CUSTOMERS have been left confused after a viral TikTok showed a clear version of Heinz ketchup.
The clear condiment appeared to be offered in a UK grocery store.
TikTok user @UKSnackAttack shared the prank video of a fictitious product: Heinz Tomato Ketchup Clear.
“You won’t believe what I found in the shops today,” the TikToker said. “All of that tomato flavor and none of that ugly red color.”
The video shows a thick, clear substance squirting out of the bottle.
“Would you try?” they asked — revealing in the caption that the product was not real.
