If anything has been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt in the technological age in which we live, it’s that the internet does not forget. No matter what the issue, no matter how small the minutiae, someone will always come through with receipts. Heinz is learning this the hard way on the heels of the introduction of their latest product — mayo fused with ketchup, a.k.a “mayochup.”

They’ve yet to launch the new product, but they ran a poll on whether or not they should release it in the United States.

People gave enough “yes” votes to release it here, but not before reminding Heinz they weren’t the first to create a mayonnaise and ketchup concoction and bottle it.

Utah was especially aggravated about this massive, galvanizing issue.

The Latin community, too, had its grievances with Heinz claiming the sauce idea as an original.

For some, the name “mayochup” doesn’t sound very appetizing for something a human being would consume.

Some weren’t sold on the idea, but were willing to give it a try.

For some, it was a non-negotiable no.

The good people over at Heinz took all the criticism in stride, writing back to both the lovers and haters in good humor, and never getting too saucy with anyone.
