A bit like last year's viral Gorilla commercial, I don't see what this latest Cadbury advert has to do with chocolate. However, it is a great ad and one that everyone is talking about... although I don't think it will be as big as the Gorilla one.
With timing sent from heaven, for the advertising peeps, it came out just as the Heathrow Terminal 5 fiasco kicked off. And what a tune! Clearly someone in the advertising agency Fallon is a fan of retro tunes...
