my friends reached out to me to tell me about that "Heinz Ketchup Biggest Fan" contest a few years back. Now, I do love ketchup but I'm not as hardcore of a Heinz brand as most people who were in the contest. Like, some people had full out Sleeve Tattoos dedicated to Heinz Ketchup, pickles and their other condiments. Some people made videos of them putting ketchup on ice cream and other odd combinations. One guy used it as tooth paste hahaha It was pretty wild and was a good marketing ploy for them.
growing up within smelling range of one of Heinz's pickle plants, I've always associated them with pickles. Found out later than the local Heinz plant also does vinegar, mustard and Jack Daniels BBQ sauce. I did not know about Heinz having made StarKist or 9 Lives. Baby food I knew about from stocking shelves in a grocery store (although Gerber by far was a better seller.) I knew about Boston Market but not TGIFriday, Weight Watchers or Ore-Idea being Heinz companies.
I can relate to the comfort odor of a Heinz product; I spent one summer living in Tracy, CA while their ketchup factory just outside of town was still open. I knew when I was close to home when I could smell ketchup in the air!
Because Heinz and Kraft didn't overlap in business. Kraft was basically Cheese and Lunch meat. Heinz was pickles and Condiments. Together they make a great sandwich!
8:54 And of course back then Weight Watchers didn't say squat about how much carbs and sugars was in the packaging, as we know today that is what's adding layer onto your frame more than anything.
When you said "bigger than you know" I predicted them owning Orida, just because I remember there being an ad campaign where they were marketed as going well together (like, Orida fries were the only fries strong enough for thick Heinz Ketchup and Heinz Ketchup was the only ketchup that wouldn't make your fries soggy).
LG is another biggie. Did you know that, besides appliances and electronics, they have a whole division dedicated to health, beauty, and home products? Fruits & Passion, The Face Shop, Perioe, Homestar, and Avon are some of their brands.
Finally 1 o’clock (1300)! I was sitting at my table this morning and saw it was 947 am. I was like hmm only 3 hours and 13 minutes until Company Man blesses us with another great video! I am a huge fan of the channel and have been since 900k subscribers. Love your work, please keep it up! I’ll keep watching and waiting!
heinz had a product here in the uk that at least to me growing up was iconic, Toast Toppers, a little metal tube filled with a ham and cheesy sauce intended to you know top toast, yummy😋
@@noahthenormal people certainly do put ham or sausage with their cheese on toast. But cheese on toast itself is more of a British thing, in the USA it’s more likely to be a grilled cheese. Which isn’t so conducive to toppings since that’s a closed sandwich, whereas cheese on toast is an open sandwich.
Heinz's core products that is popular in the uk: Ketchup (Low salt, regular, organic) Mayo (vegan, regular, light) Salad Cream (Regular, Vegan) Soup (Cream of; Tomato, tomato and basil, chicken, mushroom; minestrone and all of them in regular, low salt and light.) British Baked Beans (with sausages, light, low salt) Spaghetti Hoops, Strands and shapes.
Note; I didn't include seperate brands like weight watchers and tgi fridays which are also sold in the uk, but are much less popular than the original core products.
Okay...I was an impressionable 5th grader when in the Rugrats spinoff, All Grown Up!, Dylan "Dil" Pickles drank Ketchup as a 9 year old. I can confirm, that at least in Michigan in 2005, Heinz made the best brand of ketchup to drink.
You won't unsee this when I point it out- The labels are in the shapes of keystones, because Heinz is based in Pennsylvania, which is the Keystone State.
You've completely missed the introduction of its beans to Fortnums. That created the beans ubiquitous placement that survives to this day. Fortnum & Mason.
Ask YT Creator WallieB26 (he's from Pittsburgh). He just foreplays with his SO in videos because he wouldn't find Heinz ketchup in a(n open) fast food restaurant.
