Heinz Baked Beans: Common Market

Heinz Baked Beans: Common Market


In 1972 Britain entered the European common market full of beans. What could go wrong?

Hopes and fears around Britain entering the European common market in 1972 manifested in many ways - such as this opportunistic TV ad. Were such 'British' institutions as Heinz Baked Beans on toast under threat? But before building walls around our national treasures we should perhaps bear in mind that the company flying the Union Jack to flog their canned goods is actually American.

Tastes Great!

A smorgasbord of culinary delights and thirst-quenching refreshment awaits in this collection of food and drink adverts.

You are what you eat? Advertisers have long presented our food choices as much more than just a cure for hunger, but as a key lifestyle decision. The right purchase can help make you who you want to be; keep you and your kids happy, fit and healthy; save you time and keep you on the go; or impress your dinner party guests of your 'home cooking' skills - all as part of a balanced diet, naturally. And for liquid refreshment, try our choice of soft, hard, hot and cold drinks commercials, offering everything from social pick-me-up to elixir of family contentment. Cheers!
