It's surprisingly easy to accumulate a stockpile of ketchup packets from restaurants, and rather than letting them go forgotten and unused, Hellmann's launched a first-of-its-kind #MayoExchange. In partnership with the teams at nationwide partnership with No1 Currency, Thomas Exchange Global, and Currency Exchange Corporation exchange bureaus, Hellmann's is allowing mayonnaise lovers to trade in unwanted free ketchup sachets in exchange for Hellmann's mayonnaise.
For a limited time, from April 3rd to the 10th, Hellmann's mayo fans can head to 62 currency stores across the UK with their free ketchup sachets for an upgrade. Since exchange rates are based on supply and demand, the initial trading rate will be every two ketchups for one Hellmann's mayo sachet, and exchange rates may fluctuate. As such, daily updates will be shared on social media and in-store currency boards.
