Update, May 19, 2020: Last week, Heinz released a ketchup-inspired puzzle that's made up of 570 entirely red pieces. The viral puzzle was initially only available through an exclusive contest, but now you can purchase it online.
All you have to do is visit HeinzKetchupPuzzle.com, and you can order it for yourself for just $24.99. The puzzles will only be available while supplies last, and people online have been loving the challenge of an all-red puzzle, so if you're into it, order it ASAP.
Not only will ordering the puzzle keep you busy for a little while, but it will also do good for your community. Heinz is donating $10,700—which is the equivalent of 107,000 meal—to Feeding America. That amount represents the U.S. profits of sales from the puzzle.
Original Post, May 11, 2020: Scrolling through Instagram these days, I usually see a whole lot of banana bread, throwback photos, and completed puzzles. Hey, I'm not complaining! I'm glad people are finding simple but fun ways to stay entertained while staying inside. Heinz has also taken note of this, it seems, because the brand just made an all-red puzzle.
It goes without saying, but this puzzle is definitely not your average afternoon activity. Since all 570 pieces are the same red hue of the famous Heinz ketchup, putting it together might take a while since there are no images or lines to guide you.
I know for a fact this puzzle isn't something I'd be into (I lack patience and know it would make me hungry) but I'd assume the same people that are into the jigsaw puzzle that is made with entirely clear pieces—yes, really.
The thing about this all red Heinz puzzle is that you can't just order it online or pick it up from the store, because puzzles are so popular right now Heinz is only offering this one through an online giveaway. There are 57 puzzles available total, in honor of the 57 varieties of Heinz that is labeled on every bottle.
To win one of these torture kits puzzles, all you have to do is comment on the Heinz Instagram post showing off the red box who you would finish the puzzle with. It looks like a few people in the comments section have already won theirs, so it's unclear how many of the 57 are still available.
Either way, you might as well comment and see if you get lucky. After all, if you get your hands on a puzzle it'll keep you busy for a couple days at least!
