[Mars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hersheys-cookies-n-creme) chocolate brand [Galaxy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instore-bakery-treats) is launching an [edible billboard installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scratchandsniff-ooh-campaign) in London that will encourage passersby to #choosepleasure.

The installation will be part of a larger '30 Days of Pleasure' initiative that's being run by Galaxy and Time Out magazine, which provides 30 fun prizes like picnic sets and movie night experiences. This billboard is a first-of-its-kind for the chocolate brand and it hopes to communicate that taking the time to enjoy pleasure every day is a necessity for leading a more fulfilling life.

In support of the edible billboard, Galaxy will also be sharing a digital campaign on social media showing how different kinds of people make time in their daily lives for pleasure through enjoyable activities like yoga, soaking in a bathtub or meeting up with their friends.
