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:

It 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.

it's one of those money purse-carrying fobs that asians used to wear when they had those kimonos and yukatas on or whatever. The string on those things is put on your belt, and then your purse could hang off of that by the purse strings.

They actually look something like bird calls. The parts are rubbed together to make a chirping sound. Maybe that's why the guy's face looks like a cat?

I think it's a childs cap toy. You insert the cap into the toy, then drop the toy onto the sidewalk. The striker moves up and sets off the cap.

Is cord stop the right word? The little thing that tightens a bag or adjusts an item of clothing with a draw string closure--it grips rather than ties. cord grip? cord stop? cord toggle? banana?
