The name ‘Mayochup’ has been a topic of fierce debate on Twitter, which
is why Heinz is letting fans weigh in on the condiment’s final
name before its official launch, at Twitter.com/HeinzKetchup_US.
“We know people have combined mayonnaise and ketchup for years and they
are passionate about its name,” said Nicole Kulwicki, Director of
Marketing for Heinz. “That’s why we’re asking America to share
their suggestions, to ensure our version of this delicious duo gets the
name it deserves.”
While waiting for Heinz Mayochup to hit store shelves, those
eager to try it can make their own perfect blend using Heinz
Ketchup and New Heinz Mayonnaise, made with 100% Cage Free Eggs. Heinz
Mayonnaise is the newest member of the Heinz family and has a
deliciously creamy texture that’s crafted to taste like homemade.
New Heinz Mayonnaise is available at retailers nationwide
in 13oz. and 19oz. squeeze bottles, and 15oz. and 30oz. jars, starting
at a suggested retail price of $2.98.
The launch of Heinz Mayonnaise will be supported by a
comprehensive marketing campaign, beginning today, to drive mass
awareness across TV, digital, print, sampling, and PR. The commercial
and digital videos can be viewed here.
