Heinz Ketchup was almost in trouble... From the News Scotsman:
AN advert which sparked criticism for showing a guinea pig drinking tomato ketchup has been cleared by TV watchdogs.Seventeen viewers complained the Heinz commercial was irresponsible and could lead to children replacing pets’ water supplies with the sauce.
The advert, part of Heinz’s sponsorship deal with ITV soap Emmerdale, showed a guinea pig in a cage drinking from a ketchup bottle and finished with the message: "You can’t eat without it."
But Ofcom ruled it had not breached guidelines and was clearly meant to be humorous.
