People have been mixing mayonnaise and ketchup together at home for...probably since there were mayonnaise and ketchup to mix together.
Big food manufacturing corporations have been doing the same thing. This is a Big Thing in Latin America, where it's called "mayo ketchup" or "salsa rosado," and in the Mormon Belt of Utah and Idaho, where it's called Fry Sauce. So...when I saw the friendly bottle of Heinz Mayochup - which, apparently, is pissing off a lot of right-wing snowflakes - I had to have it.
My opinions follow:
1. Color. It is a pleasant salmon hue. Fortunately, it doesn't taste like salmon.
2. Packaging. The pre-launch photos of this stuff display it in a bottle probably popular in the Middle East, where they started selling it first. In the US, it comes in the same bottle as Heinz ketchup, with a different label. The cutline on this product is "saucy sauce." It is indeed saucy.
3. Ingredients. Contains Heinz ketchup and Heinz mayonnaise. No issues there.
4. Flavor. Very mild and pleasant. If I was the food scientist who came up with the Official Heinz Formula for Mayochup I would have put a few drops of Tabasco in it...of course, I tend to put a few drops of Tabasco in everything. No matter. It has a flavor anyone can enjoy.
5. Consistency. This is where Mayochup stands apart from its competition. It is VERY thick. It's thicker than either of the things that are in it. It's also thicker than all its competitors. It's nearly as thick as caulking compound. You can put it on a hamberder, turn the hamberder upside down, and not have the Mayochup fall off. It is a marvel of engineering.
Recommendation: get some. It is very nice.

(205,237 posts)And Russian dressing remains my favorite to this day. I used to go to summer camp and we had cookouts on Saturdays. One time my cabin was in charge of getting things ready (the cook had Saturdays off) and I made that kind of dressing instead of the usual oil and vinegar that soaked the salad and every scrap of salad disappeared! But I was still told not to do that again.
