Ketchup naturally has a nice, like sweet flavor.

Do you wanna try mine?
Yeah it's very, texture wise and looking like
the visual, it's all the same.
- [Alix] Diggin' in?
- Digging in.
- (giggling) Mm, I got a nice piece of bacon in this one.
- It's so nostalgic.
- It all just really works well together,
you wouldn't think like mushrooms and bacon and ketchup.
- Mm-hmm, right.
We love like kind of sweet, tangy combination.
- It's really good.
Maybe I need to broaden my ketchup horizons.
