Blue Becomes Latest In Ketchup Spectrum

You've heard of blue cheese, blueberries and chicken cordon bleu, but what about blue ketchup?

H.J. Heinz Company, which brought us the condiment in red, green, purple and other hues, has added blue to its palette of crazy-colored ketchup.

The Pittsburgh company unveiled Heinz E-Z Squirt "Stellar Blue" today, just in time for spring and summer.

Heinz spokesman Robin Teets says the food giant expects the new color to provide a boost to all ketchup sales, not just the oddly tinted ones.

Since Heinz introduced its first shade, "Blastin' Green," in October 2000, the company sold more than 25 million bottles of colored ketchup. Teets says Heinz controlled 60 percent of the American ketchup market last year. That's an all-time high for the company.

I know the other colours have been released it says so in the story at the start. But they have now added blue, all I am saying is i wouldn't want to eat it And I am obviously not looking hard enough, because i have not seen the other coloured stuff anywhere.

It's only the colouring they are changing.

You'll probably find the "normal" red ketchup isn't red until they add the colouring.

Any guesses for what colour "le Ketchup naturale" is?

Gold.
