A Heinz beans advert showing how to beat out a song on tin cans has been banned for health and safety reasons.

The advertisement featured young people and adults using empty or full tins to make the rhythm of a song, with the catchline "#Learn the CanSong".

The Advertising Standards Authority ruled that mistakes might be made that could lead to people cutting their hands or fingers.

Kraft Heinz denied that the advertising campaign posed a risk.

Three viewers complained that the TV advert could encourage unsafe practice and six believed it featured behaviour that could be dangerous for children to copy.


FFS

3 viewers - what a high percentage of viewers that is

There's got to be something wrong with you in the head if you think you need to complain about someone flipping an empty can of beans.

At least there is only 3 of them in the world I blame the people who listen to these morons, not the morons themselves - they can't help it..

It goes both ways, I guess...you always remember the three tw@ts on bikes riding like c*ntf*cks and not the other 97% riding normally (yeah, right!).

Play the other side, and call up a customer service place for a product...or better yet, write them and heap praise on them...and you get all sorts of free sh*t as a 'Thank You'.

It's great....they frickin' lap stuff like that up.....otherwise all they ever hear is whining.

PS.....if it's a new product, like say...a new flavour of crisps (allegedly...)...then even better still.

/hungry now....

The cynic in me thinks that they have instigated this for themselves... Good news, normal news, interesting news gets missed, passed over, forgotten it seems too quickly.
Have some pile of crap news, for the masses to repeat and discuss and generally natter about seems to stick around and people remember.
Oh yes and its normally free, a lot less than a full on marketing campaign.

I don't think Heinz need it do they?

Love it that's cracked me up!! 3 people moaned and the money they have spent on doing the ad has now gone to waste...expect the price of beans to go up

Nope I dont suppose they do....but they generated the ad in the first place, so someone thinks they need to keep the brand out there
