Heinz Ketchup Puzzle, the monochrome puzzle from the ketchup brand

Some brands have a colour strongly associated with their image. For Heinz American ketchup, it is dark red, and more precisely the Heinz 57 Red shade. This colour, which corresponds to Pantone 485, represents the colour of the ripe cooked tomatoes in the Heinz ketchup recipe.
And the brand has decided to play with this specificity: for the containment it has edited a puzzle of 570 pieces entirely printed in 57 Red solid and composed of pieces of very similar shapes. Heinz describes it as an absurd game lent?!


The puzzle offered on social networks was originally limited to 57 boxes, but in response to high demand, Heinz has reissued copies and is selling them online in the United States and Canada for US$24.99.
The profits will be donated to food banks.
