Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, has stirred up a storm on the internet with his unconventional choice of condiment for this year’s Thanksgiving turkey. In a new advertisement for Adidas, Mahomes is seen adding ketchup to his turkey, a move that has left fans divided and sharing their opinions across social media platforms.

The ad, released on November 26th, features Mahomes sitting down for a Thanksgiving feast while expressing gratitude for the holiday season. As he prepares to tuck into his meal, the camera zooms in on a turkey leg being liberally doused in ketchup. The video ends with Mahomes wishing fans a “Happy Thanksgiving,” but it was his culinary choice that caught the most attention.
Fans took to Instagram to express their surprise at Mahomes’ ketchup addition. Some questioned the unconventional pairing, with one user commenting, “I don’t know about the ketchup Pat, but I know we got to win tomorrow! Let’s go Chiefs!!! 😍”. Another fan jokingly exclaimed, “Bro ketchup on the turkey? 😂 come on man.”
Mahomes’ fondness for ketchup is no secret, as he has previously admitted to enjoying the condiment on a variety of dishes. In an interview with Barstool Sports, Mahomes confessed to even eating “ketchup sandwiches” in his younger days, a habit he has thankfully outgrown. However, there are two foods that Mahomes insists will always be accompanied by ketchup – mac and cheese and steak.
Hailing from Texas, Mahomes takes his steaks seriously, stating, “If I’m going to order the expensive steak, I want it the way I want it.” Despite his love for ketchup, Mahomes also revealed that not all food pairings have been successful, advising against topping spinach with the condiment.
The controversy surrounding Mahomes’ ketchup habit adds an amusing twist to the anticipation of the Chiefs’ Thanksgiving game against the Dallas Cowboys. As fans eagerly await the outcome of the match, they are sure to keep a close eye on whether Mahomes follows through with his ketchup addition to the turkey post-game.
Throughout his career, Mahomes has been known for his on-field talents, but his offbeat culinary preferences have also garnered attention. With his openness about his love for ketchup, fans can expect more surprises and quirky dining choices from the star quarterback in the future.
As the holiday season unfolds, Mahomes’ ketchup saga serves as a lighthearted reminder that even professional athletes have their own unique quirks and preferences when it comes to food. Whether you’re a fan of ketchup on turkey or not, one thing is for certain – Patrick Mahomes has sparked a spirited debate that is sure to linger long after the Thanksgiving leftovers are gone.
