You don't have to, but it tastes better. It gets runny and a little twangy tasting if you don't.

Yes. All condiments that are acidic in nature break down at a steady rate when exposed to air. Before opened, ketchup can store up to a year safely at room temperature.

Like most fruits, tomatoes ferment if left out in the heat too long so yes , refrigerate after opening like the bottle says.

You better believe that you do. Especially in the summer. Have you ever ate ketchup that tasted like wine especially on your fries, that's spoiled ketchup.

It says for Best Results Keep Refrigerated. "Best Results" are subjective for each individual. I suppose you don't have to, thinking about those one-serving packages.

no, it just preserves it longer, keeps taste, and is preferred a bit more cold, if you have the room in your refridgerator do it

No.. look at all the restaurants youve been to, none of them refridgerate them.
