Potato sauce

Does anyone know what "indetectable" means?

Nalley's is adequate? Well that's a ringing endorsement if ever I've heard one. o_O

Never heard of potato sauce here in the USA. Is it a British or Australian invention?

All merriam-webster.com and wikionary say is "not detectable". I think it's a license to slip in any crap Nalley's can find. :/

Nally's mascot reminds me of the Minnesota State Fair mascots.

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:

Potato sauce?

I'm a graphic designer, and Photoshop expert. I have seen this ad out and about on another mid-century site. For the sake of the stuff, I really hope to God I'm wrong here 'cause this product sounds revolting!

Here's my argument why I think it's the real deal. I know how graphic designers, in general think.

Graphic designers want their name out there, their personal "brand", how great they are, even if this ad is a load of horseradish, I truly believe a modern designer is going to go so far over-the-top, want to show everyone how mad their Photoshop skillz are that they will tip their hand, even if it's accidental and do too much. Does this make sense?

Someone will put their name all over this bad boy. Post it on Behance, a designers showcase in Adobeland and make sure everyone sees their way-cool work. They would have their name actually ON this. Why do the work and not get credit?

I want to see if someone can shoot this argument down. Nally's IS truly Adequate. That is a ringing endorsement of the day. Doesn't say great, doesn't say horrible, it's just, barely edible. It may have not been widely printed. I desperately want this to be real, just because it really is an awful ad! ;)

Ha, I just came across this on Tumblr and had to Google to find out if this stuff actually existed :p (so far, I haven't found anything).

From what year is this supposed to be?
