About this deal

Launched in 1968 when the James Bond film franchise was in its early prime, the Milk Tray Man (originally played by Australian model Gary Myers, born 1941, who continued in the role until 1984), was a character introduced by Cadbury as a thinly-disguised pastiche of the well-known action hero. Whereas Bond would risk his life on adventurous missions in the employment of the British Secret Service, Milk Tray Man had a laughably pedestrian mission by comparison: to deliver a box of Milk Tray Chocolates to a woman who loved them. Part of what made the advertisement so memorable was Clough's brusque, no-nonsense coaching manner towards the players. He was known to be thus in real life, and had been repeatedly overlooked for the job of England manager because of those same qualities. In effect, he had been asked to play a parody of himself. It was light entertainment, but the solid underlying messaging was nonetheless effective. That said, if you're popping sugar-free mints all day and notice some tummy trouble (think bloating and gas) scan the label for sugar alcohols like xylitol, mannitol, maltitol, and other ingredients ending in "—ol."

As a piece of psychologically manipulative marketing dressed up as comedy, it was highly effective; some 35 years later, it remains distinguished as one of the most dramatic TV advertising campaigns ever to have been screened in the UK. While such a mission could conceivably have been undertaken in a straightforward manner, by purchasing the box in a shop and walking calmly to the lady's house to surprise her with it as a present, that was not enough for the purposes of the glamorous mystique Cadbury wanted to weave around its Milk Tray product.The implicit messaging was that women love Milk Tray chocolates, and giving a box of them to a woman is one of the most romantic gestures a man can make, turning him into a virtual hero. The song itself, which is sweetly sung by children and accompanied by a delightful flute harmony, tends to suggest that you can feed your children Fudge as a treat but without spoiling them or turning them into little horrors: they will still be good kids!

The board members sample the Mentos mints and murmur approvingly at the taste and texture. The company owner's son then suggests that they should make a chewy mint too! But his father, who is chairing the meeting, is furious at this idea, and shows that he is too set in his ways to even contemplate it, when he exclaims: A memorable exemplar of this long-running series of advertisements was this one from the mid-1980s, which portrays an adventurous-spirited young woman rowing solo in the remote tropical wilderness, and pausing to nonchalantly enjoy a delicious Flake bar while her boat drifts into a perilous-looking cavern.One thing is you have to make sure they’re sugar-free. If they have sugar, you’re giving more food to the bacteria,” said Sefo. Bixie’s habit of exclaiming ‘Yeah!’ reflected the popular informal lingo for ‘Yes’ of the 1980s. Nowadays, the more muted ‘Yeh’ is more commonly heard. When biscuit company Jacob's introduced a chocolate bar called Trio in the early 1980s, it invested heavily in a TV advertising campaign centred upon an animated singing girl called Suzy, performing vocals as part of a musical trio playing a song loosely based on ' Day-O (the Banana Boat Song)'. She was depicted through her song and singing style as brash, loud, self-centred and impatient:

Shredded Wheat was a notable outlier among traditional commercial breakfast cereals in the UK on account of being made without added sugar and salt. After many years of former owner Nabisco using the tagline 'Bet you Can't Eat Three!' to advertise it, Shredded Wheat was sold to Cereal Partners (owners of the brand Nestlé) in 1990, and began to be sold as Nestlé Shredded Wheat instead of the longstanding Nabisco Shredded Wheat, accordingly.

As a means of enthusing children with a song whose addictive qualities resembled those of the cereal itself, the campaign was highly effective.
