    I wouldn't be able to eat it. Couldn't eat the purple ketchup either.

    "Heinz produced 1 million rainbow-colored, mystery bottles last year. Consumers who bought the ketchup didn't know, until they squirted it on a burger whether they got pink, orange or teal. The company hoped customers' reactions would help it decide its next hue, but no one color became a front runner. Instead, customers called for blue, Teets said."

    thats pretty damn cool

    Didn't they also come out with a ketchup mixed with sprinkles (like the kind found on donuts)? Nasty shit. Who comes up with these ideas?!

    I've tried green and purple. Seems like it maybe tastes a little different. If nothing else it looks cool on your food!
    But nothing beats the red

    From an aesthetic point of view, blue ketchup isn't much different than blue Smarties, blue Gatorade, blue cotton candy, blue Slurpees, etc, but all these are "sweet" items.

    These marketing gimmicks will never fail because they are NOT marketed towards you guys, but towards little children who have tremendous purchasing power and are easily attracted to these kinds of things.

    there's nothing wrong with it. ketchup isn't naturally red. it's dyed red. blue ketchup is exactly the same as red. if ketchup was never red and was blue originally, and red ketchup came out, i'm sure you'd all think the same way.
