1) BBC - tv, radio and website 2) Heinz salad cream - forget all of that mayo madness 3) Andrex - nothing else will touch my bottom. 4) Head and Shoulder - tried t-gel once and smelt like a petrol station for a week. 5) Google....use it everyday but hate the thought of it being something I need...nervous twitch and strange daydream about self sufficiency!
My god, the number of times Heinz products are mentioned is amazing!
Honestly I really think it is all advertising. They've done the old trick of putting own brand ketchup into a Heinz bottle for taste tests and no one was able to tell that it wasn't Heinz. Those adverts on the radio really wind me up. "It has to be Heinz", no it doesn't, it has to be a roundhouse kick to the temple you bedwetting turd.

You're absolutely right. Their business model is based on buying the cheapest ingredients and selling them on at the highest price. There's nothing at all in their mix about quality and nothing about value. Amazing how many people say they prefer their beanz when they are little better than a supermarket own brand. Try doing a blind taste test with Branston and you'll never go back.

Stig.......you can't ignore the fact that they 'are' simply a good product and what's good enough for Mum & Dad is good enough for their kids, over many decades as a matter of fact......product loyalty at it's most evident and in this instance I'm going to have to say, well deserved.

No questioning that there's strong product loyalty, just questioning why that is when I don't actually see the evidence of quality that so many others assume to be there. I firmly believe that many peoples' affinity for their product comes from childhood memories of Beefy Botham (or whoever was the celebrity of the day) telling us that Beans Meanz Heinz or something similar.
It's a very interesting comment that, "what's good enough for Mum & Dad is good enough for their kids". I'm sure you're right when it comes to beans, but in so many fields that's not true at all. Who drives the same car as their parents, uses the same phone, or even drinks the same booze? Still using dad's Brylcream? No. Read the same newspaper? Probably not. Doing the shake and vac? Of course not. For so many products people actively swerve the stuff that their parents have/had, why not beans?
It could also have something to do with them producing a damn good fart on a regular ongoing basis, far better than any other brand I understand......something that kids in particular really appreciate.

Another Smedley wearer. Got maybe 20 or so Smedleys. Although my badger's hair shaving brush is Truefitt & Hill. Use it every day with either Taylors, Truefitt or Penhaligons shaving soap. We also have a full set of Le Creuset. In red. First world problems.
There are people questioning why people are so loyal to Heinz baked beans, I don't know how anyone can eat tinned beans from any manufacturers, they are fucking disgusting!
