Question

I see all three on different labels. Are there differences?

Answer 1

All three actually i have heard of them. i think it depends on the brand b/c different brands uses different names!

Answer 2

The Heinz bottle says Ketchup.  Catchup is how it was spelled in Webster's Dictionary in the early 20th century.  Catsup is a variation of the word.  They're all the same.

Answer 3

I've only seen ketchup and catsup. there really is no wrong way it probably just depends on the brand and where u are located.

Answer 4

It doesn't matter how that particular word is spelled on the label, just as long as the product is from Heinz.   If they put flouride in the bottle I would brush my teeth with it!   The Best!
