Created for Heinz by LePub Sao Paulo, this smart bit of OOH responds to ketchup fans' repeated – as yet unanswered – requests for a bespoke emoji, with a collectible and limited-edition miniature of the iconic Heinz bottle.

Containing 10ml of actual ketchup, the bottles were displayed on mini billboards near the headquarters of the company in Los Angeles responsible for producing emojis – in an effort to nudge them into releasing a Heinz sauce emoji.

Developed using sustainable materials, the cute bottles were also dropped in burger shops and restaurants across Brazilallowing fans to have fun creating their own internet icons using the bottles.

Fun fact: emojis were invented by a Japanese telecom giant NTT DoCoMo in the late 1990s and the word, often thought to derive from emoticon, comes from Japanese 'e' meaning 'picture' and 'moji' meaning 'character'.
