Heinz Trade-Up in Dubai| From sachet clutter to ketchup upgrade
18-4-2025
Heinz Trade-Up in Dubai is tackling a common household dilemma: the overflowing kitchen drawer filled with unused ketchup sachets. A recent survey by Heinz revealed that 70% of UAE residents have unwanted ketchup sachets at home, with nearly half admitting to having 5–10 sachets scattered around. Over half of the respondents described this as frustrating, and 60% said they’d be more likely to use the sachets if they were Heinz.
We think a decluttering of ketchup sachets – or any other sachet – might work here in Europe as well! 😉 It’s a fun variation on the Heinz Pickle Switch that stood in Rotterdam.

Beet Great | Natural Energy Soda
23-1-2025
Beet Great is a natural energy drink made from red beetroot juice and pomegranate juice. Red beetroot provides more energy. Many (top) athletes have known this for years and drink beetroot juice to improve their performance. Research has shown that beetroot causes your muscles to acidify less quickly during exercise and that your body also recovers faster after exercise. Only benefits you would think, but even avid athletes often drink it with their noses turned up because they don’t like the flavour of red beetroot juice. Beet Great changes that! As they say: 100% delicious, the energy comes from the beetroot, vegan, gluten-free and no caffeine added.
