Good evening, this is CNN reporting on the surprise event that unfolded at a supermarket outside of London on Tuesday. Ed Sheeran made an unexpected appearance at a Sainsbury’s grocery store in St. Albans to promote his hot sauce line, “Tingly Ted’s.”
Fans were thrilled to meet Sheeran as he dished out pizza and signed autographs with his hot sauce. Social media videos captured fans lining up in the parking lot, with some expressing their surprise at encountering the singer. One fan mentioned on social media, “Only popped into @Sainsburys for some milk!” while another wrote, “Random Tuesday at Sainsburys casually doing the food shop and only bump into @teddysphotos.”
Store manager Satwinder Hayre shared her excitement about the visit, stating, “We were delighted that Ed Sheeran made a surprise visit to our store today to show off his Tingly Ted’s hot sauces, it certainly gave our customers shivers!” Sheeran’s sauce was showcased to demonstrate its versatility and ability to enhance various foods.
During the event, Sheeran signed autographs for fans using the hot sauce on items like a block of cheese, a melon, and even a vinyl of his album “X.” Some items signed by Sheeran have already appeared on online auction websites, with one seller offering a kitchen roll signed with hot sauce preserved in resin.
Described as a “lifelong ketchup and hot sauce obsessive,” Sheeran created Tingly Ted’s to fulfill his dream of making “the ketchup of hot sauces.” This move follows other celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Blake Lively, Tom Hanks, and Kylie Jenner who have ventured into the food and drink business with their own unique products.
