Is Heinz trying to be "cool" ? I never think of ketchup as being a trendsetter...

I remember we used to play street hockey back in around 1988ish and Snapple used to sell clear cola.

Clear Pepsi didn't disappear, they sold off the formula, added a tiny bit of alcohol to it and then.. ZIMA was born!

Nope, McDonald's uses a slight variation of Thousand Island dressing, assuming you mean the secret sauce they use on the Big Mac.

And yes, I also liked Crystal Pepsi (which came out in '92, and I think it was still around when I started highschool in '93). I bet a lot of people who didn't like it are saying so just because of its color.

Once when I was a kid the local library had a reading of Dr. Seuss's "Green Eggs and Ham" at which they served green scrambled eggs with ham. Looked kind of gross at first, but they tasted normal.

And a couple years ago I worked in a supermarket and saw some yellow watermelon. I've heard of other fruits and vegetables grown to have weird coloring, but I forget what they are.

But by far the best french fry (some may prefer it writen Pommes Frites) dipping sauce is made as follows:

4 Parts Mayo
2 Parts Ketchup
1 Part Mustard

A tasty treat, just don't use that crappy mustard that you get everywhere in the Northeast...that brown mustard or some dijon type crap, gotta use regular old mustard or it goofs it up and then you have to experiment and never quite get the taste right....

Yeah, but in order for it to work for Heinz it has to be cheap, good, and Translucent-Not just colored, but translucent. Although that'd be an intersting idea-Flower Power and Blue dalmation ketchup (or catsup).

Not just that, either. The Japanese have developed a
cubical watermelon.

Just in case that link doesn't last, they developed a watermelon they grow in a class cube. It's sized such that the result fits nicely in a Japanese refridgerator. It's very expensive ($80+), but I suspect that once the idea is worked on a bit over here in the States, we'll get the price down.

And we liked it.

Gahldangit! Right on. Too funny.
