The election that will divide the nation

There’s one election this year which will divide the nation, causing debate around the dinner table, over the water coolers, and on the school grounds. Wattie’s The Verdict is asking New Zealanders to vote for their favourite: Spaghetti or Baked Beans. These two iconic New Zealand products are set to battle it out at the polls as of today (25th July) at www.wattiesverdict.co.nz.

Wattie’s Baked BeaNZ and Spaghetti are staple fare in every Kiwi’s pantry. Made by our most trusted food brand, Wattie’s, both these products have been putting smiles on Kiwis’ faces and filling hungry tummies since way back when.

But now is the time to choose which one brings the most comfort and the biggest smile.
