Remember when ketchup wasn't just red? Heinz EZ Squirt's purple ketchup was a staple on my childhood table! It didn't taste any different but food was FUN. How did we go back to boring old red? Kids today are missing out, it was like a party in a bottle. Why'd they ever stop producing it? Would do anything to have it back :(

Food coloring controversies might've had something to do with EZ Squirt’s demise. Plus, the novelty wore off and sales dropped. Tbh, today they'd probably get slammed by food bloggers for the additives. It’s a tough market for anything that strays too far from 'natural'.

I literally refused to eat anything that wasn't covered in the green EZ Squirt as a kid. Such a power move at the dinner table. Wish they'd bring it back, would make my meal prep less depressing :/

I'm all for making food fun but maybe without all the artificial dyes. I get the appeal for sure, but we have so many better options now that are healthier. Maybe if Heinz could bring it back with natural colors? 🤔

The 90s were just a wild time for food innovation, weren't they? Purple ketchup, 3D Doritos, Oreo O's cereal. EZ Squirt really takes me back. Kids these days will never understand the joy of colored condiments.

Purple ketchup? What will you people romanticize next, huh? Lead paint chips because they're sooo vintage? Lol, get with the program, color doesn't change the fact that it's still goopy tomato sugar paste.😂

EZ Squirt was legendary, but I gotta point out that Heinz did attempt a comeback with 'Heinz Tomato Ketchup Blended with Balsamic Vinegar'. Just didn't hit the same, ya know? I'd sign a petition for EZ Squirt's return in a heartbeat!

Eating fries with red ketchup is such a snoozefest after growing up with purple and green. Miss those days when food didn't need to be all organic to be cool and fun. Would pay top dollar for a bottle of EZ Squirt now, even if just for the nostalgia trip!
Oh man, EZ Squirt was the bomb! Honestly think it made me eat more veggies as a kid just cuz I could drown them in purple. Companies just don't take risks like that anymore. All about playing it safe and sticking to the 'norm'. Such a shame, really.
