Volkswagen Gewürz Ketchup: The U.S. Release Sells Out in Record Time!

September 25th, 2024 by

Here at VW of Duluth, we’re used to seeing excitement around Volkswagen’s innovative cars and tech, but this time, the buzz was around something completely different: Volkswagen Ketchup. That’s right—the legendary ketchup that has been a staple in Germany for decades finally made its way to the U.S., and the demand was insane. Released for a limited run, Volkswagen Ketchup sold out in less than five hours!

A Brief History of Volkswagen Gewürz Ketchup

Volkswagen Gewürz Ketchup isn’t new to fans of the brand in Europe. It was first introduced in the 1970s, initially created to accompany the delicious sausages served in the VW factory cafeterias in Wolfsburg, Germany. Over the years, the ketchup has gained a cult following, beloved for its sweet, tangy flavor that pairs perfectly with bratwurst, fries, and just about anything else.

The release of Volkswagen Ketchup in the U.S. is a nod to the growing love for this quirky and delicious piece of VW history. Enthusiasts across the country were ready to pounce on this rare opportunity, and clearly, the excitement was palpable.

Selling Out in Record Time

The U.S. release was announced with great fanfare, but even we at VW of Duluth didn’t anticipate just how quickly it would sell out. In less than five hours, every single bottle of the limited-edition Volkswagen Ketchup was snatched up by eager fans. It’s safe to say this might be one of the most unexpected and fastest-selling Volkswagen products ever!

Volkswagen fans took to social media to celebrate (and, in some cases, lament) their successful or missed ketchup purchases. If you didn’t get a chance to order a bottle, don’t worry—there’s hope that Volkswagen will release more soon, considering the overwhelming demand. Keep an eye on Volkswagen’s official site for any updates on future releases.

One of Our Team Snagged a Bottle!

Here’s where things get even more exciting—one of our own at VW of Duluth was quick enough to grab a bottle during the rush! When it arrives, they’ll be giving it a try, and we’ll be sure to post an update on their verdict. Stay tuned to our blog and Instagram page for the full taste test review!

What Makes Volkswagen Ketchup So Special?

So, what’s the deal with this ketchup? Why are people clamoring for it? Volkswagen Ketchup stands out from your standard ketchup due to its unique blend of sweetness and spice, creating a balance that’s perfect for bratwurst but versatile enough for all kinds of meals. Made with high-quality ingredients and a recipe that’s been refined for over 50 years, it’s a must-try for any foodie—or VW fan.
