Now it's time to 'ketchup' on the details.

The brand caused a major stir on social media when it recently Tweeted this:

They then followed up the original tweet with a poll to see who is actually storing their ketchup in the correct way and who is putting it back in the cupboard.
At the time of publishing, the poll revealed that the results are much closer than you would think:
Where do you keep yours? It has to be… in the fridge!
