McDonald’s Drops Heinz After Ketchup Company Hires Ex-Burger King Executive
The sign is officially hanging outside the McDonald’s treehouse club headquarters: “No Burger Kings Allowed.” There will be no more Heinz ketchup at the Golden Arches, after a former Burger King executive signed on to run H.J. Heinz Co.
Now that former Burger King Worldwide CEO Bernardo Hees made the move to run Heinz, McDonald’s wants nothing to do with the company’s condiment. Hees is also the vice chairman of the board of BK, after all, reports the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
“As a result of recent management changes at Heinz, we have decided to transition our business to other suppliers over time,” McDonald’s said in a statement, ostensibly while crossing Heinz off its list of best friends.
How stupid is this ? They both flip burgers and sell fries. Not giving away any trade secrets here that could destroy the competition . However it could effect McDonalds if the public finds out that they don't have Heinz. But , who really cares anyway , this screwed up country would rather celebrate Hurricane Sandy for a week or two , WTF.

What did McDonald accomplish by doing that?
ReplyDeleteSorry MickyD's if it weren't for Heinz you burgers would be inedible.
McDonalds doesn't use heinz in american stores except for pittsburgh. Heinz is used in overseas McDs but not for long…..
ReplyDelete932-What are you talking about? Heinz has been the condiment supplier for decades.
ReplyDeleteHeinz is the only ketchup worth eating.
ReplyDeleteThey make a version called Simply Natural, btw. It doesn't have the high fructose corn syrup that's so bad for you in it.
