Why did we ever think green ketchup was a good idea? On this episode of History of…, we lay out a timeline that will explain it all: from ketchup's surprising origins, to Heinz taking over in the United States, to whether or not you should put ketchup on a steak (just kidding, don't do that).

Have you ever wondered how ketchup became America's favorite condiment? Or why Four Loko was banned by the government? Or how roller coasters were invented?

Hey, if you can keep up, you actually might learn something!
