It REALLY was a class program. In the University of Oregon's MBA program, Red Duck Ketchup was a project for Shannon Oliver (hope she got an "A"). Over a basket of Tater Tots, the idea was hatched. The Tots were flavored but the ketchup was definitely not and the idea of coming up with a sauce that matched the spicy food. Now in over 5,000 stores and expanding to barbeque sauce, cocktail sauce and taco sauce, Red Duck is taking the culinary world by storm. Still run by the original three university students, each has their area and specialty and the team runs well. But there was a learning curve, and luckily there were things like YouTube to tell you how to wrap a pallet when you're at the stage of shipping your own stuff. Now with all the experience behind them, maybe Shannon will be teaching the next MBA class...
