    This is ketchup leather. It’s not a new idea; it’s been around since fancy burger places with wood walls and exposed edison light bulbs started to be a thing in the early 2010s.

    It’s just dehydrated ketchup. It makes ketchup more of a topping than a condiment and helps prevent the problem of everything squirting out of the other side of the bun when you take a bite.

      Besides your introduction you make a fairly solid case for this product. Have you tried it?

      Sounds to me it would actually work very nicely on a well made restaurant burger (in contrast to fast food burgers), which tend to have juicy meat and therefor have less need for extra lubrication.

        I’ve tried it. The ketchup flavor gets concentrated. It’s actually a neat idea and not an abomination against nature like a lot of the comments here. There are plenty of recipes online if you want to make your own at home.

        The abomination is how Hellman’s had to dumb it down and call it “ketchup slices”.

        The trick is, they don’t use ketchup in restaurant burgers. Not good ones at least…
