UK | Aldi has given the nation the culinary contraption they never knew they needed.
Aldi has launched a limited-edition triple-sauce bottle that squeezes ketchup, mayo and mustard at the same time for one perfect, triple-hit mouthful.
The three-in-one bottle, named The Mighty Trio, launches as new research revealed just how passionate and opinionated Brits are about their condiments.
The country is fiercely divided over sauce habits. Close to a third admitted they would end a date over a condiment clash, and only half believed a relationship could survive differing sauce loyalties. Compatibility isn’t just about star signs anymore, with 40 percent saying sauce preferences reveal something about a person’s personality.
The UK is also home to a significant clique of enthusiastic sauce mixologists. Seven in ten enjoy mixing sauces, with ketchup and mayo the go-to pairing for 43 percent. Three in five (59 percent) go a step further, admitting to whipping up their own custom blends at home, with almost a quarter (24 percent) doing so “regularly”.
Unsurprisingly, almost three-quarters (72 percent) of Brits would therefore be eager to try Aldi’s new invention serving all three sauces at once.
But not everyone’s mixing it up. A quarter prefer to keep sauces separate. 15 percent say ketchup on pasta should be outlawed altogether, just one of the many ‘sauce crimes’ Brits have witnessed.
Top culinary offences include drizzling sauce on ice cream, a roast dinner, fruit and even cereal.
But the judgment doesn’t stop at what you pair your sauce with. Three in five Brits are dippers, and over two in five admitted to secretly judging how others apply sauce, whether it’s the technique, the quantity, or the “on top” approach rather than dipping.
Almost one in three have even skipped asking for a sauce at a restaurant to avoid judgment, and 42 percent of Brits have confessed to packing their own bottles when travelling or dining out.
“It’s clear Brits love their condiments, with a huge number of sauce mixologists whipping up their own concoctions at home,” said Julie Ashfield, Chief Commercial Officer at Aldi UK.
“The Mighty Trio is Aldi’s answer to the BBQ juggling act, giving you all three classic condiments in one easy squeeze. It’s fun, practical and the ultimate hack for anyone who likes their burgers, hot dogs or chips with a little bit of everything.”
