Super Bowl Ketchup, Heinz Style

Posted on March 6th, 2009. Written by Emmett Jones.

How much would you pay for a bottle of “Super Bowl” Ketchup?  What about six bottles?  If you said “around $35 dollars”, Heinz has been thinking about you.

The Post-Gazette has more information,

…picking up a “Six-Pack” of 14-ounce, classic Heinz ketchup bottles in a cardboard holder, just released by the H.J. Heinz Co. According to a news release, sponsor of Heinz field, the pack of six bottles, each with a label commemorating a Super Bowl win, sells for $35.

You also can purchase individual 2008 Super Bowl bottles for $6 each. They’ll be available until the next football season at myheinz.com (plus shipping, which adds $8 to $15 to local orders). The site also allows you to order Heinz products with custom labels.

You also can pick up the six-packs and bottles at Heinz gift shops at the Heinz 57 Center (357 Sixth Ave., Downtown) and at Prime Outlets, Grove City.

Novelty items have reached a new standard.  Ketchup…with the Steelers logo and the year of the Super Bowl.  So simplistic, and yet somehow still almost $6 a bottle.  Heinz, capitalizing on America’s seemingly never ending demand for ketchup, is actually still thriving in the recession.  Combine that with a rabid Steelers fan base, and Heinz may have a pretty impressive product on their hands.
