Heinz makes green ketchup. Green ketchup? According to a Heinz representative, "Green is going to be a shocker for a lot of adults, but kids don't have those hangups". The article also says, "company executives are hoping its unexpected colour and plastic bottle - which squirts a stream so thin kids can draw with it - will attract fans."

I see a few problems here (after the novelty wears off):
1) It's supposed to be the color of spinach - I know a few kids who would have a problem with anything spinach-colored.
2) If kids are meant to use it to squirt and draw things, parents will have a little something to say about that.

So, what's next, blue salsa? Pink mustard? Green mayo?

Matt: why don't you make it automatically search <A> tags and warn you if it's been posted before? Sounds like common sense to me... (but then again, who wants to halve the number of posts anyway?)

Not that the check would matter, this is linking to a different site with the same story.

I'd like to push for an editorial board. I *heart* MeFi. Little girls riding bicycles with training wheels I push over.

I'm not sure exactly what it's called but when I worked at a supermarket I remember a mainstream product called hotdog relish. I guess the people at the factory figured everyone puts mustard and relish on their hotdog so they combined the two into one jar. So you had yellow relish. Of course the green ketchup thing is a little different then just combining two other condiments.

Poor kids. This just sounds like an accident waiting to happen...

If I ever played with my food when I was little my mom was quick to throw me a wild beating.

So, what's next, blue salsa? Pink mustard? Green mayo? I think I have green mayo in my fridge right now. hotdog relish sounds disgusting.
