A kickstarter group called Bo’s Fine Foods went viral this week when it unveiled its new product, “Bo’s Original Slice a Sauce.”
The “slice” is a packaged version of ketchup that resembles a slice of cheese commonly used on burgers.

“Slice of Sauce transforms the traditional condiment aisle with individual ‘slices’ of Signature Recipe Ketchup in a convenient and portable package of 8 portions,” the company explains on their Kickstarter page. “Layer it onto your burgers, sandwiches, wraps and more for a delicious burst of flavor and a perfect no-mess bite every time.”
NowThis released a video about the product on Thursday that soon garnered much response from users on Twitter, though many were repelled by the idea.

I just discovered something called a ketchup slice and it’s an absolute abomination. A crime. Just don’t do it. I don’t want a ketchup fruit roll-up or anything that resembles a processed slice of ketchup. If someone I know is using this new product, I will disown them in public. pic.twitter.com/sSf9heIbkd

But other users were a little more open to the idea.
I completely disagree

Ketchup slices *might* work on a hamburger – even if you wanted that much ketchup – but they can’t replace ketchup. You can’t mix ketchup slices into a recipe. You can’t dip anything into what is effectively tomato flavored savory fruit leather.
