An episode of the 1990s sitcom Friends is the inspiration behind The Kraft Heinz Company's first-ever squeezable bottle of their Homestyle Turkey Gravy.
The backstory:
Heinz says the inspiration comes from the Dec. 10, 1998 episode "The One with Ross's Sandwich" which finds David Schwimmer's character, Ross Geller, upset when a co-worker steals his "Moist Maker" leftover Thanksgiving sandwich featuring turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and a gravy-soaked slice of bread in the middle. The sandwich's name comes from the gravy-soaked middle slice, which keeps the sandwich from being dry, and it became an iconic pop culture item after Ross had a meltdown when a coworker stole it from the office fridge.
What they're saying:
"A social media favorite among millennial sitcom-lovers, the Moist Maker epitomized an obsession with holiday food crafted with care and detail. Now, Heinz is celebrating the fans who share an irrational love of the nostalgic sandwich by providing the key to a delicious day-after sandwich: Heinz Leftover Gravy," said Jamie Mack, Associate Director of Brand Communications for Heinz U.S.
What you can do:
Gravy lovers can order a jar of 12oz. Heinz Homestyle Turkey Gravy on Walmart.com, and receive a limited-edition Heinz Leftover Gravy Kit featuring a Leftover Gravy squeezable bottle and a recipe card for the "Ultimate Thanksgiving Leftovers Sandwich" while supplies last.
