To mark its 50th anniversary, [Cadbury](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cadbury-products) created a special plate with a commemorative design that ties in with its Golden Goobilee celebrations. The plate was created in collaboration with UK China manufacturers Duchess China and the limited-edition design will be sold on Depop. All of the plates will be sequentially priced from £1 up to £50 and all of the proceeds from the sale of the [commemorative plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/esther-price-candies-anniversary-box) will go towards supporting The Trussell Trust.

To support the launch of these special plates, Cadbury teamed up with Carat, LadBible and [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limited-edition-bar) for takeover experiences, video content and editorial coverage. There's also an accompanying ad that shows the limited-edition Cadbury plates literally being dropped to announce their arrival.
