Heinz pokes fun at McDavid’s fear of ketchup

Heinz Ketchup is trying to win over Connor McDavid with 97 varieties.

The company posted a picture on their Canadian Instagram account poking fun at the Edmonton Oilers captain’s phobia of the condiment.

The post featured a picture of Heinz’s famous glass ketchup bottle with “97 varieties” written on the neck of the bottle, in a nod to McDavid’s number, instead of the usual “57 varieties.”

“How about now, Connor?” the ketchup company wrote above the bottle.

During an episode of Amazon’s “FACEOFF: Inside the NHL,” McDavid’s wife, Lauren, revealed that the Oilers star is afraid of ketchup.

McDavid addressed his fear in an interview with P.K. Subban on ESPN after the Oilers game against the Philadelphia Flyers on Oct. 15.

“The ketchup thing is a funny thing,” McDavid said in the interview. “My brother and I, both, just grew up that way. It’s more of a phobia. I wish I could tell you more.”
