The bottles of Heinz Bacon Ketchup and Heinz Pickle Ketchup - which were dubbed perfect for BBQ season - caught the eye of many.
The large sauces were marked just £2.49, however buyers have left mixed reviews.
Imagine being in a rush and picking up this monstrosity instead of the original, no thanks.
Disappointed shopper
One wrote: "It looks like ketchup. It tastes like pickles were mixed in ketchup.
"I like pairing this best with meat cutlets, kababs and of course fries.

"The pickle flavor is not overwhelming, I think most people would enjoy it."
Someone else commented: "AHHHH I want the bacon one!"
A third penned: "I have both the Pickle and Smokey Bacon flavour - they are extremely good.
"The pickle ketchup tastes like McDonald's ketchup and the Smokey Bacon one, tastes well... like smoked ketchup, its quite nice.

"It's an alternative to Barbecue sauce without the strong after taste."
"The pickle one is sooo beautiful!," agreed a fourth.
But, someone else commented: "Rank."
Another wrote: "Imagine being in a rush and picking up this monstrosity instead of the Original, no thanks."
Heinz makes major change to iconic ketchup - and it'll be available at grocery stores soon
Aldi has around 1,000 stores across the UK and you can find your nearest by using the store locator tool on the discounter's website.
Unfortunately Aldi doesn't offer online delivery so you'll have to head to store to give the sauces a go.
You'll probably need to be quick too as some items are only on Aldi shelved for a limited time, so when they're gone, they're gone.
Shoppers can also buy the pickle and bacon flavour ketchups at several other supermarkets though.
How to save on your supermarket shop
THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.
You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they've been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you'll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you'll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching "finest" or "luxury" products and instead going for "own" or value" type of lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they're misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you're on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
Iceland and Morrisons are currently selling them for the same price too.
This new launch comes just weeks after Heinz revealed a tomato ketchup pasta sauce.
The sauce comes in a proper glass jar, but with the same look and branding as a classic bottle of ketchup, and will costs £2.50 at Tesco.
Earlier this year we also revealed shoppers were only just realising the Heinz Beanz pizza had returned after being discontinued 20 years ago.

Plus, Heinz confirmed that it has discontinued one of the nation's favourites sauces and it has left shoppers fuming.
Heinz has also released new cheese and beans toasties in collaboration with Cathedral City in Iceland stores.
