The catalog already has ketchup candy canes, and they are one of the few product pages that shows up in Search Console at all. These are the savoury sibling: six canes, yellow and white, chicken-soup flavour, same maker, same $9.50, same stocking size. The box art is a chick in a bowl, so the flavour is not a surprise you spring on someone after they have committed. It is printed on the front. That honesty is why it works as Secret Santa. The recipient can see the joke and still has to decide whether to taste it, which becomes the room's entertainment. Nothing here is a claim about how convincing the flavour is. The product is candy canes that say they taste like soup, sold next to candy canes that say they taste like ketchup.
