The green sauce is called “St. Paddy’s Sauce” and has the same consistency of ketchup.  “We’re especially excited to have teamed up with Heinz, makers of America’s Favorite Ketchup, to offer a fun and festive green dipping sauce on the side,” said Alex Macedo, senior vice president of North America marketing in a statement.

This isn’t the first time that Burger King has offered free fries — the company had “Free Fries Friday” on December 16.  Other companies have also celebrated free food days, as IHOP celebrated National Pancake Day with a free stack of pancakes.
