Former college roommates Patrick Spero and Chris Cylke, the latter a Republican staffer on Capitol Hill, are the brains behind "Bush Country Ketchup."
"While dunking our (french) fries in ketchup a few months ago, we came to a sudden realization," explains one. "With each drop of ketchup we ingested - bottled by a company whose single largest individual shareholder is the wife of Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry - we were indirectly making his wallet fatter."
So, the pair took out a $5,000 loan in February and are now peddling the President Bush alternative to Heinz - although a bottle of the obviously higher-quality Bush ketchup fetches $5.99, plus $4.99 shipping and handling.
