This is an ad.
Edit: Sorry, this is "product placement" or "branded content" or whatever is called now.
SNL literally announced they were doing this in 2016.

It's an SNL skit. Take the tinfoil off.
The ketchup company obviously paid for this skit.
You're an idiot. I'm sorry.

Edit: pun intended but actually stop
Not everything that mocks a product is trying to sell that product.
But this certainly is. They wouldn't be showing the label like that if the skit wasn't sponsored by the ketchup company.
As someone who used to work in the CPG marketing industry, and constantly worked with Kraft-Heinz Co, I doubt it.
Everyone knows us mods here only shill for Whataburger Spicy Ketchup.
