I like this question it looks like you are as interested to learn about history as I am. As far as I know the term Ketchup means a sauce, a vinegary one.

The vinegar and salt in the ketchup will remove most of the dark tarnish on a darkened or dirty copper penny (you can accomplish the same effect more quickly using just a small dish of vinegar and salt). However, the penny will "clean up" with a slightly beige-pink or rosy color, significantly not quite the color of a shiny new penny.

Does ketchup and or mustard need refrigeration?
MUSTARD: According to Frenche's website: "Dijon & Horseradish Mustard will lose heat and distinct flavor, so we encourage refrigeration for both. For all other mustards, refrigerating will help maintain its flavor; however, it is not necessary if you prefer your mustard to be room temperature. There are no ingredients in mustard that spoil. "Refrigerate After Opening" is not required for food safety. It is recommended to maintain optimal product flavor.
Why use vinegar in tomato ketchup?
Vinegar acts as a preservative because there are not that many microorganisms that can live in it. It's a waste product of certain kinds of bacteria, but even they have problems once the concentration gets high enough... it's sort of like humans trying to live in a sewage pond.
My name is mike and i have worked for the FDA for 10 years. Rarely do we have someone die from expired ketchup. Normally we get around 50-100 cases of severe food poisoning a year from this food, but only 2 deaths have been linked to expired ketchup, specifically heinz, over the past 5 years. Both cases were also linked to tomatoes grown in central California. The best way to prevent this is to throw away any food that expires within the same month being used. However, since the acidic properties of tomatoes that have gone bad work directly against the colon, a half cup of vinegar is highly effective in combatiing any sickness from the expired food product.
Would a ice cub float in ketchup?
Interesting Question. I would say Yes. However, be aware that there is another force that could hold the ice cube. That is viscosity. Viscosity is a force resists movement of fluid over a solid surface. For the cube to "float" means the weight of the cube of ice is lighter than the weight of the ketchup that it displaces.
Two different forces going on.
