Heinz is a well-known company for the production of ketchup and baked beans. However, the company inadvertently created headlines after a sailo,r lost at sea for 24 days, survived on stock cubes and Heinz ketchup alone.

47-year old Elvis Francois was thrown into the Atlantic ocean when poor weather pulled him and his boat out to sea. Lacking the navigational knowledge, Francois floated helplessly until spotted by an aircraft.

“I had no food. It was just a bottle of ketchup that was on the boat, garlic powder and Maggi (stock cubes) so I mixed it up with some water,” Francois said.

Since his return to Colombia, Heinz has sent out a request for information on his whereabouts with a special offer.
