I am currently filming a low-budget horror movie in which ketchup is used liberally as blood. The problem is that the consistency of ketchup is too recognizable, even on a relatively small screen. I have tried watering it down, but lumps and chunks ruin the look.
Perhaps one of the many different international varieties in your collection would yield better results? I would like to test each packet of your collection, and perhaps import a moderate quantity of the most realistic product for use in my movie. A "special thanks" credit would be offered to you as a contributor, of course.
Have you had experience with any of these ketchups? I hope to find one that realistically duplicates the kind of blood spatter that might be created during a severe beating administered by a broom handle....

I think the decorative box with ducks on it really pulls the whole thing together.

I'd buy the ketchup just for the box with ducks on it....what a find!

I'm the founder and director of an annual sausage festival in Monksville, Utah called "Wieners of the World." Every year our participants eat sausages made in over 40 countries and one of the prominent complaints is that we don't have enough variety in our condiments.
Put 'frank'ly, people are sick of the same old Heinz ketchup, yellow mustard, and sauerkraut we normally provide.
I think you could definitely help us. Your collection would add some much needed variety to our festival and if you donate it, we could fly you out to be our guest of honor (usually called the 'Wiener King') at this year's event.
One question: our festival usually has approximately 3,000 attendees. Can you get more of these packets?

This may be kind of dumb, but oh well.
Convince the person that you are fluent in korean and are positive that the translation on the front of the korean one is not in fact ketchup at all.
Persuade the person to open it and take a picture to prove it. at that point, tell them you are no longer interested as you are only interested in unopened ketchup packets from around the world.

also, you look asian and have an asian last name, so i feel this is enough verification that you do in fact know korean. White people will believe this no matter what out of fear of being racist, and lets be honest here, only a white person would collect ketchup packets from around the world.

Hello! My name is Stanislav Vladic, and I own a cetchup factory in Romania. Well, it has not always been a cetchup factory, you see, my lifelong dream has been to produce and sell brooms. As you americans very well know, the broom business can be quite a prosperous one, but alas, at what cost? The broom related accidents in our factory where too much for me to handle.. After an tragic accident the other week involving a toaster and a broom where one of our workers lost both his arms (the great burn that changed his life forever) I decided to shut the factory down, and convert it to a cetchup factory. Since then I have been searching for a quite unique taste for our special exclusive "Stanislav Vladic Cetchup inc", but still haven't found anything. This is where you come in. I would very much like to purchase the cetchups you own, and combine the tastes to make a new one. You will of course be very well compensated. It's just that I need a variety of tastes to combine and I've never before seen such a wide collection. Please reply as soon as possible, so the arrangements can be made. Note that from now on you will communicate with my secretary, factory co-founder, and girlfriend Sarah, Best Regards, Stanislav Vladic

To whom it may concern,
I am a catsup curator for Catsup Afficianado magazine. While I am sure that your familiarity with tomato pastes may make you wonder what a catsup curator would want from ketchup, but Catsup Afficianado magazine is looking to broaden its horizons. In today's economy, not many people are willing to subscribe to a niche magazine focusing solely on catsup. For Catsup Afficianado's first magazine featuring ketchup, your collection would be most suitable.
I do have some questions about your collection. Do you know the vintage of your packets? Just like wine, some tomato crops yield more flavorful ketchups than others. Also, how did you store the packets? As you indicated they were in a duck box, but what else about them. Have they been exposed to extreme heat/cold? Temperature can affect the color, flavor, and texture of a ketchup. I remember one time I left some UFC banana catsup in my uncle's broom factory over one summer, where temperatures inside sometimes cleared 100 degrees fahrenheit. Long story short, the catsup was a dark maroon color by summer's end and an abnormally soft texture. I gave it a 4 out of 7 because it's tough to go wrong with banana catsup.
Anyhow, enough shop talk. If I end up using your sampling of ketchups for our article, I will give you a two and a half year subscription to Catsup Afficianado magazine.
I hope to hear from you soon, Jessup McCaffery
P.S. Do you happen to have any ketchup from Luxembourg before 1996? It used to be the ketchup mecca before the great tomato famine of '96. I know some collectors who would pay serious money if you happened to have some.
