IN a blow to parents everywhere, a man lost at sea has survived for 24 days by eating ketchup.
Elvis Francois from the Caribbean island of Dominica found himself adrift when the weather turned foul while he was repairing a sailing boat.
“I had no food, there was only a bottle of ketchup, garlic powder and some stock cubes”, he said.
“It was very rough. I don’t know how I am alive today but I am alive, and I am grateful for that,” he added.
He was eventually rescued by the Colombian Navy.
Francois can’t wait to “ketchup” with his relieved family – after all, as the Heinz ad says, “the best things come to those who wait”.
Francois is also likely to be the only person to consume as much ketchup as he did and end up losing weight.
