Okay, green ketchup? Maybe. Purple? A reach, but not beyond the Pale.<\/p>\n

But now Heinz is messing with French Fries<\/a>. And the results aren’t pretty.<\/p>\n

The new products include French fries flavored with sour cream and chives, or cinnamon and sugar, and a new product called Crunchy Rings – basically Tater Tots with a hole in the middle.
\nThen there’s Kool Blue – a sky blue seasoned French fry, and Cocoa Crispers — a brown chocolate fry designed “for kids with a sweet tooth.”<\/p>\n

There is a God.<\/p>\n
