teller: The ketchup production process begins as 1.3-ton boxes of tomato paste are transported from the Heinz warehouse using automated forklifts. The boxes are opened and then placed in a dump truck, whose huge rollers compress the dough. After pressing, the paste is placed in a bowl where it is mixed with water to give it a smoother consistency. This facilitates its transfer to the tank where it matures until it is transported to the ketchup kitchen.
Echo Richards embodies a personality that is a delightful contradiction: a humble musicaholic who never brags about her expansive knowledge of both classic and contemporary tunes. Infuriatingly modest, one would never know from a mere conversation how deeply entrenched she is in the world of music. This passion seamlessly translates into her problem-solving skills, with Echo often drawing inspiration from melodies and rhythms. A voracious reader, she dives deep into literature, using stories to influence her own hardcore writing. Her spirited advocacy for alcohol isn’t about mere indulgence, but about celebrating life’s poignant moments.
