The "100 Calorie" obsession continues with products like the [Cadbury](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-campaigns) Thin bars not only lining store checkouts, but also invading us through [print campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-like-nobodys-watching), and even video ads like the three featured here.

Clearly, Cadbury is targeting image-conscious women with the commercials. The campaign is about "The Clever Woman" who also happens to know the secret of Cadbury Thins.

Stapler, featured above, shows a woman who staples her hem shorter after setting her eye on a "good-looking and single new accountant".

In Panties, a woman transforms her granny panties into a sexy thong after deciding "Mr. Alright" has become "Mr. Right Now." Following that clip is Blemish in which "the clever woman" turns her zit into a beauty mark.
