“From art to coins, stamps, and more, collecting culture has become a popular practice with devoted fanbases,” says Devaang Sibal, Brand Manager, HEINZ Away from Home. “But perhaps the most unexpected collectible is the HEINZ packet. An iconic on-the-go staple, HEINZ fans everywhere collect packets in their homes, bags, and cars, to ensure they are always on hand in case of a condiment conundrum. With the Saucemerica Collection, we are excited to pay homage to this fan behavior with the unique, hometown pride-evoking designs and multiple chances for fans to win prizes.”

Each Saucemerica packet features either HEINZ Ketchup, Yellow Mustard, Real Mayonnaise, Ranch, BBQ Sauce, Tartar Sauce, or Simply Ketchup, and the packet designs draw inspiration from the most beloved dishes from each of the fifty states. From a Maryland Crab Cake-inspired Tartar Sauce packet to Texas Brisket BBQ Sauce, HEINZ carefully paired each state with the condiment variety that best enhances the dish spotlighted.

Through the end of August, fans can collect the Saucemerica packets at restaurants, drive-thrus, theme parks, movie theaters, stadiums, and more across the country. To ensure consumers can collect as many unique packs as possible all summer long, every participating operator will receive a mix of states throughout June, July, and August, depending on which of the seven HEINZ condiment varieties they feature on their menu.
