Not really. There's tomato paste, vinegar, water, salt, and a ton of high fructose corn syrup.Quote:

Must be jelly cause jam don't shake like that!

Tomatoes aren't fruit to me, NO NEVER. ;-; They will always be remembered as a vegetable.
Jelly has a clear consistency to it. Ketchup does not so it can't be jelly. Jelly also jiggles. Ketchup does not. It's more of a sauce, like apple. :cat:
We call it tomato sauce in my ass-kicking country. :cool:
If you hadn't noticed, there is this thing called the 'Tasman Sea'. Your on the wrong side of it.Quote:

Tomato Sauce
Tomato is not a fruit. It's (SPOILER)a human being.
Talking about weird fruits, did you know that the banana plant is a herb and the banana itself a berry? I now have an overwhelming desire to go buy some bananas...
Nice try. Bananas grow on trees.
