Heinz Ketchup today announced their fifth annual Ketchup Creativity Contest. Participants will be asked to re-imagine the iconic ketchup bottle label with the grand prize winner receiving a cash prize as well as having their artwork produced and distributed on the classic container.
Well, I’ll admit it’s not the first thing I thought of when I saw the new BK Stuffed Steakhouse Burger, but it did remind me of Eddie Murphy’s classic sketch about a McDonalds burger. His ‘house-burger’ that he described had peppers and onions integrated throughout the patty, while Burger King’s new offering “stuffs†the patty with jalapeño peppers and Cheddar cheese.
Look forward to a television campaign starting January 17.
(Psst, Burger King. This is what a stuffed burger is supposed to look like.)

It might not be the biggest news out of CES 2011, but it could be the littlest. Well, the most edible at least. Taking advantage of the electronics show to announce a new miniature product may be commonplace, but The Hershey Company usually isn’t involved.

A few years ago I witnessed an eCoupled presentation of wireless power. While the underlying tech is nothing new, the execution is probably miles away from what Nikola Tesla imagined. For example, news coming out of CES 2011… food that cooks directly in the packaging… and no, not in a microwave.
Wet wipes. Moist towelettes. Wet naps. Whatever you call them, those pre-packaged napkins soaking in solution come in handy all the time. From gas stations to fast food establishments, the real pocket squares are there to tidy up messes. And KFC is trying to say they are unnecessary for their sauceless Hot Wings. With a contest. Yes, a wet wipe contest.
For some odd reason, there doesn’t appear to be many wet wipe-themed contests, but KFC looks to change that starting today. To promote the sauceless Hot Wings, KFC is running a contest asking contestants for “ideas for repurposing KFC’s “leftover†wet wipesâ€. Finalists will be chosen to produce videos that will be available for viewing starting January 20 on KFC’s YouTube channel.
Not only will five finalists each get $500, but more importantly, they will each receive one thousand wet wipes. (Brand to be determined.)
Official press release after the jump.
