why do you say ketchup is fancy ?
IMO its low grade food that has a crappy flavor, on the verge of being called slop.
I've always used BBQ sauce instead of ketchup!

I am with you Omri. I love ketchup. Certain things I have tried hot sauce on in place of and it is just not the same.
For the same reason Famous Passow Pizza is famous. It is because we say it is.thehotpepper.com said:
maybe there are plain ketchups and some kinds are fancy by comparison...?
The word recalls another term, U.S. Fancy, which was a synonym for U.S. Grade A and formerly specified a particular high grade of ketchup.
But ketchup is no longer formally described by those terms, so the word fancy by itself is used simply to recall that technical standard and convey a sense of high quality, said Brian Kennedy, director of communications for the Grocery Manufacturers Association.
Found that description randomly on the web somwhere.

Dear Ketchupman,
What's the meaning of "fancy" ketchup? What's so fancy about it? Bryan H.
By its nature, ketchup is synonymous with fancy.
That is why the expression "Black Tie and Ketchup" means a fancy occasion. That is why the expression "She caught my ketchup" means "Caught my fancy." And last, "Fancy Smancy" means the same as "Ketchup Smetchup."
Ketchup is always fancy.

My favorite ketchup is the kind you get at Whataburger . Oh man it's so badass. And it says fancy right on the little cup.
My dad got an entire case of the little cups for his birthday one year from a friend lol.
Lol, google search for "why is whataburger ketchup so good?" returns lots of other people asking the same thing.
