Dieline’s Friday Wrap-Up: Ketchup Fraud, Ice-T, and a New Pepsi Logo

Published

If it feels like April Fools Day is coming early this year, you’re not alone. This past week saw the release of weed-infused ketchup and breakfast ramen, two hand-to-god genuinely real products you can purchase if you so desire (and we don’t even need to remind you of Sunny D Hard Seltzer and Hidden Valley Ranch Ice Cream).

Maybe it’s because AFD officially falls on a Saturday, and brands know they won’t get as many eyeballs popping since no one rolls on Shabbos. But it is kind of a drag, especially in years past when we’ve thrown up plenty of fake stories for shits and giggles—meat-based vegetables or non-alcoholic hard seltzers, anyone?

Regardless, we’ve seen what some folks have cooked up for Saturday, and we’ll have a nice wrap-up waiting for you on Monday morning.