I'm surprised some think their lacking in product creativity. My opinion is the opposite. I live the wide variety of combo sauces they created, like bufflo and ranch in one. Also and mayo and ketchup mixed together in one is another of my favorites. I am buying these all the time. They also have several other 2 in 1 condiments. That is excellent concept ingenuity in my opinion.

I just had a classico sauce for dinner tonight. Had no idea it is owned by Kraft now...
Great video! I learned more than I thought I would.
So... this isn't a video about Doofenshmirtz? (In all seriousness, awesome video dude as always!)
I was hoping there would be some reference of him when i clicked this video 😂
Doesn’t Heinz own like 90% of all ketchup packet manufacturing in the world? 😂
Just as we should.
Heinz produces 0% of the world's catsup supply.

Heinz's core products that is popular in the uk:
Ketchup (Low salt, regular, organic)
Mayo (vegan, regular, light)
Salad Cream (Regular, Vegan)
Soup (Cream of; Tomato, tomato and basil, chicken, mushroom; minestrone and all of them in regular, low salt and light.)
British Baked Beans (with sausages, light, low salt)
Spaghetti Hoops, Strands and shapes.
Note; I didn't include seperate brands like weight watchers and tgi fridays which are also sold in the uk, but are much less popular than the original core products.
Another good topic to explore would be Oberto and Hormel company. They both have huge operations within the delivery and processed meats industry
This is going to be good. There's more to Heinz than just it's ketchup!
*its.
@@eadweard. Loser.
Yeah, like their history of screwing over Canadian farmers and being absolute twats.
Hello, please explore the Farley’s candy company, many don’t know about.
You can't beat Heinz Ketchup. It's a classic.
Edit: I just like the ketchup reply peeps. It ain't that deep
This is just a slogan. It's no different to any other brand.
Felix better
@@eadweard. bs, Heinz is the best and it’s not even close
@@thrasherx2k1 You're right that it's not even close: it's not even not even close. There is in fact no difference whatsoever.
Nah, in my country, only urbanites can access a Heinz ketchup
Okay...I was an impressionable 5th grader when in the Rugrats spinoff, All Grown Up!, Dylan "Dil" Pickles drank Ketchup as a 9 year old. I can confirm, that at least in Michigan in 2005, Heinz made the best brand of ketchup to drink.
You won't unsee this when I point it out-
The labels are in the shapes of keystones, because Heinz is based in Pennsylvania, which is the Keystone State.
Nothing compares
The Heinz museum in Pittsburgh is really cool
Bring your Heinz Mayo back. Haven't seen it at my local supermarket in months. Kraft Real Mayo just isn't the same.
interesting POV about Heniz for me it's one of the best, & of course iconic ketchup brands.
I'd love to see a video about Tabasco, it seems like a very interesting company
The Heinz History Center in Pittsburgh is an excellent place to learn even more about the company and it's multitude of products
You've completely missed the introduction of its beans to Fortnums. That created the beans ubiquitous placement that survives to this day. Fortnum & Mason.
GREAT video! The J.R. Simplot Company next PLEASE!!!! ORE-IDA comes into play there. Along with McDonalds Corp!
Heinz.. Headquartered in my hometown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Growing up in Philadelphia theyd never let you hear the end of Heinz
Ask YT Creator WallieB26 (he's from Pittsburgh). He just foreplays with his SO in videos because he wouldn't find Heinz ketchup in a(n open) fast food restaurant.
I didn't know all of this so I learned something new :)
I would find it interesting if you would do your top 10 for say, longevity, wealth, or global spread.
I'm surprised some think their lacking in product creativity. My opinion is the opposite. I live the wide variety of combo sauces they created, like bufflo and ranch in one. Also and mayo and ketchup mixed together in one is another of my favorites. I am buying these all the time. They also have several other 2 in 1 condiments. That is excellent concept ingenuity in my opinion.
This is brilliant, but I like this *LeoVader’s Ketchup video*
Heinz is cool and all but I'm really looking forward to the video on Acrisure.
Your videos 😃 are always good 😊
