78. I worked in a tomato cannery while in college.

Tomatoes come from the fields in “boats” on top of flatbed trailers. They’re washed out into a sluice that floats them to a conveyor belt that goes into the cannery. They make their way around the cannery and are processed into various types, whole, diced, stewed, etc. The very last stop is catsup. Whatever is left on the belt after all the other products are canned is what they process into catsup. It’s not very pretty.
