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."

I don’t think Teresa has a thing to do with Heinz products anymore.
But, now I draw the line.
Too disgusting for words.
Holy crap is this going to backfire. Sorta gross it’s for mayo...yuck. Cant imagine what fool approved this. Better get his/her resume up to date.
Watta ya mean, in da kitchen???
Dammit, I love their ketchup and Heinz57 sauce but I will be looking for another brand this weekend. Anyone recommend one that is similar to Heinz?
Oh wait. It’s in England? Those fruitcakes will prolly like it.
Is this ad only on British TV?
Look at all the grease on the road to hell. Probably KY Jelly.
I’m strictly a “Duke’s Mayo” kind of guy, myself.
Made locally, right here in Upstate SC.
It’s the BEST!
If I worked for Hienz, I'd be looking elsewhere before the layoffs.
Shouldn’t that be “Heinz Deli Gayo”?
I can forsee England being the test run before this is “force-fed” to American television.
Does it matter? The fact that they're catering to those that choose to live the gay "lifestyle" in any country is sufficient to lose my business.
Disgusting ad must mean a disgusting product. Won’t be buying that sodomistic spooge.
That’s sort of nauseating. Well, drop the “sort of.” This is mayo, fer pete’s sake. Why do we have to have the gay subtext?
It was bound to happen. We’ve been brainwashed with TV shows to slowly make us think it’s okay to do things that only man and woman are supposed to do.
I refused to buy that brand anyway. I’ll tune out the garbage on TV.
I am looking for that myself.....
but don’t forget the subsidaries of Heinz such as Delmonte etc......
I found an incomplete list @
