Heinz Red Zone?

[Medications]

Did anyone notice last night that Heinz has apparently sponsored our red zone? So it's now the Heinz Red Zone which is what the Steelers call theirs in Pittsburgh. Apparently that's how it's gonna be all year.

I guess Heinz makes some sort of donation to some charity whenever we get in the red zone, so I guess complaining would just made us sounds like jerks, but it still sucks that we have that association with the Steelers now

If I'm not mistaken it's been called that for a while.

[BirdWatcher]

They bought the naming rights from the NFL last year. It's called that all across the league.

[izvoodoo]

I can't even eat ketchup anymore.

[BohBalmerOsbohs]

hunts

[jus'_crAzy]

Booo ketchup. Nothing but Old Bay or Gulden's mustard.

[Medications]

Oh ok, not as bad as I thought then if it's across the whole league, and it's good for the charity I guess. I'll still think of the Steelers every time I hear "Heinz Red Zone“

Yeah, charity or not, I hate it. Honestly, I don't think they should be allowed to call it "Heinz Red Zone" seeing as the Steelers play at "Heinz Field". They should have had to choose a different name, then they could have said "sponsored by".

[K-Dog]

But sadly there is no better ketchup than Hinez

Actually Wegmans store brand tastes the same to the ketchup lovers in my house lol

[K-Dog]

I might have to try it.
On principal alone.

If the Wegmans near me would HURRY UP AND OPEN! !!

Thats why we did lol Same shaped bottle too--one of the kids grabbed it when we were shopping and the bottle was almost gone until someone realized the error

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][i]Have we really been reduced to talking about ketchup? And here I thought the off-season was bad.[/i][/font]

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][i]I think that's my cue to go to bed.[/i][/font]

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][i]It's because of my signature, isn't it?... Is it all my fault?...[/i][/font]

When it comes to bargain grocery shopping I'm the Queen lol-- I have seen people throw Heinz products away at tailgate--I'm for saving money to pay or my purple margaritas at the stadium--and they have been green this year

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][i]Just steal a bunch of ketchup packets from fast food places. Same with the mustard, tartar sauce, relish and mayo. If you can find the ones with the malt vinegar, get some of them too.[/i][/font]

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][i]And maybe the margaritas aren't green, you're just so intoxicated they look green. [/i][/font]

Actually I don't drink that much--hangovers beginning in the 3rd quarter suck lol ( I figured this out in 1999)--I just like margaritas--too much work for my kids on those packages they drink the stuff,

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][i]Try living next to a major airport in Florida with a hangover. Didn't know which was worse, the sun... the heat... or the roar of the planes every five minutes. You'd think I'd learn after the first few times, nope... took me nine months to figure it out.[/i][/font]

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][i]Then again, I think 10s of thousands of fans all screaming might top that... ugh, makes my head hurt just thinking about it.[/i][/font]

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][i]I like putting the ketchup packets under the toilet seat in the restaurant bathrooms...[/i][/font]

[bMore Heathen]

We are a Hunts family. I won't even use heinz in restaurants. Would rather go without!!

[EricH]

Heinz is also the official ketchup of M&T stadium if I am correct.

You would be suprised!

[SteelerStorm]

Can we have some Steelers love every now and then....haha. Really, Whats wrong with a little association with a great team That plays football the way the it's suppose to be played. Baltimore plays football the way its suppose to be played. If they had M&T Written anywhere on Heinz field i would't be upset. Now if it was Cleveland, or Cinci...I would be fuming.

[Medications]

I thoroughly enjoy disliking the Steelers it is one of my favorite hobbies

[PSU RAVEN]

I like Heinz and unless they change their colors to black and yellow I will remain a customer. Heck M&T is based out of Buffalo

I have to agree with this guy. If not for the Sqeelers, who would we love to hate. We need them to have the greatest rivalry in football. Iron hones iron. If our toughest division rival were the Browns we would be pretty soft. Right?


Sadly, I am a Heinz ketchup man myself. Can't stand Hunts or any of those off brands.

I'll be honest here. I love watching the Steelers play football. I love good ol' fashioned, physical, AFC North, smash mouth football. I just like the Ravens brand a lot more than the Steelers brand.
