I've tried it once and it was disgustingly sweet. I'm unsure if the praise is just a meme or it's another entry on the long list of typical german food I don't like despite living there.

Like all ketchup, some are too sweet, some are more tart. Find the ketchup you like, and add curry powder to it.

Out of all the curry ketchups you can get in Germany, Hela has the highest sugar content (source: me comparing the labels in the supermarket)

I love it 🍬

Hela ketchup is just really fucking sweet for some reason. It is also one of the worse Gewürzketchups I had, the supermarket brands usually are way less sweet and have an actual difference in the flavour of their different products.
