H.J. Heinz has been making their products in their north side factory since 1869. Their staple products are their trademark pickles and their world-famous ketchup. Of all the Pittsburgh products that have made their way across the globe, Heinz ketchup may be the most recognizable of them all. You could be stranded on a mountaintop in Norway, in a raging blizzard, miles from civilization, and take refuge in a Red Cross cabin. Open the cabinet and what will you find? ... Heinz ketchup from Pittsburgh! That's a true story.

For years Heinz Ketchup has captivated the population with anticipation, or could it be called frustration, as they wait patiently for the slow running sauce to escape from the bottle. The company's 1970s jingle "Anticipation" was voted the best advertisement of the century. It was so good that the company could basically scrap their advertising budget because the world was already brimming with anticipation for the best ketchup on the planet.
