Metchup!

Creativity astounds me. So do things that seem so obvious that you have to ask yourself “Why didn’t someone think of that before?!”

That’s the thought that entered my head the second I encountered a two-in-one ketchup and mustard. I’ve elected to refer to it as metchup, casting kustard to one side for obvious reasons.

Metchup!
Metchup!
Had it been just mixed together to leave some orange-coloured yucky, I wouldn’t have been impressed. But no, this stuff comes out in red and yellow stripes, each bit distinct but intertwined! It reminds me of striped toothpaste but―importantly―tastes not of fluoride, but if whatever chemical flavourings go into ketchup and mustard.

And the price is great too: Just pop down to your nearest Aldi and you can pick up this badboy for 69 of your English pence :)

    As someone who doesn’t understand the urge the lower classes have to smear their food in multicoloured gunk, the excitement you feel is lost on me :P

    It looks foul!!!

    It’s for hot dogs. You’re *supposed* to put ketchup and mustard on them; that’s what the taste is.

    Metchup~!~!

    I don’t think hot dogs are very nice anyway :P

    Here’s an image of it in its tube. Can’t say that I particularly like the idea of 2-in-1 mayo and ketchup, or, even worse, mayo and mustard, but as for dear, sweet metchup …

    Drools
