Colorado Loves Dipping Diversity

Back in 2023, Heinz Ketchup decided to create a Heinz Saucemerica campaign that featured a unique sauce packet for all 50 states. Some states got ketchup, others mayo or mustard, BBQ sauce, ranch, and even tarter sauce.

Colorado was assigned ketchup and a 'Bison Burger' appeared on our state packet as a regional food that would pair well with ketchup. Do you know people are losing their minds for these collectible packets on eBay, and are charging big bucks now that they are hard to find? Don't miss this link either.
