dingdongrb Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 So in Lotus I noticed a person can buy a plastic squeeze bottle of Heinz ketchup for 137 THB and receive 567 grams. ......or spend 35 THB and receive 600 grams in a glass bottle. (NOTE: 35 THB is a sale price as it's regularly 46 THB.) The price one must pay for having the convenience of a squeeze bottle... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loaded Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 which one did you buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impulse Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Dollars to donuts the glass bottle was made locally and the squeeze bottle was imported. Which is fine as long as you like the Thai recipe, which may taste nothing like the imported stuff. Or it may. Such are the vagaries of adjusting to life overseas.

1FinickyOne Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 These do not look like the same product... But I have seen the same exact product priced higher for more quantity, making the smaller bag a less expensive bargain in comparison... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elektrified Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Spot on.....the one in the 1st picture is imported. And yes it tastes different. My kid can taste the difference immediately. The local variety is much sweeter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berkshire Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 You can buy the local Roza brand in the squeeze bottle for about a fourth the price of Heinz. But yes, it's tailored to the Thai taste bud...which is actually fine. The OP should try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Mega Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 (edited) Yeah not a fan of ketchup. Has anyone seen any proper tomato sauce anywhere ? Edited December 27, 2016 by Don Mega Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebluewater Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 The local stuff is crap, no? Looks almost orange coming out of the bottle. How they do it I do not know but Thai's will put that on their pizza. They will also use it as a base for bolognese sauces for pasta. UGH. It's one of the main reasons I stay away from Italian foods here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotrats Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 The one in the squeezy bottle is "tomato ketchup", imported.. The one in the glass bottle is"tomato sauce", locally made. Very different products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfokevin Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 (edited) Such is Thailand... One can go to Loy Kroh Rd and find any number of pretty ladies or wander up the street and find a much discounted model sauntering along the moat... Same Same...

fxe1200 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 More crazy pricing at Big-C EXTRA: The smallest pack of MOCONA instant coffee is cheaper per unit(gram), than any other bigger sized pack. Sometimes you can find tissue rolls 30 instead of 24, "get 20% more!" and the pack with 24 rolls is still cheaper per unit. Consumers tend to believe big packs are always cheaper. That is not always the case at Big-C EXTRA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shot Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 The imported version (real ketchup) has more vinegar/less sugar and or both. After using the Thai version for years, I can't say "I hate it" anymore. That said, I'm drinking Red Cup instant coffee right now. I'm afraid my tasted buds will never be the same.
