The best solutions are often the simplest ones, and after 150 years, Heinz has finally found an easy way to answer the question “How do I get this dang ketchup to pour?!” And despite all the talk of American innovation, this idea is actually courtesy of Canada.

When it comes to pouring, angle is one of the keys, so Heinz Canada teamed up with the creative agency Rethink Canada for a test run of bottles with, what at first glance, look like weirdly angled labels.
