There’s a new packaging concept for Fat Tomato Ketchup that comes in two varieties, red and yellow. The yellow version uses yellow tomatoes to pay homage to ketchup’s Asian origins, while the red is proud of its use of American tomatoes.
The packaging by Czech firm, MAISON D IDEE Prague, created fun characters with creative use of 3-D rendering, and… wait a minute… Is that a Native American tomato? Hold on a sec… Did they… Is that an Asian person as a yellow tomato? Wow, that went off the rails pretty quickly.
The designers, while explaining their use of the characters, provide such a genuine lesson in ketchup history and origin, that it’s hard to get angry at their obliviousness.
“We were delighted that we could connect the yellow packaging with a oriental character of the tomato. Finally at least something points to the origin of this beautiful westernized word ‘ketchup’. This word of a sauce made of fermented fish or mushroom paste (sources differ) was brought to Europe by sailors (most likely under Eastern Indian’s influence) from China on the turn of 18th century.”
Of course, this concept wouldn’t make it past a sketch pad in the U.S. What do you think? Cute, forgivably ill-advised, slightly racist, or all of the above?
Why take the time to manually mix ketchup and mayonnaise, when Heinz will gladly do it for you?
Mayochup will not only save space in your fridge, but the condiment mash-up will keep you from having to do all that work. Although this “fry-sauce” is currently only available in the Middle East, Heinz is asking folks if they should bring Mayochup to the U.S.
So, head to Twitter and let them know how you feel about Mayochup. “Yes, please!” Or, “I’ll mix my own, Heinz!”
Ketchup is wonderful. Mustard, when used correctly, can be even better. As of now, the two condiments managed to coexist, doing their own thing. That was until they were merged into a cake.
Ketchup and Mustard Cake is the unfortunate joining of two condiments, that may or may not haunt your dreams. Brought to us by Shared Food, the baking experiment uses actual ketchup and mustard. The result… something that looks like a cross between a high school archaeology project, and a birthday cake from McDonald’s.
Watch the “how to” below, if you dare. Let us know how far you get.
Anything with a wiener dog dressed up as an actual wiener can’t be bad. Then, imagine an entire stampede of the elongated canines running in slow motion towards humans dressed as condiments.
Wiener Stampede is part of Heinz’s “Meet The Ketchups” campaign, with this particular 30-second ad scheduled to run during the Super Bowl. Check it out below, for half-a-minute of pure adorbz.
