Owner Larry Eckert is selling the 65-year-old, 170-foot (52-metre)-tall landmark and adjacent warehouse but despite its name, the 380,000-litre tower has never held ketchup.

For fans of the sauce to fill the bottle, they would require 1.3 million of the iconic 300ml glass bottles of Heinz Ketchup. Meanwhile, 628,000 of Heinz's bestselling top down squeezy bottle, worth 605ml, would be needed to fill it.

The Collinsville water tower is a depiction of Brooks Old Original Rich and Tangy Catsup, which was once produced in the buildings beneath the tower. (szeged.hu, MTI)
