HEINZ has launched a brand new ketchup flavour, but some fans aren't convinced that it's a good idea.<\/p>\n
The much-loved brand describes the new tomato ketchup pickleas the "perfect condiment to take you home cooked meal to takeaway heaven".<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It landed on shelves at Tesco stores nationwide today and is priced at \u00a33.99.<\/p>\n
While some fans are excited to try the new flavour, others are unconvinced.<\/p>\n
Writing on Facebook, one user said" Something fundamentally wrong there."<\/p>\n
While another said: "I want my ketchup to taste like ketchup and my pickles to taste like pickles."<\/p>\n
And a third said: "It's too early for April fools'"<\/p>\n But some social media users were excited by the launch with one saying, "Imma have to find that", while another said it was "worth a try".<\/p>\n Thiago Rapp, head of Heinz comms and Brand build at Heinz said:\u00a0\u201cWe know there are lots of pickle fans out there, so it made sense to bring two of the nation\u2019s favourite flavours, Heinz Tomato Ketchup and tangy pickle, together. <\/p>\n "We\u2019ve been hard at work perfecting the best recipe and we\u2019re sure you\u2019re going to love it. It\u2019s dill-licious."<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n This new launch comes just weeks after Heinz revealed a tomato ketchup pasta sauce.<\/p>\n The sauce comes in a proper glass jar, but with the same look and branding as a classic\u00a0bottle of ketchup, and will costs \u00a32.50 at Tesco.<\/p>\n It was met with outrage on social media, with several users apologising to Italians for the controversial recipie. <\/p>\n Heinz responded\u00a0to the outrage on social media, saying: "We know Brits often take to social media to air their view on this seemingly controversial use of ketchup and it might upset a few Italians.<\/p>\n "But right or wrong, here at Heinz, we think Ketchup goes with\u00a0everything!"<\/p>\n Earlier this year we also revealed shoppers were only just realising the\u00a0Heinz Beanz pizza\u00a0had returned after being discontinued 20 years ago.<\/p>\n Plus, Heinz confirmed that it has discontinued one of the nation's favourites sauces and it has left shoppers fuming.<\/p>\n The iconic '90s pizza costs \u00a33.50 to buy exclusively from Iceland store<\/p>\n You can also join our new Sun Money Facebook group to share stories and tips and engage with the consumer team and other group\u00a0members.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/picture>HOT CHOC <\/span><\/p>\n
