SALT LAKE CITY — Brace yourselves, Heinz’ “Mayochup” is happening — but it may not exactly have that name.
The condiment empire announced Monday it’s pushing forward its plan at putting the mayonnaise and ketchup love child on store shelves in the near future, but opened it up to its audience for name suggestions.
The announcement comes after 55 percent of more than 900,000 voters in a Twitter poll urged the company for the product last week. Of course, that poll also enraged many Utahns who pointed out that ketchup and mayonnaise is a culinary icon known as fry sauce in the Beehive State.
Many took to Twitter to point that out, and that name also popped up several times in the suggestions for Mayochup’s replacement name Monday.
