Does Ketchup Belong in the Fridge? Heinz Just Weighed In
People online can't agree on where to store open bottles of ketchup. Do you keep yours in the fridge or leave it out at room temperature?
Heinz's U.K. division started a Twitter poll to see where people stand. Last we checked, only 55% said they refrigerated their ketchup. But that's mainly Brits voting. It's not clear if that holds true here too.
Some people apparently hate COLD ketchup. And the main argument for not refrigerating is restaurants just leave it sitting out. So do you really have to?
The ketchup at restaurants gets used up pretty fast though. So it's probably not sitting out for months on end. And according to Heinz, your fridge IS the best place for it.
Heinz UK posted on Twitter and said, "FYI: Ketchup goes in the FRIDGE!!" A spokesperson for Heinz added that is the "best way to maintain" its taste.

Is Chocolate the Secret to Beating Jetlag?
I don't even care if this hack works. I might just do it the next time I fly anyway: A new study found the secret to beating jetlag might be . . . CHOCOLATE.
Qantas is adding a new 20-hour long-haul flight from Sydney to New York in 2025. So they partnered with the University of Sydney to figure out how people can avoid jetlag.
23 volunteers wore monitors during simulated flights, so researchers could see if things like lighting scenarios and different menu options helped.
They found that when people ate chocolate during their flight, they tended to sleep better on the plane . . . had fewer issues with jetlag after the flight . . . and also performed better on cognitive tests.
They think it might be because comfort foods like chocolate can make your body produce more tryptophan . . . the same stuff turkey is famous for.
It's just one study, so take it with a grain of salt. But try it on your next flight. It could help.
