The Internet Is Losing It Over Heinz’s Mayo And Ketchup Hybrid ‘Mayochup’

The Internet Is Losing It Over Heinz’s Mayo And Ketchup Hybrid ‘Mayochup’

Heinz's Mayochup is going global and the internet does NOT know how to handle it.

Let's face it - during our lowest takeaway moments we've all had a bash at blending mayonnaise with ketchup to make a poor man's Marie Rose sauce. It just goes so damn well with chips.

Although the condiment combo is loved by many, when a picture emerged earlier this year showing Heinz had combined the household sauces to make 'Mayochup', the nation was instantly divided.

The sauce is available in the Gulf States and many Internet users were embittered about the fact that Heinz was serving up this mayo/red sauce hybrid, despite the fact Brits have been chuffing the stuff for years.

Either way, the hype died down and everyone was left in peace - until now.

According to the Metro, when Mayochup was discovered, Heinz decided to put out requests questioning whether the condiment should go global.

When they posted a poll as to whether it should be released in the US, thousands of people voted yes - presumably because it's funny to watch Americans recoil in disgust over our weird Brit products (a la Marmite).

Anyway, the people have spoken, Heinz has listened, and now Mayochup is heading to US stores. Today you're all encouraged to voted for which city the condiment should be released in: Culver City, Chicago, or Brooklyn.

Nicole Kulwicki, the director of marketing for Heinz, said: "After seeing the unprecedented passion surrounding this product, including the nearly one million votes on social media and 500,000 votes in favor of bringing it Stateside, launching Mayochup in the US was a no-brainer.

"We're excited to officially welcome Heinz Mayochup sauce to the Heinz family of products, including ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauce and our most recent addition, Heinz mayonnaise."

Of course, if American residents are that thirsty to try Mayochup, they can just go down to their local store, buy some ketchup and mayo, and make it themselves. It's this exact debate that has left the Twitter community raging:

Cultural appropriation of fry sauce? What a time to be alive.
