Heinz has released a [playful promotional campaign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mr-ridiculously-good) to accompany the launch of the new sauces that riffs on the fact that it has taken them this long to enter the pasta category. As a result, the digital campaign features the tagline “Ridiculously Late, Ridiculously Good.” “Despite this extensive agriculture heritage and tomato expertise, this is the first pasta sauce to be launched in the UK under the Heinz brand – a market where Heinz is annually ranked among the most-loved food brands," said Georgiana de Noronha, president for northern Europe at [Kraft Heinz](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heinz-beanz-houmouz).
