I’m a fan of ketchup on my fries and in my burgers, but I would never want to drink the stuff.
But, for some reason, Heinz and Smoothie King have decided to team up and create a monster using the taste of tomato sauce. I couldn’t think of something I would enjoy less. They seem to think it’s a good idea.
Thankfully, it isn’t just a fat squirt of ketchup in a smoothie with some ice. They seem to think they have created a concoction that complements the sugary condiment. “The smoothie blends sweet Acai sorbet, crisp apple juice, juicy strawberries, and tart raspberries with the unmistakable taste of Heinz Simply Ketchup. The result? A sweet and fruity smoothie with a bright, tangy ketchup finish, perfect for Heinz and smoothie lovers alike,” they say.
Limited Run For Heinz Ketchup Smoothie Monstrosity
Everything in that smoothie works well together without the Heinz ketchup. If they just left it out, it would be perfectly fine. But, I guess they wanted the promo colab money. I expect a lot of people will buy it just to try it too.
The smoothie won’t be around for long and will only set you back about $6, which is reasonable. If you’re looking to get your hands on a Heinz ketchup smoothie, it’ll be available in participating stores in New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Denver, or Miami.
I worked in a milkshake shop for a short amount of time. It wasn’t a great job, but it wasn’t stressful either. We had a thousand different ingredients to use, from the delicious to the straight-up weird. We also had an offer where, for £5, we would blend whatever people brought in into a smoothie.
I saw some monstrosities arrive through the doors. We worked on a road with a number of bakeries and takeaways on it. In that time, I blended sausage rolls, pies, roast potatoes, fries, and more into smoothies. It makes the Heinz ketchup smoothie look quite tame.
I still wouldn’t want one, though. The only tomato-based smoothie I’ll be drinking has a fat slug of vodka in it and is named after Jesus’ mum.
