Anniversary Automotive Condiments

The VW Gewürz Ketchup Brand is Arriving in the US

— September 30, 2024 — Marketing
The VW Gewürz Ketchup Brand is being brought to the US market thanks to Volkswagen of America to help avid automotive fans alike try out the signature condiment. The product is launching into the US market to coincide with Volkswagen's 75th anniversary and is perfect for automotive enthusiasts to try on their choice of meal. The ketchup comes packaged in a tall glass bottle complete with green labels that communicate its origin, but also help to create a contrast against the bright red formula of the condiment.

Eager fans looking to score a bottle of the sauce from VW Gewürz Ketchup Brand can do so at ChainFEST in Los Angeles on October 5, 2024 as the first batch has already sold out.
