Forget everything you thought you knew about the red bottle in your fridge — most German ketchups are sugar bombs in disguise.

Along the way you'll learn which mid-range classics like Develey, Thomy and Heinz are actually worth your money, and why Hela's curry cult status is fully deserved. By the end, you'll never grab a ketchup bottle the same way again.
