Yummy! Potato Sauce!

Potato sauce

Does anyone know what "indetectable" means?

indetectable sounds like an pre-apology just in case anyone finds it too strong (or in case they, you know, can taste it).

also I'm going to call shenanigans on this (not on you, cuddy!) because this ad just doesn't exist anywhere, nor do any of their sauce ads, and the copy is just too perfect. But there was this:

I saw this ad posted somewhere else a few days ago and there was some discussion regarding whether the ad might be a parody. Nalley's was a real company, but has mostly shut down now.

I am going to post a link directing readers back to your comment. I hope you won't mind. It's for educational purposes! :)

I looked around and I could find nothing. I thought wow, what a great photo-shopped ad.

I found this, and I think it seals it.

Brilliant work! If we can find the bottle and the sauce & spoon, we can deconstruct all of it :D

Since each company had its own bottle design, I think this bottle most closely resembles Hunt's catsup

I was thinking the same, because I've gone pretty far down the tragic rabbit-hole of midcentury food, and I've never heard of this. Needless to say, my first reaction was of revulsion and alarm. :-D

It was a mind-bending experience. Also hilarious.

I was thinking there were a few too many things that were 'off' in the copy (adequate + indetectable + sour butter + clam flavored potato sauce?) and also that the paper texture plus the edges around the ad look photoshopped
