Aldi shoppers clear the shelves as they spot new Heinz Ketchups in middle aisle – but the flavours have fans divided
FANS have been racing to fill their trolleys after spotting new bargain Heinz Ketchups – but the flavours divided opinion.
Intrigued shoppers were keen to sample the controversial editions in Aldi’s Middle Aisle deals.
The bottles of Heinz Bacon Ketchup and Heinz Pickle Ketchup – which were dubbed perfect for BBQ season – caught the eye of many.
The large sauces were marked up at just £2.49, however buyers have left mixed reviews.
Imagine being in a rush and picking up this monstrosity instead of the Original, no thanks
Disappointed shopper
One wrote: “It looks like ketchup. It tastes like pickles were mixed in ketchup.
“I like pairing this best with meat cutlets, kababs and of course fries.
“The pickle flavor is not overwhelming, I think most people would enjoy it.”
Someone else commented: “AHHHH I want the bacon one!”
A third penned: “I have both the Pickle and Smokey Bacon flavour – they are extremely good.
“The pickle ketchup tastes like McDonalds ketchup and the Smokey Bacon one, tastes well… like smoked ketchup, its quite nice.
“It’s an alternative to Barbecue sauce without the strong after taste.”
“The pickle one is sooo beautiful!,” agreed a fourth.
But, someone else commented: “Rank.”
Another wrote: “Imagine being in a rush and picking up this monstrosity instead of the Original, no thanks.”
“Absolutely not,” said a third.
This new launch comes just weeks after Heinz revealed a tomato ketchup pasta sauce.
The sauce comes in a proper glass jar, but with the same look and branding as a classic bottle of ketchup, and will costs £2.50 at Tesco.
Earlier this year we also revealed shoppers were only just realising the Heinz Beanz pizza had returned after being discontinued 20 years ago.
Plus, Heinz confirmed that it has discontinued one of the nation’s favourites sauces and it has left shoppers fuming.
Heinz has also released new cheese and beans toasties in collaboration with Cathedral City in Iceland stores.
