Chicago To Get First Taste Of Heinz 'Mayochup'

CHICAGO, IL — The Windy City was chosen as the winner of a Twitter vote to be the first to try Heinz's new "Mayochup," which contains a mixture of mayonnaise and the condiment you dare not ask for on your Chicago dog. That's right — ketchup and mayonnaise are now united, thanks to an April Twitter poll by Heinz asking if the company should release the combo condiment.

When votes pointed to "yes," Heinz announced a contest this week to decide which city would be the first to get "Mayochup" in stores. Chicago was declared the winner Wednesday.

Because of this, Heinz is bringing the "Mayochup" Food Truck to 150 S. Wacker Drive at 11 a.m. Friday so Chicagoans can sample the sauce before other cities.

Want #mayochup in stores? 500,000 votes for “yes” and we’ll release it to you saucy Americans.

If the combination of ketchup and mayo sounds familiar and you think you've seen it before, you'd be right.
