Have you seen the video circulating on TikTok featuring a mysterious bottle of clear Heinz Ketchup? The caption boasts “all the tomato flavor and none of the ugly red color.” If you’re wondering if this condiment dream is a reality, buckle up, ketchup connoisseurs, because the truth is about to splatter.
The video, featuring a man picking up and squeezing a bottle of clear Heinz Ketchup, has racked up over 24 million views. But hold the fries – Heinz Clear Ketchup is a hoax.
While the video seems convincing, with a Heinz label and even a grey tomato on the bottle, it’s all a clever prank. Some viewers were fooled, wondering what the clear concoction might taste like, while others saw through the act, leaving sarcastic comments about its hand sanitizer resemblance.
This isn’t the first time Heinz has had to deal with ketchup imposters. In the past, they’ve gotten creative with security measures, like adding a color swatch label to their bottles in Turkey. This label changes color if the bottle is refilled with a non-Heinz product. This ingenious strategy helped consumers identify the real deal, leading to a significant decrease in counterfeit ketchup refills.
So, the next time you see a video of Heinz Clear Ketchup, remember: it’s just a prank, and for now, the classic red remains the king of condiments.
