If Heinz had introduced a squirty Shit Brown option, I'd have been all over it.

I don't think there were any brown Skittles, either. Unacceptable!

Maybe Nutella should make a squeezy bottle?

Our kids were just the right age (and Shrek fans) for us to try to green ketchup. There's something very visual about food and even though your brain said "it tastes like ketchup" my eyes said... "it's green." My the time it disappeared from shelves, my kids were over Shrek... and colored ketchup.

So much has changes in the last decade plus related to food dyes. I think we could get the occasional fast food tie-in or something like it, but I think we were lucky to live through this oddness.

Dude! Totally forgot about that Matt LeBlanc Heinz commercial with his behind-the-back catch. Amazing.

I forgot about this stuff. In Canada we had coloured bread around the same time too.

Cannot stand “Forrest Gump”. Forced nostalgia for events I’m not particularly nostalgic about, and not understand what was REALLY cool about those decades; a “love” story where his love interest treats him like crap; annoying main character.

I never had any issues with the film. I liked the silly gimmick when it came out, but can't say I watch it much. The only part that really bugged me was the relationship. I found it challenging on my first viewing and very difficult to take on any rewatch.

I want to know how he didn’t get HIV and how his son wasn’t sick either.

Well.... isn't that MOST love stories? You gotta keep the tension/comedy up for the whole film and then at the end you realize this person you've hated all along is THE ONE!

Hmmmm.... I wonder why divorce hovers around 50%....

It was a weird choice because they made me actively root against them getting together. When it finally "happened," I wanted to boo.
