H.P. Sauce
Good with Bacon
'Good with bacon' was a long-running line for HP, the brown sauce made in Birmingham and named for the Houses of Parliament on its label. The ad pairs the plain three-word claim with a comic painted scene rather than a recipe or a product shot, so the gag carries the message and the slogan just lands the punchline. Selling a breakfast condiment through humor rather than appetite-appeal makes it feel like a shared British joke.
