Is That Heinz?

Heinz printed the exact red of its ketchup along the edge of the label, so diners in Turkey could tell when a restaurant had refilled a Heinz bottle with something else.

Is That Heinz?

The challenge

Some small restaurants in Turkey refill Heinz bottles with cheaper ketchup and serve it as the original.

The idea

Wunderman Thompson Turkey matched the shade of Heinz Tomato Ketchup and added it as a colour strip on the label. If the sauce and the strip don't match, it isn't Heinz. The bottles went out to restaurants, an Instagram filter let people check the colour at the table, and the launch posts showed 'fake' ketchup in restaurants with the question 'Is that Heinz?'
