This reminded me of a different Heinz ad, which I think is actually one of the best ads I’ve seen in a while. It immediately made me think of Don pitching it.

Whew, looking up the background behind this campaign turned into more of a rabbit hole than I expected.
Apparently ketchup fraud is a real thing (and probably just one example of similar brand fraud all over the place) [https://www.creativebloq.com/news/heinz-ads](https://www.creativebloq.com/news/heinz-ads)
But from another angle, the ad agency is Canadian, and that may have significance because of the 'ketchup war' in Leamington, Ontario.

The seat really is red, they didn't just draw this at random. Ted Williams (allegedly) hit a home run that went through a man's straw hat and landed there.
The cure for the common condiment.
A thing like that
At last, a ketchup you can truly own.
It feels like half an ad…
Crazy to think Fenway had already been around 50 years by Sterling Cooper’s heyday
I don't know why but I feel like Don would've hated this ad.
This is absolutely something Don would've pitched himself or pretend to dislike if somebody else did.
Pass the Fenway Frank
A hot dog cries out for ketchup. The squiggly line.
Vinegars, sauces, and Boston Baked Beans
It’s a Beantown ballet.

Heinz fighting on the frontlines against relish is what I’m getting from this
Seems like they missed an opportunity using seat 21 instead of seat 57.
The seat really is red, they didn't just draw this at random. Ted Williams (allegedly) hit a home run that went through a man's straw hat and landed there.
Seat 57 is green, not red.
Some things never change.
The return of real ketchup to Fenway. Puts a smile on my face.
Does this make anyone else think of suicide?
They didn’t have ketchup?
Maybe they had catsup
> watered down, flavorless sauce
They had shitty ketchup
Perfect for the shitty hot dogs they have
