Cadburys Flake Ad

15 Aug 2004

I read in todays newspaper that Cadburys are not going to make anymore of their famous and sensual ads.
They deny that political correctness is the cause of this.
How do we feel about this will, will anyone miss the ads? They seem to be one of the most rememorable adverts.
I can understand that it is ideal to use less "stick type" female models in adverts(particulary those for chocolate) but couldnt they acheive this by using filming a more average sized woman?

I can't say I would miss them particularly as I thought them more amusing than sensual - but then again I usually see the funny side of things.
But it was a winner and so does smack of political correctness a little.

What adverts are we talking about? Am I missing something? The only advert I can remember about flakes is the Boddingtons commerical when Melanie is serving Boddingtons from an ice cream van and asks 'Do you want a flake in that Love?'

I LOVE the Cadbury Flake adverts, they always make me horny.......

You know the ones, woman alone with a flake, gets into large free standing bath filled with warm water gushing from tap, woman chomps on flake losing all sense of reality because it's so good, water continues to gush, fills bath then floods her house!
:karaoke: All to the tune of 'only the crubliest, flakiest chocolate tastes like chocolate never tasted before!'

No if I remember rightly he's left to go to Ibiza for a week :shock:
:giggle:
(I think you are correct Patrick - I have vague memories of that one)

There's a new one isn't there where a panther called "Happiness" crawls from underneath the woman's bed and plays the guitar!
The solgan was something really cheesy like:How do you treat Happiness?
It was awful. I'm scared for life now! :shock:
Bring back the old ones... lizards and all

I also remember
Girl painting in a field then it starts to rain
Girl on the back of a gypsy caravan
Obviously made an impression on a young man who had a very sheltered upbringing

the turkish delight ad of the snake alithering across the dunes, the scimitar flashing & the gorgeous girl allowing the jelly to enter her was always a fav to go along with the flake girl in the meadow, painting

Yes, wth a very famous model of the time wearing little more than a diaphonus shirt with copious amounts of baby oil all over her to give the impression of being hot and steamy with a few drops of water running down her neck arms and chest.
I remember it vividly because I was going through puberty at the time, circa mid to late 80s ISTR and it became rather a urrmm, well, visual stimulus, lol.
