Is it disgusting, a rip-off product or just the thing you have been waiting for all your life?

Those are just some of the social media reactions to the possible launch of a new Heinz condiment called Mayochup.

Heinz is allowing consumers to vote on whether this new product — a pre-made blend of mayonnaise and ketchup in one container — should be sold in the United States.

From now through April 15, you can vote in a Twitter poll, and if the poll closes with 500,000 yes votes, Americans will have their chance. Currently the product is only available in some Middle East Gulf states.

"We’ve seen a fierce debate on Twitter, with over 200,000 already voting yes," said Nicole Kulwicki, Director of Marketing for Heinz. "It’s looking like Heinz Mayochup has a strong chance of launching."

But not all the reactions have been positive with people on social media. Here's how some people are responding:

This is disgusting

This is a rip-off: It's already a product

Heinz acknowledged the references to other products. "The next question at hand is whether we call this delicious blend Mayochup or Fry Sauce," Kulwicki said. "We know our friends in Idaho and Utah are passionate about Fry Sauce, and we’ve seen lots of other great suggestions online, so if we get to 500K YES votes, we will be giving the nation a say in our final name."
