ALDI LAUNCHES TRIPLE-SAUCE BOTTLE AS BRITS SAUCY HABITS SPARK SUMMER DEBATE  

• Aldi launches triple-sauce bottle as new research finds Britain is a nation of condiment fanatics 

• A third of Brits would end a date over a sauce disagreement – while 84% would consider leaving a ketchup-less BBQ 

• And a saucy seven in ten Brits enjoy mixing multiple sauces, with three in five experimenting with custom blends at home 

• Aldi has designed a limited-edition triple-sauce dispenser that serves mayo, ketchup and mustard all at once 

This summer, Aldi is giving the nation the culinary contraption they never knew they needed: a limited-edition triple-sauce bottle that squeezes ketchup, mayo and mustard at the same time for one perfect, triple-hit mouthful. 

The three-in-one bottle, named The Mighty Trio, launches as new research reveals just how passionate – and opinionated - Brits are about their condiments. 

The country is fiercely divided over sauce habits. Close to a third (32%) admit they would end a date over a condiment clash, and only half (54%) believe a relationship can survive differing sauce loyalties. Compatibility isn’t just about star signs anymore, with 40% saying sauce preferences reveal something about a person’s personality.  

The nation is also home to a significant clique of enthusiastic sauce mixologists. Seven in ten enjoy mixing sauces, with ketchup and mayo the go-to pairing for 43%. Three in five (59%) go a step further, admitting to whipping up their own custom blends at home – with almost a quarter (24%) doing so “regularly”.  

Unsurprisingly, almost three quarters (72%) of Brits would therefore be eager to try Aldi’s new invention serving all three sauces at once. 

But not everyone’s mixing it up. A quarter prefer to keep sauces separate. 15% say ketchup on pasta should be outlawed altogether – just one of the many ‘sauce crimes’ Brits have witnessed. 

Top culinary offenses include drizzling sauce on ice cream (14%), a roast dinner (12%), fruit (11%) and even cereal (10%).  

TOP 10 WORST SAUCE CRIMES (According to Brits): 

• Ice cream  

• Roast dinner 

• Fruit 

• Cereal 

• Yoghurt 

• Cookies 

• Boiled egg 

• Pizza 

• Crisps 

• Peanut Butter Toast 

But the judgement doesn’t stop at what you pair your sauce with. Three in five Brits are dippers, and over two in five (45%) admit to secretly judging how others apply sauce – whether it’s the technique, the quantity, or the “on top” approach rather than dipping.  

Perhaps this explains why we don’t trust others to sauce our food – with 72% saying they feel anxious when someone else does it for them. 

Almost one in three (32%) have even skipped asking for a sauce at a restaurant to avoid judgement, and 42% of Brits have confessed to packing their own bottles when travelling or dining out. 

But the ultimate dealbreaker this summer? 84% of Brits would consider walking out of a BBQ with no ketchup. For those prepping the perfect Bank Holiday gathering, Aldi’s range of condiments, including Bramwells Tomato Ketchup (89p, 550g), Bramwells Squeezy Real Mayonnaise (95p, 500ml) and Bramwells American Style Mustard (99p, 290g), means no one will be left disappointed.  

Julie Ashfield, Chief Commercial Officer at Aldi UK, said: “It’s clear Brits love their condiments, with a huge number of sauce mixologists whipping up their own concoctions at home.  

“The Mighty Trio is Aldi’s answer to the BBQ juggling act, giving you all three classic condiments in one easy squeeze. It’s fun, practical and the ultimate hack for anyone who likes their burgers, hot dogs or chips with a little bit of everything!”
