Good morning, Daily Money friends, and good day to you from yours truly, Nathan.

🍅 Let no drop of ketchup ever go to waste again.

Heinz has a new solution for all that ketchup that you can't squeeze out of the packet. The company has introduced a ketchup roller that attaches to your keychain.

How did we ever live without it?!

💡 INSIGHT OF THE DAY: Ford is shifting its manufacturing footprint toward the South, where foreign automakers have located their American production capacity for decades. The company announced Monday that it's building several new plants to support its electric vehicle production. Where? Not Michigan, Ohio or Indiana. Instead, they'll be built in Kentucky and Tennessee. The move marks a further diminishment of the Midwest's domination of automotive output while bolstering the South's growing reputation as a manufacturing powerhouse.

📰 And here are more stories you won't want to miss:

1. If jobless claims rise, could that lead to another stimulus check? I wouldn't count on it.

2. HomeGoods is launching a new online store: It will feature a variety of products, including decor, bedding and kitchen goods.

3. It's not delivery, it's a recall: Watch out for this DiGiorno pizza recall.

4. The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas casino-hotel on the Las Vegas strip has been sold: Blackstone offloaded it in a $5.65 billion deal.

🎰 Yes, you read that price right.

Altogether with me now: The house always wins.
