This is just the ketchup that dries on the lid
Please stop proudly deteriorating, America.
Does anyone know what I’m referencing when I say, “and then you just add a squirt of lattice, a squirt of napkins…” Or, “quit fake pressing buttons on the microwave!!”
People who buy this shit are why companies get to kill a certain number of us every year without consequences.
Wasn’t ketchup bad enough?
wow people in the comments are REALLY fired up about the idea of ketchup existing in unfamiliar forms.
Remember when they sold non conforming ketchup colors, such as green, blue, and purple?
yeah and full grown adults had similar knee jerk reactions.
like when i offer someone a veggie dog and they say “eww no thanks! no regular ones?” i just dont understand people who act like that.
Those aren’t equivalent. It’s more like asking for mustard and someone says: no, but we have ketchup.
its similar, its adults openly acting like babies
It was good but people wouldn’t try it even though ketchup is died red. I tried all the colours I found.
Those were the days
Ultraprocessed mystery meat patty?
Yes!Ultraprocessed buns with exxxtra sugar?
Yummy!Ultraprocessed processed-tomatoes, but in a slice instead of sludge?
Ewww, no, there is a line!Hear me out:
As someone who hates both raw tomatoes and ketchup on a burger, my brain can’t comprehend why anyone would want either on their burger. Ketchup is just so gross. It tastes like if you added a cup of sugar to the worst marinara sauce and put it in a blender. Raw tomatoes, I can’t deal with the seeds. Weirdly I enjoy barbecue sauce on a burger knowing all to well that ketchup is the main ingredient.
Yeah regular ketchup is too sweet and ditto on not being fond of raw tomatoes either but the more savory kinds of ketchup or other tomato products are fine imo.
Got any recommendations on one? I didn’t know such a thing existed, have only had heinz, etc.
I know a person who hates ketchup with all of her soul. Same for mayo, mustard, bbq sauce, any condiment.
However, she’ll eat a sloppy joe drowning in that sauce from the can like it’s her job.
Y’all ketchup haters is weird.
Lol, I’m not fond of all the condiments listed except bbq sauce. For mustard, I’ll deal with hot mustard or Dijon, but fuck off with that yellow shit. Also aoli is just mayo in disguise. Sometimes if they put enough of whatever the other ingredient is to drown out the mayo, it’s OK, but for the most part, I’m not a fan.
I spent so long hating tomatoes. Then I had a BLT with Bread and Salt tomatoes and… that changed.
But I want sugar, salt and vinegar too. It adds a pep to it.
I hate tomatoes but like ketchup. They’re very different.
No Way! No one does it like that anymore. Go back to the 90’s fossil.
In American schools, this is considered a serving of vegetables.
This is ketchup leather. It’s not a new idea; it’s been around since fancy burger places with wood walls and exposed edison light bulbs started to be a thing in the early 2010s.
It’s just dehydrated ketchup. It makes ketchup more of a topping than a condiment and helps prevent the problem of everything squirting out of the other side of the bun when you take a bite.
That’s not a problem though.
Besides your introduction you make a fairly solid case for this product. Have you tried it?
Sounds to me it would actually work very nicely on a well made restaurant burger (in contrast to fast food burgers), which tend to have juicy meat and therefor have less need for extra lubrication.
I’ve tried it. The ketchup flavor gets concentrated. It’s actually a neat idea and not an abomination against nature like a lot of the comments here. There are plenty of recipes online if you want to make your own at home.
The abomination is how Hellman’s had to dumb it down and call it “ketchup slices”.
The trick is, they don’t use ketchup in restaurant burgers. Not good ones at least…
ok but also this uses less plastic than a bottle, takes up less fridge space, and can be useful to those with some types of mobility impairments
im with you, but less space? not sure about that
They will be individually wrapped lol
This is clearly a terrible idea, one of those where you say, “How did this get the green light?”
One night, just as he was falling asleep, a food scientist employed by the company had a light bulb idea! What if ketchup came in slices, like cheese. The perfect portion, cleanly placed on a burger. Further, you could do a whole line of condiments slices - mustard mayo, relish, BBQ sauce, the list is endless! I’ll bet he didn’t sleep a wink that night.
The next day, he calls everyone together, and springs his idea, and they all start excitedly discussing it. The supervisor realizes they are on to something, so he goes to corporate.
“I just had this great idea…” (of course he takes credit), and he explains it to The Suit, who immediately understands that he could sell a 12 pack of slices for the same price as a bottle with a hundred servings, increase profits, and please the Ferengi in the boardroom. So he approves the idea enthusiastically, and goes off to take credit to his bosses.
So it all goes into production after all the testing for spoilage and such is done, and nobody ever bothered to see if it tasted decent, or if consumers would accept it. You know there was very little consumer testing done on this because, well, look at it. It’s essentially a Tomato-flavored Fruit Roll- Up. You don’t even have to taste it to know that this isn’t going to have the proper mouthfeel or taste. Not only that, but the consumer is STILL going to need a bottle of ketchup, because he can’t dip his fries into a SLICE. Does anyone believe this product was an overwhelming success with a whole series of focus tests?
The whole reason this went into production was because they convinced themselves that this awful product had the potential to be wildly profitable, if they could force the consumer to accept it. The consumer did not accept it, and their focus groups probably told them that, but they either ignored it, or maybe just didn’t do focus groups at all. It’s a great profitable idea, why endanger it by getting the opinions of the future consumers?
I hope it cost them a lot of money.
An alternate theory:
Some poor bastard at fruit roll-up co finally got the greenlight for his tomato idea, internal testing proved it was terrible, but some marketing genius managed to sell the idea for enough money to offset the r&d costs.
The first ketchup you could use to roll a fatty like dogg lemme hit that Heinz 57 Blunt
Half the fun of ketchup is the PpPpPppPpPpptt!
Except when you get juice with it…
You mean ketchup pre
Do you not shake your ketchup first‽
Red plastic 😋
