Advantages: Fun, kids love it,

Disadvantages: Sickly green colour is off - putting for adults

The kids love this one! Who would have come up with an idea for green ketchup? Only Heinz, that's who! And without losing any of the flavour that we all know and love.
I must add though, the very bright green colour (although a favourite with my granddaughter whose favourite colour is - you've guessed it - green) does not do well in those recipes that I add ketchup too. Everything turns green. Sure it tastes the same but you still have to get over the "green eggs and ham" mentality. Food has to look appealing or people won't get to the taste!

I must also say, this is a fun admittance to the ketchup realm, and they now have purple available in the USA as well. Kids love yet another excuse to "play" with their food, and will have a lot of fun dipping chips into green ketchup. If it gets them to eat their dinner, give them green ketchup with everything! Green baked beans? Eggs and bacon with green ketchup - not so far off the "green eggs and ham" story.
You also have to watch the kids with the newly designed squeezy plastic bottle - a firm squeeze will reward you with an awful lot of ketchup. Mums take note for younger kids. If you don't want the kitchen covered in green, you squeeze it for the tots.

I'd like to see this in a reduced sugar/salt version so's we can keep our kids on the lower end of those two additives.
Adults may decide the colour puts them off and will stick with the old red ketchup. But hey, isn't that what we oldies are supposed to do anyway? Stay with the old faithful?

Summary: green ketchup, kids love it!
