Pickles have hit new levels of popularity this year, largely thanks to TikTok.

The Heinz website describes their new creation as ‘Our classic Tomato Ketchup with a delicious twist. We’ve added a pickle flavour to give it a sweet tanginess that will take your burger to the next level. 

‘But don’t just save it for the burgers! It’s just as tasty with sausages and toasties and transforms crusty bread and cheese into a pickly ploughman’s.’ 

The sauce is available to buy in Tesco stores nationwide for £3.39.

One fan of the combination tweeted: ‘We are living in the future and we don’t even know it,’ while another said: ‘Omg am I wrong for actually being excited about this?’

Others wrote: ‘Might be good,’ ‘that’s cool!’ and ‘Yum’.

But not everyone is queuing up to buy the divisive product, with one person saying: ‘Hard pass’ and another: ‘That is nasty’.

The sauce has divided opinion on social media, with people guessing whether or not they will like the strange combination

‘I’m gonna throw up just thinking about it!’ wrote another disgusted user.

One sauce lover rejoiced ‘Heinz is making pickle ketchup!!!’ and another said ‘Gimme! Please?’

A happy fan added ‘I feel like the only thing @HeinzTweets was missing was combining ketchup & pickles into one condiment. Now my life is complete’.

Some customers are sitting on the fence, unsure of whether they want to try it. 

One X user reasoned ‘I’d eat it if it’s mixed with regular ketchup but it would have to be the right combination because there’s already vinegar in ketchup so if it’s not perfect it would be too bitter.’

Others questioned ‘pickle ketchup?? hmph’ and ‘Love pickles, don’t care at all about ketchup but maybe I’d try it’.
