Some people dip their french fries in a chocolate 'Frosty', but now they can dip their fries in the new ketchup smoothie. Smoothie King and Heinz have joined together to create this vile sounding 'treat'.

If tomatoes are a fruit, is ketchup a smoothie?
Heinz and Smoothie King have teamed up to create a tomato ketchup smoothie — and consumers are confused by the concoction.
The blood-red beverage — which hit select stores on Wednesday — blends açai sorbet, strawberries, raspberries, apple juice, and Heinz’s signature ketchup to create a sweet-tart taste.
Social media users reacted in shock to the announcement, with some saying they were sickened by the idea of the smoothie.
“I fear these are the end times,” one critic quipped beneath an Instagram post from Complex describing the drink.
“I want everyone involved in handcuffs,” another stated.
“This has to be one of the dirtiest things I’ve ever seen in my entire existence as a human being on this planet we call earth,” a third detractor declared. “Anyone who consumes this JAIL.”
Others insisted it must have been an April Fools’ prank being played in August.
To be fair, the ingredients sound yummy, but the ketchup imagery is gag worthy.
Reese’s and Oreo… hell yeah.

If you willingly walk out of your house, wave hello to your neighbor, get into your car, drive 3 miles, stop at 4 stoplights, park your car, walk into a Smoothie king and politely say to the 16 year old Cashier
