(UNDATED) - What do you get when you combine mayonnaise and ketchup?
A debate on Twitter surfaced last week after Heinz launched a poll asking Americans if they'd like a pre-made combination of the condiments called Mayochup.
Heinz will bring the product, which is currently available in parts of the Middle East, to the United States if the poll closes on Sunday with 500,000 votes in its favor.
Heinz announced Wednesday that after half a million votes on Twitter, they're bringing the concoction stateside. And because no one knows what to call it. The company is opening it up to the public to come up with something better - feel free to tweet your suggestions at @HeinzKetchup_US until a more formalized system is in place.
Here's to never having to squeeze two bottles again.
Some respondents like the idea of Mayochup. But others say it's been around as Fry Sauce in Utah and Salsa Rosada in Latin America. Then there are those who say the combo is just short of relish from becoming a salad dressing or special sauce.
The debate also includes the name Mayochup. Heinz says it's committed to putting the final name up for a vote.
