The funniest one is the Calgon adverts. We don't tend to have hard water in the North so we've no need for it. But it's sold to southerners using a supposed northern plumber. This is because (from market research) southern tradesmen are viewed as devious and unreliable, even by southerners! Check out the B&Q adverts and it's a similar story. It's advertising stereotyping at it's best!
I think Daddies ketchup is much nicer than Heinz. Less sickly sweet and does actually taste as though some tomatoes might have been near it.
And yes, Slave, I started to worry myself as well. I put it down to driving past the HP sauce factory too many times as a lad... oooh, I can remember the smell even now.
