The retailer has teamed up with beverage brand Miracle Seltzer to create a lineup of sparkling waters in four different flavors: lemon lime, green apple, sweet orange and hot dog.

7-Eleven says the hot dog flavor is a twist on one of its most beloved snacks, the Big Bite Hot Dog.

According to a news release, the Big Bite Hot Dog Sparkling Water is a liquified version of the iconic snack – ketchup and mustard flavors included.

My most sincere apologies, but WHAT DID YOU SAY?

Not who you're replying to but....I didn't think I liked hot dogs until I ate a Chicago hot dog and realized it was just the ketchup making it slimy and sweet. Ketchup on hotdogs is nasty lol

Sweet?!

So I just had a look into it and apparently American tomato ketchup is one third sugar (corn syrup, obviously...). Ketchup is supposed to be savory, America; why do you do this?

I think it's the same here in Canada as I find most regular ketchup (especially Heinz) sickly sweet. I actually buy a no sugar added variant that's much better to me. It tastes more like tomato-infused vinegar.

Look in the "ethnic" or "imported" food aisles, the HP sauce in the little glass bottles. If you were a kid in the 80s or 90s, you might well have been raised on English HP, not Canadian. They are similar but not the same at all, it took me back right to grade three when i bought the import accidentally. It's all white vinegar and orange juice concentrate in the bullshit canadian version, vs malt vinegar and rye flour and fermented fish paste stuff. Anyways, I don;t know why these companies are happy to change a recipe where everyone in the fucking country has it on their table, and then a few years later, like no one buys it anymore and over time we even forget why it was so popular to begin with.
