Malcolm Gladwell wrote a fascinating article about Ketchup in the New Yorker last summer. You can read it on his website:

Scroll down to the "The Ketchup Conundrum"

A bunch of professional taste experts basically agreed that Heinz was perfect.

Even though this thread was meant as a goof on the multi-round mega-polls that I'm really starting to hate here on OOT, I found the article very interesting. Thanks.

"Multi-round" polls did not originate here at 2+2. At another site I visit, all polls were banned once these type started getting out of hand.

He is a great writer, and always manages to find fascinating and original material.

If you liked the article, you should check out his new book, "Blink." I'd say it's the best nonfiction that I've read in a long time, maybe ever.

The Tipping Point = overrated like wow. A solid book, fairly interesting, but it's not freaking Newtonian physics.

I liked the Tipping Point alot. But it's safe to say that Blink is better.
