Heinz is set to challenge some viewer expectations with a light-hearted TV campaign that features two men sharing a kiss.
The TV commercial, which promotes a new range of dressing called Heinz Deli Mayo, breaks tonight and will be supported by a press campaign.
Heinz' new ad opens with a family on a normal morning routine with a young boy and girl getting ready for school and their father preparing for the office.
The young boy and girl go to the kitchen to get their sandwiches, which are being prepared by a man with a New York accent dressed in a deli serving outfit who they refer to as "mum".
When their father goes to get his sandwich he says to mum in the kitchen "See you tonight love".
However, mum barks back "Hey, ain't you forgetting something?", at which point the two men share a kiss. Mum then sends the father off with the words: "Love you. Straight home from work, sweet cheeks."

Not really.
We have come to expect this.
Garbage.
Over the last few years and knowing John Kerry is Teressa’s main squeeze got me to try Hunts products.
So now I buy Hunts until they make a stupid ad.
An ad like this highly offends me.
Have you tried Heinz's 'Sodomy Sauce'?
Nothing beats homemade anyway.
Homemade Mayonnaise
2 large egg yolks
3 Tbs. lemon juice
1/4 tsp. salt
pinch of white pepper
1 cup oil
whisk
whisk oil in drop by drop
They showed this commercial last night on the O’Reilly factor. BOR bashed it and Bernie Goldberg was stupid enough to suggest that it had nothing at all to do with gays, it was just a clever commercial. I thought he had more sense than that.
And so ends my usage of any products from Heinz.
Never tried Kroger but I usually shop there.
I think I will buy a bunch of small bottles and experiment. Thanks for the tip on Kroger, since my local store was washed away in the flood I will have to try it after they clean and restock it.
Good chit!
It’s still the principle of the ad that bothers me. I admit, I have not bought a Heinz product, knowingly, since 04, cannot boycott it twice. Or, maybe I could buy it, and take it back for a refund, unopened.
We may want to consider that this may never air. This could be a concept commercial by the ad agency that was never meant to be released to the public. Sometimes ad agencies will make a lot of different concept commercials to pitch to the company. I’m going to go back to the article and see if I can tell if Heinz actually is going to run it or if this is a discarded concept that somehow got in the public domain.
LOL!

Heinz owns Del Monte.
I think I’ll start making my own mayo (not hard to make, btw).
Absolutely! Easy to make, keeps as long as you need it (use olive oil, btw), and tastes better. There’s also a blender version that is very easy.
I just watched it disgusting!!
A very dumb commercial. Makes no sense at all.
