Food brand Wattie’s has announced that it is launching a tomato sauce ice cream – and we’re not sure whether to laugh or cry. The limited edition product will feature french vanilla ice cream with a tomato sauce ripple running through the middle – so you will get a tangy, tomato explosion with every bite.
Wattie’s announced the launch on Facebook which promptly caused an explosion of responses – mostly repulsed by the thought of the unusual concoction. The Facebook post has now received more than 21,000 comments and over 3,000 shares.
‘Just because you can doesn’t mean you should,’ one person commented. ‘This is an abomination,’ wrote another. But is this new concept considered universally disgusting? Or is it some people’s idea of heaven? We all have those friends who will put tomato sauce on literally everything. Chips, burgers, mashed potato, salad – maybe a little squirt on their ice cream is just what they have always dreamed of.
