Never got my mom to buy me those I really wanted the purple one, wish store's genericd those
mymidlifecrisiswasat23
Say what you want, but kudos to the creativity aspect of it. A lot of that stuff is no more, and won’t be again.
ptothedubs
I could never convince myself to eat it. Weird mental block.
EroticZombiePants
At least green is a theoretical color for tomatoes. They had those in purple too.
DuckFan87
I remember this from the early 2000s. My friend's parents owned a restaurant and they had these on the table.

Green ketchup was the 2000s. Not the 90s.
eppykaze
Close, the funky colours launched in 2000

Seems kinda mean for them to name it after OP's mom

Heinz? He’s German I suppose.

You didn’t have to say this. You could’ve said nothing at all

Can we go back to weird foods and silly live TV shows? Like rush or that temple show where you got pendulums
Roune
Can you make it to the top of the Astrocrag?!???? G-g-g-g-guts

Did you know? Ketchup is naturally a nasty brown color, they dye it red to make it look better. Also, some places it's made with bananas
Radix865
Did you know that it originally didn't have any tomatoes in it, and was originally a fish sauce.
Alientongue
Fish suaces are always the best and strongest of sauces so that makes sense
ProjectorGames
The weirdest thing about this is that it tasted different - but only with your eyes open!
SquidBait
I made a meatloaf with it once. It tasted fine, but looked like a toasted booger.
confanity
Why, it's almost as if the Reagan years had consequences that we're still suffering from to this very day.
skibitybebop
I was flippin PSYCHED when this came out
BishopHastur
Always wanted to try it, but the parents wouldn't buy it.
db629
90s fad of having different colors for food
majorserenity
What'll up pop next?

I still miss Pop Quiz

Pop Qwiz!! I loved that stuff!
jennym123
I think I tried these once and it smelled awful.
BidenduexMaximus
crystal pepsi had the right idea.

"The colors, Duke, the colors!" "I'm colorblind kid" what's weird time
erikleorga
Very typical colors too. Special greens, reds, purples, blues. VIBRANT and EYE CATCHING!
anonymax
And now largely banned in the EU
7hatsBollocks
It was also a more hopeful time. Things looked up and up. I think the colors and the silliness showed that.
jiynxed
And then Sept 11th happened.
7hatsBollocks
Certainly, but the rising right wing nationalism in many countries was coming either way. Just needed a catalyst to restrict freedoms with.
IllegalDuckling
I didn't grow up in those times, but DAMN I love the colourfulness

I spent years searching for the tropical beach pop tarts until I found out they where discontinued 2001. Still hurts
thisnonplace
Tropical blast pop tarts and to a lesser degree pink lemonade hi-c
Myowngrampa
I definitely miss it
MrSpooki
I did. I love modern design and all, but yeah, the 90s were very loud and very colorful. I do miss it a bit
Mindshard
The late '90s and early '00s were fucking amazing. No rules, the internet was the wild west, companies made crazy toys and shit.
BuBBaJoes
#2 this is mine now
eggtato
I fucking loved this garbage. I mixed it together with purple and red to make monstrosities
Khazimhir
not gonna lie i kinda miss green and blue ketchup, dont think i ever had the purple, still sad about it.
DwigtRortugal
My mom would never get the green, it grossed her out too much. She was good with any other color but green was crossing a line.
StabbyMcMurder
Green>purple
SedatedSl0th
The purple was spicy. I swear.
FraudulentPepsi
I see this a lot, but this was not a 90's thing at all. This came after the 90's
MidnightTacoTruck
Only 90's kids remember
jankeydadondc
Every body knows the 90's didn't end until 2009
FraudulentPepsi
In that case, this was totally the 90s
jankeydadondc
NotWelcomehere
My step-dad worked for Acosta the company that distributed all that shit and frito-lay back in the day...we got a lot of that stuff early.
youcancallmesusanifitmakesyouhappy
I was a kid when this was out, so it had to be 90s. Maybe it resurged after idk but i remember this as a kid. By the time y2k rolled around/
FraudulentPepsi
Sorry, but your memory has failed you, old man. This came out in 2000, which just happened to be after the 90's
youcancallmesusanifitmakesyouhappy
/i was a full grown tween with a deep yet squeaky voice, acne and an unrelenting need to masturbate
FraudulentPepsi
When this stuff came out I had been an adult for some time already, which is very sad news
youcancallmesusanifitmakesyouhappy
Lol ouch for both of us then
meme2theextreme
And now your acne has cleared up!

I work in a grocery store, yesterday I sold someone some flaming blue Takis (chips) and a bottle of hot n spicy mountain dew.
gummyloaf
Just here to say purple ketchup was better than green ketchup.
ScootyPuffThe3rd
Came to say this
Alientongue
Ya right dude get real. Green gang for life
Feverfeld
Mum made homemade Buffalo wings using that green ketchup... called em Grinch wings and made her make em again on Christmas for us
thedill2000
I'm colorblind... I don't get it
Alientongue
They released green ketchup and purple ketchup in the early 2000s. This is a pitcure of said green ketchup.
thedill2000
Thanks! Purple ketchup is weird (though it's blue to me). Green though... Well I've always seen brown ketchup
MrHappySmiles
Blastin’ Green. Yeah!
portraitsforfriends
Purple was better
Arcygenical
I wish I'd sat in on that brainstorm session, "Gee, if only we could capture the 0.001% of children that don't already like ketchup!!!!"
somnif
Eh, more like "How can we get people to spend 2$ more per bottle of ketchup?"
IHateApostrophes
It's more like, "How can we capture the 60% of kids buying our competitors' ketchup when all ketchup tastes the same?"
FireSolvesProblems
It was the 90's, the point wasn't to get more kids to use ketchup. It was to gross out adults.
theeggmanANDthewalrus
Yeah, that’s how Nickelodeon got super popular before Spongebob and why half of our toys were goop
FireSolvesProblems
Gak. Mine was baloney scented. The commercial had fart sounds & an angry librarian.
xstickman
Worked on me. I remember BEGGING my mom to buy me this.
PorneliusHubertII
It isnt about convincing people to buy ketchup...it is about getting people to buy YOUR ketchup. Kids influence parents buying habits.
IllegalDuckling
Knowing how dumb child me loved the blue Mcdonald's Smurfs ketchup and thought it tasted different, he definitely would have loved this one
mike13815
"How do we convince children to nag their parents into paying 4+ times as much as store brand for the same product?"
MostLikelyNotWearingPants
Exactly! My Godson would only eat purple Heinz ketchup for almost 2 years. Naturally more expensive than regular
OuchMouse
I wish they still had this color so when I go to Chicago I could still use ketchup on hot dogs and just say it’s relish.
tarnok
Wat
Akseptance
Chicagoan here. A traditional Chicago style hotdog is eaten without ketchup. Only mustard. Why? Because the old gods say so.
