It can be really confusing to walk through the aisles of our favorite grocery shop and figure out what food items require refrigeration and what doesn’t.
It is reasonable to believe that if a product isn’t refrigerated in stores, it also doesn’t need to be at home. That isn’t always the case, though.
A modest word in fine type can be found on the labels of many products on grocery store shelves if we look closely: “refrigerate after opening.” Sadly, not everyone takes note of this small directive, and even those who do sometimes decide to disregard it. Ketchup is an excellent illustration of this.
The popular ketchup brand, Heinz, actually advises chilling their product as soon as you bring it inside. You may be asking yourself, “But why does ketchup need to be refrigerated when I see bottles of it sitting on the store shelves?” Heinz wants you to know that it’s all for the best, though.
This ketchup conundrum intrigued me, so I decided to look into it directly. I grabbed a bottle of Heinz ketchup from my own kitchen and read the label carefully. And there it was—the warning to “For best results, refrigerate after opening”—subtly printed in small text on the label on the reverse. Thus, the recommendation is clear: refrigeration is advised.
Were you aware that Heinz addressed this issue on Twitter as well? The message on their short tweet said, “FYI: Ketchup goes in the fridge!!!” This tweet grabbed the attention of people all over social media and started a heated debate among ketchup lovers.
Heinz even went so far as to survey people about how they keep their ketchup in storage at home. The outcomes were really intriguing. Of all the people who use ketchup, 36.8% keep it in a cabinet and 63.2% keep it in the refrigerator.
It’s intriguing to learn the motivations behind some people’s decisions to disregard refrigeration recommendations. They contend that ketchup tastes good even when kept at room temperature and that it doesn’t spoil readily. The good news is that you can keep your ketchup fresher for longer by refrigerating it, which will increase its shelf life.
Thus, keep in mind what Heinz suggests if you’re still not sure if you should refrigerate your ketchup. And why not follow the rest of us and store that bottle of ketchup in the refrigerator, nice and cold? It’s a simple method to guarantee that your favorite condiment remains flavorful and fresh.

Elon Musk Quietly Welcomed Baby No. 12, His Third with Neuralink Corp.’s Shivon Zilis, Earlier This Year
“Our relatives and friends are all aware. Regarding the arrival of his newest child, Musk stated, “‘Secret’ does not mean failure to issue a press release, which would be bizarre.”
Elon Musk just had a new child.
Earlier this year, the 52-year-old founder of Tesla secretly welcomed Shivon Zilis, the director of special projects at Neuralink Corp., into his family.
To Page Six, Musk affirmed the information. Regarding “secretly fathered,” it is likewise untrue,” he provided a statement to the publication. “Our family and friends are all aware.”
“It is not a secret if a press release is not issued, which would be strange,” the X Corp. owner continued.
As of right now, Musk’s youngest child’s gender and name are unknown.
Musk and his associates make an effort to keep their kids’ lives private.
Grimes, the mother of three of Musk’s children, posted a long message on X (previously Twitter) in September 2023 asking for privacy for her and the three children.
She also spoke about the current press that has focused on her co-parenting arrangement with the CEO of Tesla and the information that they secretly welcomed a third child, a son named Techno, not long after Musk welcomed his children with Zilis.
“Hey, I want to de-escalate the narrative at the moment, but I would prefer not to breathe any more life into this current press cycle,” the artist said.
Grimes went on, “I spoke with Shivon at length finally, which was long overdue,” in response to Zilis’ remarks.
She pleaded with supporters, saying that Zilis wasn’t to blame for their situation and urged them not to be upset with her. We are eager to become friends and raise the children together because we greatly appreciate one another.
In 2002, Musk and his first wife, Justine Wilson, welcomed their first child, a son named Nevada Alexander. At ten weeks old, the infant passed away from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
Wilson then used IVF to create twins Vivian Jenna and Griffin in 2004, and in 2006, triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian were born.
In May 2020, X Æ A-Xii, Musk and Grimes’ first child together, was born.
Then, in November 2021, he discreetly welcomed the twins, Azure and Strider, with Zilis. A year later, Grimes told Vanity Fair that she and Musk received a daughter, Exa Dark Siderael, via surrogate in December 2021.
The tech titan’s third child with Grimes, a son named Techno Mechanicus, also known as “Tau,” was born, as reported in journalist Walter Isaacson’s 2023 biography of Musk. This was the first announcement of the birth of Musk’s youngest child.
