Personalized sauce dispenser Heinz Remix is coming to restaurants, stadiums, and movie theaters in early 2024, perhaps sooner. Using a touchscreen, you select one of four “bases” (ketchup, ranch, BBQ, or Heinz 57) and add tweaks and spices to customize the flavor. The machine is capable of 200 combinations, with names like Jalapeño Ketchup and Smoky Chipotle Mango BBQ. Meanwhile, it feeds data on customer preferences to Heinz, which will use it to inform future recipes.
