Me and Steve the Hammer were discussing some of the worst things ever invented the other day and this gem just happened to cross my mind. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying worse things haven’t been created, but in terms of a company supporting a product and developing a marketing plan, this has to be one of the biggest flops in the history of the world.
I remember seeing commercials for blue, green, and purple ketchup and thinking what in God’s name is going on in the world that they’ve decided to change the color of ketchup? I remember being intrigued and disgusted, I NEEDED to buy this product. I had my mom get me this stuff because I needed to know if green ketchup was going to begin its domination in the ketchup game. I really cannot tell you whether or not this stuff tasted like regular ketchup, my mind had made the decision before I could try it as I think it did for many people who tried this product; the result was an “ughhh, this is fucking disgusting get me some regular ketchup so I can eat my McDonalds French fries.”
This was an epic disaster on the part of Heinz. They had a good thing going with ketchup and decided to try and stir shit up. There are a couple of things I know: 1) Pats suck, and so do people from Boston and 2) Ketchup is supposed to be red, don’t fix something that ain’t broken.
If you have any other products like this, comment or email us so we can bracket them up and have a “worst invention tourney.”
