Is Ketchup a Vegetable? | Eater
"In testimony about the January 6, 2021 events, a former aide said she saw the outgoing president fling a plateful of lunch, leaving gobs of ketchup dripping down the wall — an image that quickly became national fodder, drawing sharp attention from late-night hosts and comedians (Chelsea Handler quipped it looked like the end of a presidential playdate). The episode turned a mundane mess into a vivid symbol of political theater, reinforcing the presidential residence’s role as both a workplace and a stage where trivial details can fuel media scrutiny, satire, and wider debates about food, optics, and policy." - Claudia Geib
