Do you think the new Hellmans ad is offensive?

AMKC · 12-07-2018 7:25pm #1

I do and I think it should be banned. This ad has turned me right off Hellmans. I used to eat use mayo and ketchup but not anymore. I will be making a complaint about the ad. Anyone else here also agree or just not like them? Also where do I go to complain about it? It wouLd be great if others here that do not like the brand or are also offended by the ad also complain about it.

Upset over an ad?

Link to the ad for those of us that may not have seen it?

CalamariFritti · 12-07-2018 7:27pm

Haven’t seen it. What’s wrong with it? Boobs in it?

Charlie19 · 12-07-2018 7:28pm

Hellmann's is the only Mayonnaise I like, so for that reason.. I'm out.

Ah now. Miracle Whip is the one you should try.

Sam Quentin · 12-07-2018 7:29pm

Salad Cream rocks....

furiousox · 12-07-2018 7:29pm

Is it because it's white?

TheValeyard · 12-07-2018 7:29pm

Haven't seen it. Anyone gotta link to help me get offended

VonZan · 12-07-2018 7:29pm

You have a lot to worry about when you're upset over an ad for mayonnaise on the television.

Folkstonian · 12-07-2018 7:30pm

Try Heinz mayonnaise OP, it will change your life.

dxhound2005 · 12-07-2018 7:30pm

What is the obsession of people on Boards about ads? There are threads on the Radio and TV forums with thousands of posts, constantly moaning on and on about how bad they are.

And now AH is infested with more of the same. If anything it shows how good the advertisers are in getting attention for their products.

Greybottle · 12-07-2018 7:30pm

Haven't seen it, but if it means me getting attention on social media, then I'm offended.

Where's my hash tag?

colm_mcm · 12-07-2018 7:32pm

This one?

Olsky · 12-07-2018 7:32pm

Now everyone is wondering what the ad could possible contain to cause such offence. Don't leave us hanging O Offended One

Edit. Watched ad above. Could you be a bit more specific in relation to what in the ad offends you?

Jennehy · 12-07-2018 7:33pm

It makes fantastic lube.

hairyslug · 12-07-2018 7:33pm

Cause a sign has "food porn" on it in the ad?

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 12-07-2018 7:34pm

I can't think of any of their adverts that could be even remotely construed as offensive. What one are you bothered by?

What could possibly be offensive in that one. Hold on, no black guy in it? Or was there? I don’t really wanna watch it again.

blackbox · 12-07-2018 7:35pm

Is it because they put tomatoes in it?

DEFTLEFTHAND · 12-07-2018 7:36pm

The Hellmans family are devil worshippers.

Damien360 · 12-07-2018 7:41pm

I don't watch TV channels that have ads so haven't seen it. Can you please post a link

I want to be as outraged as the next guy

sydthebeat · 12-07-2018 7:44pm

I hope your offended cos their ads have become so safe, generic and homogenous as to be so fcuking bland and boring.

GarIT · 12-07-2018 7:47pm

I really want to find out what this is now.

Has Hellmans made a new ad where some is using a squirty bottle to shoot it over someone's face or something? What could offend anyone about mayo, other than it running out.

Sam Quentin · 12-07-2018 7:50pm

Hellmans/womans whatevsss mmmm I love Salad Cream more than I love Mayonnaise... Make the change guys ohhhhhh yeaaaaah

suicide_circus · 12-07-2018 7:51pm

KETCHUP????

BENDYBINN · 12-07-2018 7:51pm

There is not enough women in it!

AMKC · 12-07-2018 7:57pm

It's the d that says the whole world has gone crazy for hellman's some shi.t like that. Eh no it has not. I do not know what bubble them people live in but there is people out there with no food, there is wars in the world like Syria, and there is people who do not like or can not eat that hellman's crap so that's why I find it offensive.

screamer · 12-07-2018 8:04pm

Hell man...why so offended? I dunno I worry about the world we live in. No sense of humour, take the worst possible meaning out of everything and zero resilience....what a time to be alive.

AllForIt · 12-07-2018 8:05pm

How many pages do I have to read before I get to know what's offensive about the ad?

I find it hard to believe you're being serious but you're not being funny either.

I'm speechless at such naivety.
