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."

"Anyone recommend one that is similar to Heinz?"Doesn't matter. This seems to be a new product. Never heard of a Heinz mayo.
In any event protesters should boycott all Heinz products. That'll show 'em.
The retail grocery business operates on very thin margins. If Heinz sales fall across their product mix, it will really hurt retail outlets. Shelf space is very expensive.

I don’t buy Heinz products anymore. For Ketchup, I use Del Monte. No difference.

Heinz makes mayo?
Ewwwww......... this is a joke, right?
To: Operation_Shock_N_Awe
Great marketing strategy. Two percent of the consumers will LOVE this commercial.
The other 98% will be looking for another brand.

This Ad will run exactly once. Then a Muslim will complain.

Well, even though Heinz Ketchup is better than Hunts Ketchup, it’s now OFF my list. Never again...

I don’t buy any of those, TG!
