Introduction to the Unconventional Smoothie
Chicago is about to sip its way into uncharted territory.
There may be a popular rule that you never put ketchup on your hot dogs in Chicago, but what about in your smoothie?
The Launch of the Tomato Ketchup Smoothie
Heinz announced Wednesday that it will partner with Smoothie King to launch the first-ever Tomato Ketchup Smoothie, but only for a limited time.
The drink, set to become available starting Aug. 6, blends Kraft Heinz’s Simply Ketchup with acai sorbet, apple juice, strawberries, and raspberries.
According to the Heinz website, Simply Ketchup is "free of high-fructose corn syrup."
Availability and Pricing
The smoothie will be offered for a limited time at select Smoothie King locations across Chicago, the companies said. It will be priced at $5.70.
But the Tomato Ketchup Smoothie begs the question, if tomatoes are fruits, is ketchup a smoothie?
The Concept Behind the Smoothie
The idea of incorporating ketchup into a smoothie may raise eyebrows, but it’s an innovative attempt to redefine the traditional use of ketchup.
By blending it with fruits and acai sorbet, Heinz and Smoothie King aim to create a unique taste experience that challenges conventional smoothie recipes.
Conclusion
The introduction of the Tomato Ketchup Smoothie is a bold move by Heinz and Smoothie King, offering Chicagoans a chance to experience a truly one-of-a-kind drink.
Whether it’s a hit or a miss, the limited-time offer is sure to generate buzz and encourage adventurous eaters to try something new.
