The commercial is aimed at mothers with children aged between eight and 12 years, and communications manager Anna Relyea explained that it is called “Duck”, as it depicts a small boy who only successfully manages to feed a duck with a French fry after it has been dipped in Ketchup.


Part of a C$2m campaign created by Toronto-based Leo Burnett, the advert will run until September.


The tagline is “It’s just the not same without it”.
