Ketchup is a condiment that was conceived in Asia, adopted by the English, and emigrated to America. Today it is more prevalent, more popular, and arguably more American than apple pie. It’s in every restaurant, at every cookout, offered at every food stand.

But as Malcolm Gladwell stated in 2004, ketchup has a conundrum. Tomato has cornered the market. The “fregetable” (fruit + vegetable) has dominated a sauce whose base was meant to come from any fruit – all fruits! Because of this, we have denied our taste buds a world of wallop we didn’t even know existed.

“Don’t get us wrong, we love tomatoes. And we love and respect the tangy, well-rounded tomato flavor our predecessors have perfected for over a century. But we also believe in the equality of fruits — that your mouth has the right to enjoy multiple flavors of the amazing condiment that is ketchup. Where traditional tomato ketchup provides a general flavor enhancement to food, ‘Chups fruit ketchups provide the same texture and zip, with new, exciting flavors and ingredients. Find your favorite and your taste buds will thank you.”

“Being sick can be really lonely. One major reason is because most people don’t know what to say, so they disappear, or say the wrong thing entirely. And as a friend, it IS hard to know what to say. I created Empathy Cards because I believe we need some better, more authentic ways to communicate about illness and suffering. 

My goal for this collection is to help people connect with each other through truth, and to help people with illness feel seen and understood. I think these are the most important things I’ve designed so far, and they’re some of my favorites.”
