Spice or No Spice?

I was recently sent some Heinz ketchup products to test out. I'm not really a fan of ketchup in general. I like it on certain grilled foods, but that is about all. However, after trying these three things, I'm thinking my fries might have a new best friend.

*Disclaimer: I was sent these products in exchange for my honest opinion. I was not otherwise paid or endorsed. All opinions expressed here are from me or my family.*

So there are 3 products here. As the picture of the box they came in shows, they build in heat. We started at the lowest rung on the ladder, upon my request. I wanted to slowly work up and see how the spice would sit with me. 

First up!

The first one is the Chipotle Ketchup. My sister-in-law doesn't do spice. No heat in her food. Her taste is far to sensitive and her stomach can't handle it. All this to say - she thought this was amazingly spicy for her. On the flip side though, my husband said he barely recognized the taste of chipotle in the background. To be perfectly, I didn't taste it all! It tasted like ketchup to me. Then again, I was raised eating jalapenos from the jar by the spoonfuls... so... there is that to consider. 

Second flavor is...

Now, we have the Jalapeno Ketchup. I LOVED this one! You taste the jalapeno right away. However, it builds lightly and doesn't linger too long on your tongue. What does this mean? That I can eat a good amount of it and not ruin the experience of savoring the food I'm eating it with. This one went really good with the fries, but I would love to try it on a burger too. If I'm eating ketchup, this is the one I want! My husband agreed 100% on the description for this one. 

I found that Walmart had this one for $3.98. 

And now for the finale!

Okay guys, this is it. The Habanero Ketchup flavor. This one packs a punch immediately! You get the full habanero taste with your first bite. The heat can be intense for anyone who isn't good with hot foods. It also lingers and builds. So as you eat more, the hotness meter just goes up. This one is more for your heat-lovers, for those macho moments with the boys, or for just straight up wanna feel the burn on my food! For everyday eating, this isn't something I'd do. I kinda like enjoying the flavor of foods that I eat with my condiments, but that is just me. 

Hope you got a good understanding of these three Heinz products! Which one would you want to try? I'd love it if you would leave me a comment below and tell me. Have a great day!
