Magnifisauce by Trader Joe's was created as an all-in-one condiment inspired by "some famous condiments that are not widely available and that do, in other places, require the purchase of other comestibles." The hybrid condiment taps into the flavors of mustard, mayonnaise, relish and ketchup and it is said to have a subtle tanginess from vinegar that's accented by spices.
Sold in a squeezable bottle, Magnifisauce is prepared with slow food ingredients and provides the essence of a fast food experience. The 9.5-ounce squeeze bottle can be found within Trader Joe's condiment section for just $2.99.
Over the last few years, hybrid condiments have become increasingly popular as consumers seek out adventurous new flavor experiences.
