Heinz mayonnaise advert with two men kissing set to become most complained of the year
By Paul Revoir Last updated at 8:52 AM on 24th June 2008A mayonnaise advert showing two men kissing has been withdrawn after it led to more than 200 complaints.
Heinz confirmed last night that it had withdrawn the television commercial for its Deli Mayo following ‘consumer feedback’.
The ad was launched a week ago yesterday and had been due to run for five weeks.
Heinz said it was no longer aired after last Friday.
Nigel Dickie, of Heinz UK, said: ‘It is our policy to listen to consumers. We recognise that some consumers raised concerns over the content of the ad and this prompted our decision to withdraw it.
‘The advertisement, part of a short-run campaign, was intended to be humorous and we apologise to anyone who felt offended.’
The advertising watchdog has yet to confirm if it will investigate the Heinz commercial, one of the most complained about commercials this year.
Viewers said it was ‘offensive’, ‘inappropriate’ and ‘unsuitable to be seen by children’, while some parents were angry that they had been forced to explain same-sex relationships to their youngsters who asked them about the ad.
The commercial shows a family scene with a young boy and girl getting ready to go to school.
They refer to a man making sandwiches in the kitchen as ‘mum’.
He is dressed like a delicatessen worker and has a New York accent.
Their father enters the kitchen, grabs a sandwich and says to the man: ‘See you tonight, love’.
The ‘mum’ then shouts back ‘Hey, ain’t you forgetting something’, before the two men kiss.
‘Mum’ then tells him: ‘Love you. Straight home from work sweetcheeks.’
It finishes with the slogan: ‘Heinz Deli Mayo – Mayo with a New York Deli flavour.’

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
