The retailer has teamed up with beverage brand Miracle Seltzer to create a lineup of sparkling waters in four different flavors: lemon lime, green apple, sweet orange and hot dog.

7-Eleven says the hot dog flavor is a twist on one of its most beloved snacks, the Big Bite Hot Dog.

According to a news release, the Big Bite Hot Dog Sparkling Water is a liquified version of the iconic snack – ketchup and mustard flavors included.

Sweet?!

So I just had a look into it and apparently American tomato ketchup is one third sugar (corn syrup, obviously...). Ketchup is supposed to be savory, America; why do you do this?

I think it's the same here in Canada as I find most regular ketchup (especially Heinz) sickly sweet. I actually buy a no sugar added variant that's much better to me. It tastes more like tomato-infused vinegar.

Well, they also invented the hot dog lol

I've had a lot of different ketchups and don't really like any of them. The consistency is too slimy for me

Germany would like a quiet word with you. There's a reason they're called weiners and frankfurters.

Yeah because a German immigrant invented it after moving to New York lol

I'm not claiming the US invented sausage!
