Heinz, known for its ketchup and mustard, started selling mayo in jars in 2012. French’s, known for mustard, started making ketchup in 2015. And now Hellmann’s, known for mayo, has ketchup in 2018. Condiment War! (Spotted by Richard C at Walmart and Paul at Giant.)

It’s Frenches Mustard (Grey Poupon if you need fancy), Hellmanns Mayo and Heinz 57 Ketchup….no substitutes!
Heinz isn’t known for mustard at all. They hadn’t made mustard in many decades before coming out with what’s apparently indistinguishable from French’s in 2015. The only real advantage they have is that you can buy a picnic 3-pack of Heinz ketchup, mustard, and relish, and nobody else can currently offer something similar.
