Bisto
From Frikipedia
Type of gravy. Similar to Bovril, apart from that you are unlikely to be offered a cup of Bisto at a sporting event.
Bisto has recently begun to advertise itself as a cure for all the UK's social ills. The TV advert portrays a series of people speaking to camera, from a hardworking grizzled man in a hardhat through to a pie-faced Northern pre-teen, all taking a solemn oath to ensure that at least "once a week", they will drag themselves away from their skag needles, gambling addictions and plastic value bottles of cider in order to eat one meal as a family, including the necessary "proper gravy".
Presumably some genius at Bisto HQ has decided that it was their remiss approach to forcing granulated food accoutrements onto people's tables during the mid-90's that have single-handedly led to the decline of the family unit and increase in obesity and general aimlessness in the modern generation.
The odd face-to-camera speech method of advertising employed here has recently been shamelessly ripped off by the Daily Express.
