Man who lived on ketchup while stranded at sea for weeks has ducked out of sight - but Heinz wants to find him



Heinz is sending out a message in a ketchup bottle, hoping to find a man who survived for nearly a month stranded at sea eating almost nothing but ketchup.

Elvis Francois, 47, was rescued by the Colombian Navy last month, after he spent more than 20 days at sea in a sailboat, Insider reported. His resourcefulness made headlines, focusing on how he lived on a bottle of ketchup, seasoning cubes and garlic powder.

Now, Heinz is broadcasting a plea to find Francois to celebrate his return home.

"You may remember Elvis Francois as the brave sailor who survived on nothing but ketchup and spices while adrift at sea for 24 days," the company wrote in an Instagram post. "Well, Heinz wants to celebrate his safe return home and help him buy a new boat… but we can't seem to find him."
