As if our nation weren’t polarized enough, a new condiment is threatening to divide us even further: On Wednesday, Heinz announced potential plans to bring “mayochup” into the world. It’s half ketchup, half mayonnaise, and if you ask some people, 100% wrong.
The food-processing company announced Thursday it’s contemplating selling the new product, provided it garners enough interest. It launched a public poll on Twitter, asking Americans to make the hard decision for them: “Want #mayochup in stores? 500,000 votes for yes and we’ll release it to you saucy Americans.”
The reaction is mixed. Some enthusiastically voted yes, though think it should be called “ketchonaise” or by it’s Utah-born equivalent name, “fry sauce.” Others bemoaned a nation too lazy to mix its own condiments–or that it left Hellmann’s mayonnaise out of the equation. Many simply felt confused about the entire ordeal: As one commented, “I voted yes, but I don’t know how I feel about it.”
As of Friday morning, over 700,000 people voted, with 55% in favor and 45% responding, “nah, I’ll make my own.”
Premixed condiments are nothing new. There’s sriracha mayo, peanut butter and jelly swirls, and, well, Thousand Island dressing. Heinz is likely making a good business decision, especially since its products have a solid reputation in the burger and fries game.
However, many expect more from Heinz, a company that perfected ketchup, especially seeing as how mayo ketchup is already for sale. In fact, it’s called Mayo Ketchup–and it’s sold by Goya Foods, the largest Hispanic-owned food company in the United States. You can find it in a Publix.
Heinz looks well on its way to packing shelves with its newest “creation.” Perhaps the company would have been better off if it had innovated something new
‘Ketchtard’
LOL! Has my vote!
How about ‘Mustchup?’
Heinz was/is former Sec of State Kerry’s wife’s company, which was sold, but they retained a lot of shares...not sure how many! I will NOT buy Heinz products! I don’t want John Kerry to get one cent of any money, that passed through my hands. :)

Nothing new. When I was a kid, if you wanted dressing on your salad, this is what you got.
Isn’t that the secret sauce ingredients of MCDonalds.???
Does anybody know why Heinz stopped making their original dill pickles? I used to get them in the quart jar, and they were damn good...tart as all hell. When I checked their website, it looks like they don’t make them anymore. They make a dill relish, but there’s nothing like biting into a real dill pickle that makes your mouth pucker. The closest I can come to their pickles is the local store brand’s hamburger slices, but for snacking, I’d prefer Heinz dills. Makes my mouth water just thinking of them.
That sounds good.
Well,I’d vote a big NO.......wouldn’t want that slimy mess on my food,but especially the mayo. About all mayo can do as a condiment is to provide lubrication for a sloppy mess to eat.
Jack-in-the-Box has “Secret Sauce” right now which is their fry sauce. Not very secret, really.
Great story. And that’s how you got your name.
My Thousand Island is relish, mayonnaise, ketchup and Dijon mustard.
They already do.... have a bottle in my fridge, next to the Tabasco soy sauce bottle. Wouldn’t want either to get lonely.
I’ve never had that before. I’m thinking of giving this a try:
Fry Sauce
Ingredients
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 teaspoon vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon season salt
Instructions
1. In a bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients. Adjust to taste as needed.
2. Store in a covered container for up to 3 days.

McDonald's Secret Sauce! :^) The problem I have with the product is, the name is moronic.
That sound disgusting. Of course I think infused vodka is missing the point, and sriracha is just plain nasty. So I was never gonna go for that.
I read that sriracha is the #1 selling hot sauce in the world. If that is true then there are a few people that disagree.
The masses have a long tradition of being full on stupid. Hence the success of prefabricated crappy pop music, and idiot politicians.
Ketchtard .......LOL!!......................Neither does MustUp!..............
I always thought McD’s ‘Secret Sauce’ was Thousand Island dressing..................
First introduced to this concoction in N. Ireland in 1993.
They also served it as a sauce for shrimp cocktails.
They call it “Rosemarie Sauce”.
I make it, every now and again.
