New "Spicy Ketchup" coming to Whataburger

I was just sent this Whataburger advertising image for "Spicy Ketchup" :

Whataburger's New Spicy Ketchup

 I don't know where the image came from, but it looks like an official Whataburger marketing piece.  I can't find any official information about when Whataburger's Spicy Ketchup will be available, but I found a couple unofficial references to it being available in January 2012 (update: this is confirmed; see below).  I've asked Whataburger's PR agency for clarification.

Regardless, this is exciting news for Whataburger fans.  Whataburger's "Fancy Ketchup" has a cult following and to add this spicy version to the mix is inspired.  I'm hoping it's as good as the ketchup/srichacha mix I've had at some indy burger joints.

UPDATE:  The Spicy Ketchup ad is from Whataburger's own Twitter feed (I should have found that!) and it will be available starting January 2, 2012!

Whataburger Celebrates 60 Years Today

Today, August 3, 2010, Whataburger celebrates their 60th Anniversary.

Harmon Dobson opened up the world’s first Whataburger on Ayers Street in Corpus Christi, Texas. He had a simple goal, to serve a burger so big that it took two hands to hold and so good that with one bite customers would say, “What a burger!”

In celebration of their anniversary, you can get a free Whataburger by wearing orange to a Whataburger restaurant today, August 3, between 5pm-8pm.

Note:  As was pointed out in the comments, I mistakenly put the date in this post as Aug. 6.  It has been corrected.  The anniversary and the free burger promotion are August 3, 2010.
