Right. It's a Sunday morning. You drank way too much beer last night. And what you need is a breakfast butty, ideally dripping in runny egg yolk.
So you'd think that we'd be quite on board with the prospect of being able to skip all the frying and get straight to the yolk, wouldn't you?
But now we've seen what runny egg yolk in a squeezy bottle looks like, we've decided we're absolutely not on board.
This is 'eggchup', an insane ketchup/egg hybrid, and it's been created by everyone's favourite sausage experts Heck.
The condiment, which is a two-ingredient blend of egg yolk and salt, has been dreamt up to 'revolutionise the traditional English breakfast'.

Even Heck admit that the concept is 'a bit marmite'.
And it's not just the eggs on your Full English that have been given the sauce treatment by Heck - they've also gone and made squeezy bean juice.
Beanchup is the world's first baked bean-flavoured ketchup, using haricot beans, tomato and spices. Okay fine this one actually sounds pretty good.
Announcing the news on Facebook, Heck said: "We’ve just made sausage sarnies even better! Introducing Eggchup and Beanchup! If you love beans with your bangers or enjoy egg and sausage you’ll LOVE our newest creations."
The comment section erupted, with one person saying: "Egg-chup. Oh no that's a hard pass from me lol. I'd have loved to have been present in the meeting that idea came up lol."
Another wrote: "The eggchup is intriguing....might be wonderful. Might be rank."
Someone else asked: "Is it April already?"
Calum Smith, the creator of the sauce, and Heck’s new product development manager, said: "The Secret Sausage Society are tough critics, but many have been telling us it feels like they are eating a full English breakfast, but all they’ve had to do is add the sauce, rather than rustle up more pots and pans."

North Star Coffee announces opening date for new site – and they’re giving away 200 coffees to celebrate
One of Leeds' most iconic brands is expanding with two city centre openings.
Coffee lovers, you're going to love this one.
North Star Coffee Roasters are one of the early pioneers of specialty coffee in the North of England and among the UK’s first B Corp-certified coffee roasters.
They've been keeping the people of Leeds awake since 2013, and you'll find their coffee across the country as well as at their current city centre locations.
One of their brand-new locations inside the Victoria Quarter will be opening next Monday 1 June.
Their new kiosk will be located outside Jo Malone London and marks the brand’s third site in Leeds.

To celebrate the launch, North Star will be giving away 50 free coffees a day from Tuesday 2 June until Friday 5 June - a total of 200 free drinks across the opening week. Customers will be able to claim any coffee from the menu, with one free drink per person available on a first come, first served basis, each day.
Their other new site is expected to be on Great George Street, and we'll keep you updated with any news on that one as and when we know more.
Speaking about the opening, Holly Kragiopoulos, Co-founder of North Star, said: “Opening a third site in the centre of Leeds feels incredibly special for us. Leeds has always been at the heart of North Star, so being able to bring our coffee into Victoria Quarter is a huge milestone.
"We wanted to celebrate by giving something back to the city and welcoming both loyal regulars and new customers with free coffee throughout our opening week.”

Silver's Bakehouse is finally here, and it's just as fabulous as we'd hoped.
Just when you thought Leeds’ favourite sandwich spot couldn't get any better, they go and open a bakery.
Silver's Bakehouse has opened its beautiful pastel green doors today over in Farsley to queues of excited fans eager to get their first taste.
So, what's on offer at Silver's Bakehouse?

Well, as masterminds of the almighty sandwich you'll be happy to know you can still get one here. However, their iconic sub sarnies have had an Italian makeover and are now served in fresh, springy sourdough which is baked onsite.
Elsewhere on the menu you'll find brown butter buttermilk brownies (try saying that three times), a range of delicious cookies, sausage rolls, soft amaretti biscuits and Dark Arts tiramisu.
There's also a fab selection of Italian drinks on offer in a swanky new fridge, as well as a coffee menu so you can pick a brew to go hand in hand with your chosen baked good.

The interior is just as gorgeous, complete with yellow walls, red tiles and a mirror hanging above the baker's table so you can really see all the magic happen.
And trust us, it is magic.
There's a couple of benches outside so you can plonk yourself in the sunshine to enjoy your sarnie, which is what we'll be doing in this glorious bank holiday sunshine.

You can really tell this is a proper labour of love, and Chris and the team have done a cracking job of keeping that Silver's spirit in there.
Go and say hello to congratulate them on this fabulous new opening, it's a great addition to Farsley and the Leeds foodie scene.
