The difficulty with analogies, curtesy of Dave Allen:
The Pope is arguing with an atheist.
Says the Pope to the atheist: "You are like a man who is totally blindfolded, in a dark room, looking for a black cat that is not there."
Ah, says the atheist, "Then you and I have a lot in common."
"What do you mean?" asks the Pope.
Well, says the atheist, "You are also like a man who is blindfolded, in a totally dark room, looking for a black cat that isn't there."
"The only difference is that you have found it."

Not usually. Isn't that heresy? Mustard goes with sausages. Ketchup goes with fries.
But also, Ketchup in the UK is different from the traditional USA version. UK Ketchup is more like the "Simply Heinz" version over here. Sugar is third in the ingredients list after tomatoes and vinegar. Something with more vinegar than sugar is probably not "sweet". And tomatoes themselves have quite a high acidity.

The ingredient list on a bottle of regular Heinz ketchup is as follows: tomato concentrate from red ripe tomatoes, distilled vinegar, high-fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, salt, spice, onion powder, natural flavoring.
True, high fructose corn syrup comes in third.
But hang on, plain old corn syrup is the fourth ingredient!
Aren’t they both considered sugar? ...

Now this is most interesting, I never heard of this approach. Also "candied Bacon" is probably the best description of what your end up with. Those candied Bacon have a texture and flavor all their own. The transformation was shocking to me.

Lay down strips on foil on a cookie sheet, drizzle, bake for 10 minutes, flip, drizzle more if you like, bake another 10 minutes -- times give or take oven temp, bacon size, crispness and all that of course!
Smoke flavor is particularly water-soluble -- which may seem kind of odd as flavors go, or given its association with fatty things like bacon and barbecue -- and so is sugar, and so are one in the other. So the sugar traps the smoke flavor and makes it so delightfully, devilishly rich and flavorful and sweet, and greasy, and let's not forget the salt from the cured meat. ;D

This gives me an idea, I might try this on the grill if it ever stops raining around here.

Yep plenty of sugar in Heinz Ketchup. This is why you end up with that sticky coating when spread across a meatloaf before baking.
