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? This question is about to be answered in a rather unexpected way.
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."
What to Expect from the Smoothie
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. This unique blend raises an interesting point: if tomatoes are technically fruits, can we consider ketchup a part of a smoothie? The Tomato Ketchup Smoothie begs the question, if tomatoes are fruits, is ketchup a smoothie?
