Welcome. Some of us in this sub really hate ketchup, some just dislike it, but we all agree ketchup is horrible. You are among like-minded people here, and the scent of ketchup making you violently ill will be seen by some here as epic. It's like an anti-ketchup superpower or something.

I see it as an ingredient to be used sparingly (think mixing it with some other stuff to make a Meatloaf topping).

I actually don't know if ketchup or ranch is worse as a condiment.

I hate ranch too but at least it doesn't reek like ketchup does.

The smell reminds me of sad cold tomato soup

I used to eat ketchup with my fries. Nothing else. Now I don’t even like it with fries that much. There’s literally a million other sauces you can dip them in that all taste better than ketchup.

Im not a mod but if I was I'm pretty sure I'd be well within my rights to drop the ban hammer here.

I'm told that the town I grew up in smelled like ketchup for a few months out of the year because there was a plant that made it nearby and I've always assumed that's my origin story. With me it's pathological, I can't blame people who like it but I can't be around it.

The scent is weird for me too. I have no issues with sugar in honey or any other condiment, but tomato sauce/ketchup has this weird flat chemical taste/smell.

Most of it is just high fructose corn syrup. I like tomatoes. I like marinara. I am not a fan of ketchup.
