Replace someone’s bedside lube with this.
Or the office hand sanitizer
Or the office lube
Flavored lubes have gone too far
You’re joking, but if they actually made a flavored lube like this I bet it’d sell.
Ketchup contains vinegar. Probably don’t want that down there…
Yeah, it’d obviously need to be made of other ingredients. The sugar content would also likely cause some issues.
I was gonna say, I’m not sure there’s non-acidic ingredients that have the same acidic/sour taste.
But there are these bubblegums that are extremely sour, so I guess, we do have a way of triggering those taste receptors without melting away your jaw. 🫠
Everything sour is acidic, the sour taste comes from the hydrogen ions (protons) donated by acids blocking the potassium ions leaving your taste buds, this creates a depolarization and opens voltage gated calcium channels, the influx of which causes neurotransmitter release. Sour gums/candies don’t contain Acetic acid (vinegar) but instead Citric acid and sometimes Malic acid.
Ahhhh Pepsi clear vibes. No regrats.
Quick, somebody call LA Beast!
Have A Good Daaaayyyy
You mean no ragrets?
No rugrats
This is nonsense of course. The colour of food makes a surprising difference in how palatable we find it.
This would never sell and heinz knows it :) even if it tasted the same.

Ginger beer/ale is a thing. Not quite sure how it would interact with the mountain dew, but I could certainly see trying it.
You must not have been alive for the 90s when we had neon gel flavoring to draw on our oatmeal with and random balls floating in a very thick soft drink and a marvelous thing called a Gelooze.

I remember the green one, I tried to eat it but my brain wouldn’t let me.
Here in Australia we sold Burger sauce hot cross buns with melted cheese and pickles on it… Companies will make anything just to see if we will eat it.
I’m definitely curious enough that I have to try these abominations. It’s fun
Gimmicks to sell empty, bland calories, so we don’t realize people can be heavy and literally starving to death.
This would never sell and heinz knows it
Yay, teletubby vomit!
This would never sell and heinz knows it
And they know that, because they already did kinda try it:

Mmm tomato flavored hand sanitizer
While this was an interesting mock-up, the clear “ketchup’s” viscosity is far too thick.
Just when I thought ketchup couldn’t get any more disgusting
Like it wasn’t bad enough already and now it looks like lube? Ugh!
Hey! Lube is tasty
Jesus fuckin Christ
