The classic ketchup condiment is available to consumers in a number of packaged formats, including jars, squeezable bottles and single-serve packets, but Slice of Sauce is hoping to make the task of enhancing one's meals a mess-free endeavor with its ketchup slices.
The all-natural condiment slices are currently being introduced to the world via a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, which has already met its initial funding goals. As well as offering a unique way to add flavor to everything from sandwiches and burgers to wraps, the slices are shelf-stable and require no refrigeration, meaning that they're ideal for at-home and outdoor events like picnics and camping excursions.
Due to its unique form, the slices don't cause stickiness, sogginess or the separation of liquid that sometimes does happen with conventional ketchup bottles.
