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
I was so excited to try them!
We got a purple one. It wasn't good.
The consistency was different, as if they needed to make it more watery to work with the zany squeeze bottle shape 🤷♂️
Those were the days
Low key that was the peak consumerism era. Maybe from mid 80s-mid 2010s. Pretty much right until they invented "high value" virtual commodities. (nfts, crypto, ai, etc)
like fuck capitalism and the repercussions of that era will last for generations, but that was neat time to be alive.
It was good but people wouldn't try it even though ketchup is died red. I tried all the colours I found.
