A man from the island of Dominica in the Caribbean said he survived for 24 days while lost at sea on a sailboat by eating ketchup before he was rescued, according to the country’s naval authority.

"I had no food. There was only a bottle of ketchup that was on the boat, garlic powder, and [bouillon cubes]. So I mixed it up with some water for me to survive 24 days in the sea," Elvis Francois, 47, said in a video released by the Colombian Navy.
