Rebecca 0 #4 September 28, 2004 Theresa HEINZ Kerry. Heinz ketchup is the most popular ketchup brand in the US. She owns it Her name is on every bottle, and he's married to her. I'd say that makes it seem a bit supportive. Better, Kallend? (I knew she doesn't actually own it, I was just being overly simple about it - my bad) you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

PhillyKev 0 #6 September 28, 2004 She's not even a principle share holder (meaning she owns less than 5% of the shares). But feel free to get some W Ketchup for your freedom fries if it makes you feel better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My favorite bit of brand-name recognition associated with the White House was a former president, who said "I'm a Ford, not a Lincoln." IIRC, I blew soda out my nose when he said that.

Anyone trying to make political points from it is . OHhhhhh, I get it. No, I don't believe Mrs. Theresa Heinz Kerry has any involvement with the management of Heinz the company. I do believe that her maiden first married name is on every bottle of Ketchup and other condiments that Heinz the company sells, which, considering the sad state of average American intelligence and common sense, and with W Ketchup as proof, could lead to a lot of people to 1.) believe that she is involved with, and using funds gained from the company to support her husband, and 2.) make a big, stinkin', seriously ill-informed political point out of it. And since I never claimed to be well-informed, where did she get her wealth? Seriously, I don't know exactly. And now I do, thanks to Wendy. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,534 #22 September 28, 2004 Quotewhere did she get her wealth? Seriously, I don't know exactly It's actually her first married name, and it did come from the Heinz companies. However, as a wife, she's not a major player. The kids probably also have some stock (being adults), and I have no idea if any of the kids have any "hereditary" involvement in the company. Probably not -- the company has been around an awfully long time, and I don't remember hearing about dynasties the way I do about Ford and the USA Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
