Your American Icon:

Heinz Ketchup

Location:

Pittsburgh, PA

Why is this work an American Icon?:

More than hot dogs, hamburgers or french fries alone, ketchup is the iconic American food. In particular Heinz. Some people love it to extremes and out it on everything. Some people (terrorists probably) refuse to eat it. But if it's a known iconic American food somebody probably slathers it with Heinz Ketchup.
