I tend to avoid sweet stuff in general-- I don’t dislike it but I’m not often in the mood for it. I eat ketchup sometimes but I more often put sriracha on fries. BBQ sauce that isn’t disgustingly sweet is difficult to find, and I’d love more ketchup options to be widely available. There’s a reason heinz had 57 varieties dammit!

Unfortunately those usually contain artificial sweeteners and still taste way too sweet.
I finally managed to find one local (to the Netherlands) brand that sells ketchup without added sugars or sweeteners. The brand was actually started by a person with diabetes who wanted to cut out all sugar from her diet.
It’s so much better than the standard Heinz stuff. Much more savory, you can actually taste the tomatoes.

It of course depends on the market. In California they are not hard to find.

Yes my favorite ketchups only have the original sugars from the vegetables used. And usually have some richer spices and more prominent vinegar.

BBQ basically is ketchup with brown sugar and other smokey flavor added in

The only time I really use bbq sauce is as a marinade before something goes on the grill, never really as a dip. The only time I use ketchup is as an ingredient/thin glaze in/on meatloaf before the oven.
