On every bottle of ketchup that I've ever seen, the label says "fancy ketchup". What makes ketchup "fancy"? Has anyone ever seen "un-fancy" ketchup, or "normal" ketchup? What is ordinary ketchup called? What does it take to make ordinary ketchup into fancy ketchup?

It's not really fancy. There's a lot of debate, mainly that it might have been a marketing gimmick.
There's plenty of reading about it, http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&rls=GGLR%2CGGLR%3A2005-49%2CGGLR%3Aen&q=%22fancy+ketchup%22+why

Its a marketing gimmick.
I am sure at one point some ketchup genius decided to out do the competition by making his refined tomatoes not mere ketchup, but "fancy ketchup". It probably was such a hit all his fellow ketchup makers followed suit.

what makes it fancy is that the ketchup is made with no chunks or anything. which is whatt you get if you try to make it yourself. hence ketchup with no chunks is concidered fancy. even if by todays standards thats nothin special.

I think it probably has to do with the texture or contents.
Some cheap ketchup is all watery and oily and gross.
Fancy ketchup has pizazz and flavor.

I agree, nothing at all fancy, it's for hot dogs, burgers & fries. Oh, and meat loaf. But really, it's just a marketing gimmick.
Oooooooooo, fancy! Lemme try!

Thats what they say to get every ones attention hopping you will buy it. What a scam if you know what I mean. We all know there is nothing fancy about it.

"Unfancy" ketchup is probably tomato juice!
