Good news, future Mars' explorers! When humans set up camp on the Red Planet, they will be able to flavor their foods with a Mars-grown version of Earth's best-selling red condiment.
Heinz on Monday (Nov. 8) revealed its first bottle of "Marz Edition" ketchup, a sauce made from the same premium-quality tomatoes as used in its popular Earth-based edition, but grown in the same harsh conditions as found on Mars. More than just a new label, the Mars-ready condiment is the product of two years of research conducted by a team of astrobiologists at the Florida Institute of Technology's Aldrin Space Institute.

Hunt's, in return, brought the product to life, but only as a limited edition, quickly all-claimed offer today (Nov. 17):
Late night TV issued a challenge, and today our ketchup charts a course for Uranus! The first 100 responses to this tweet will get a bottle of Hunt's Uranus Ketchup and a stellar t-shirt. Good luck!
