It's actually incredible how far we've strayed from God's light. We deserve this.

[-] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

That tracks. Heinz ketchup on it's own has a lot of sugar in it already.

[-] abbiistabbii 2 points 1 day ago

I would say "Britain No" but Heinz is an American company.

[-] ImADifferentBird 2 points 1 day ago

And apparently they are also selling it here, at Smoothie Kings in Atlanta, Chicago, and New York.

I'm kinda glad it's not where I live, because it's exactly the kind of trainwreck I would want to try against my better judgment.

Add vodka and it becomes a Sunday morning special.

Ha, I was literally about to comment about Bloody Marys.

how did they beat v8 or snapple to this idea? I thought they were making drinkable vegetable sludge a long time ago

[-] Mesophar@pawb.social 6 points 2 days ago

v8 had v8 Splash and v8 Fusion since at least the late 90s, though I think they might be discontinued now? But it was tomato/carrot juice with berries and fruits mixed in.

[-] Mjpasta710@midwest.social 7 points 1 day ago

V8 fusion still exists in the states.

[-] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Hmm, good to know, I definitely liked that stuff in the early '00s.

Sharing what you think versus what you know is a huge problem of information literacy on the Internet and you are a part of it

You know you could have went and fact checked it yourself and then hey, you know a cool new fact yourself and you could even post a comment here corroborating him or correcting him if he is wrong. Instead you decided to be a dick though. Oh, that's literally your name..

[-] sad_detective_man@leminal.space 3 points 2 days ago

hmm, yeah guess they can't ever try frozen smoothies if they discontinue first.

Asia's been doing ketchup flavored sweets for a while, it might surprise you. It's literally a sugary tomato vinegar paste as is, you realize.

[-] Kernal64@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 days ago

Just because some people in some part of the world are doing horrifying shit doesn't mean we all need to do horrifying shit.

Don't yuck other peoples yum

Touch grass weirdo

[-] Bonus@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

There's a good reason it doesn't say they're mixing fruit with vegetables.

[-] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 days ago

Hey, I'm making an all fruit smoothie ~(cucumber and olive)~, you want one?

[-] hansolo@lemmy.today 7 points 2 days ago

Oh! Yeah, but as some tomato and pumpkin, too!

[-] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 days ago

I've made plenty of smoothies with v8 as a base, and it's really not that bad if you do it right.

[-] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

V8 doesn't have nearly as much sugar as ketchup does.

To be exact, V8 has 1g/oz. Ketchup has 8g/oz.

It's not the tomato flavour I'm worried about with this smoothie.

[-] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Someone alert Justin McElroy. This is prime Munch Squad material.

[-] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Was listening to this week's munch squad while reading this...

I know better than to ask why, but why? Was there a public outcry for ketchup smoothies Heinz decided to respond to?

[-] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 4 points 2 days ago

Ketchup is already a fruit smoothie.

[-] RobotZap10000@feddit.nl 2 points 2 days ago

This is what happens when a time traveler steps on a twig.
