When officials busted into an abandoned warehouse in Dover, New Jersey, they discovered an unusual counterfeiting operation. No, not luxury goods or other things you'd normally think about when you think of things being knocked off - the police stumbled upon a strange tomato ketchup counterfeiting scheme:
Dan Goldberg of The Star-Ledger has the story: LinkIt looks like a grisly murder scene. Red splotches pooling on a warehouse floor. A rotten smell. Insects swarming. Crates knocked to the ground.
But no one died here.
This wasn't carnage. This was condiment.
Inside a privately owned Dover warehouse are the remnants of an abandoned Heinz Tomato Ketchup counterfeiting scheme.
The ketchup appears to be real but the labels on the plastic bottles are a fraud, according to a Heinz spokesman.

"Well, tonight we'll be having fluffed air on a bed of notions, a hot bowl of this wonderful whipped water soup, the main course will be a substantial vestment of french roasted aromas, and perhaps if anyone dares... I've prepared these absolutely delightful guilty thoughts that I thought we'd sit all night and munch on!"
