Packaged in a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >convenient squeezable bottle similar<\/a> to Heinz Ketchup and Mustard, this gravy aims to enhance the popular post-Thanksgiving meal tradition of making sandwiches from leftovers. The product was inspired by a famous Thanksgiving episode of the 90s sitcom &#8220;Friends,&#8221; where Ross&#8217;s special leftover sandwich, featuring an extra gravy-soaked slice of bread called the &#8220;Moist Maker,&#8221; became a memorable plot point. Heinz promotes itself as the leading gravy brand in the U.S. and highlights that 94% of Americans make leftover sandwiches after Thanksgiving, with nearly half considering gravy a must-have ingredient. The company is offering a promotional kit that includes the squeezable gravy bottle and a recipe card for the &#8220;ultimate Thanksgiving Leftovers Sandwich.&#8221; The launch has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wendys-drops-new-frosty-for-limited-time-as-seasonal-dessert-hits-menu\/\" title=\"Wendy&#039;s Introduces Limited-Time Seasonal Frosty Flavor\">garnered mixed reactions online<\/a>, ranging from enthusiasm to skepticism about squeezing gravy from a bottle.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>For some people, the best part of Thanksgiving dinner is the turkey.<\/p>\n<p>For others, it&rsquo;s the pie.<\/p>\n<p>But for many of us, the absolute best part of the holiday happens after the big Thanksgiving meal, when the leftovers are pulled out and the sandwich-making begins.<\/p>\n<p>Those people who want to fast-forward to the sandwich course are the target audience for a new product from the folks who brought you Heinz Ketchup and Heinz Mustard.<\/p>\n<p>Meet Heinz Leftover Gravy.<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} else { \t\t\t\tdocument.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function() { \t\t\t\t\tfunction loadScript(src) { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst script=document.createElement(\"script\");
