The Green Ketchup was a glorified marketing gag of the ubiquitous Heinz Tomato Ketchup launched in the summer of 2000.
Bio[edit | edit source]
While the regular bottles of Heinz' ketchup already infuriated families around the globe with its two-mode style between 'nothing comes out' and 'hentai ketchup bukkake', the company had shareholders to appease, and thus sought to increase its sales. It soon was decided that the best approach in that matter was to target children, who could readily pull the dollars from parental wallets if they saw something fancy.
As it turned out, fancy, in this case, meant being green. Under the careful hands of the perpetually abused food engineers and perpetually abusive marketing department, Heinz released a version of its usual ketchup that was colored in stark green. The entire mess haunted households for the better part of six years, until Heinz eventually stopped production in 2006.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
An animated (and decidedly vengeful) bottle of Green Ketchup participated in the 90s-themed 8chanmania LII. For all of its fancy color, though, it still was a glass bottle, and ended up being run over by the Toyota AE86.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- The entire trick of pumping food coloring into your products is a wonderful symptom of hyper-consumerism, first invented by the Coca-Cola company, and then parodied by the Nuka-Cola from the Fallout universe.
