The sriracha craze just keeps on coming. It all started with the explosion in popularity of Huy Fong Foods' original version of the chili hot sauce, and pretty soon we had sriracha-inspired Taco Bell and Pizza Hut menus, sriracha-drizzled sushi, and even sriracha beer. Heinz is finally getting the spice kick, and has released the Heinz tomato ketchup blended with sriracha flavor. We think it’s about time that ketchup spiced things up for the sake of a better burger.

Heinz describes the new product as “an exciting twist on a classic that maintains the recognizable taste and consistency of ketchup, with an added kick from spicy chili pepper and garlic flavors.”

“Building off of our successful line of flavored ketchups, fans told us that they would love another bold take on their favorite condiment,” Joseph Giallanella, brand manager of Heinz tomato ketchup said in a statement. “The new offering adds a new kick to your favorite foods and recipes, pairing well with cheeseburgers, French fries and hot dogs, and is the perfect flavor boost for chicken and eggs.”

Heinz Sriracha Ketchup is in stores now.

1. This fucks up everything. Sriracha was already known as hipster ketchup.

Now this product is hipster ketchup ketchup, which is redundant.

Love hot stuff.

I'll pass.

6. It would be great on macaroni and cheese

Unfortunately I will never sample such a dish ever again now that I have the course of a permanent low sodium diet.

7. The Huy Fong Sriracha is the only one worth it, everything else is a cheap imitation.

8. I tried it for the first time several years ago...

...I've had Tabasco in the past, and shortly before trying Sriracha discovered Frank's Red Hot, which is the normal amount of heat I prefer. I bought a bottle of the Huy Fong and after the first few bites thought the heat was a little higher than the Frank's, and then it set in. It's not "ghost pepper" territory but definitely not for people whose sense of adventure is getting the "hot" salsa packets at Taco Bell.

9. I'd try it, but...

...Heinz still puts HFCS in their flavored Ketchups. I wish they'd just put sugar in all their varieties like they do with their Organic and their Simply Heinz.

10. never heard of it. thinking: meh. n/t

11. IDGAF.

Allergic to tomatoes and can't handle spicy food. Nope.

12. IDGAF for me.

Because while I do have a bottle of ever-lasting sriracha in my fridge (I don't use enough to get through a bottle/jar in less than a few years) I also don't buy ketchup. I have no use for it

Now, I do absolutely love the chipotle sauce by Tobasco brand. That stuff is amazing!
