Ketchup

Hey, you.

Yeah, you.

I see you, eating those tomatoes.

Those crimson fruits bursting with juice

I see you, drenching it in Ranch or garnishing with salt...

But you know what I don't see?

Ketchup. Ever.

You despise the stuff.

It makes you cringe when in contact with your tongue.

Ketchup.

You do know what ketchup is made of...

Don't you?

Tomatoes. Lots and lots of it.

That thick, brick red paste.

I see you, tossing it in the nearby trash bin.

You despise ketchup. You're a sucker for tomatoes.

But isn't ketchup simply

...A tomato smoothie?
