One thing is you have to make sure they’re sugar-free. If they have sugar, you’re giving more food to the bacteria,” said Sefo.

The introduction of the Weetabix characters in the mid-1980s transformed the fortunes of the British breakfast cereal Weetabix. Each of them took the form of a Weetabix biscuit dressed in clothes and given a face and individual personality. They operated together as an animated street gang with youthful attitude and a sense of ‘cool’ governing their style and mannerisms.Individually wrapped for freshness, Fox’s Chewy Mints have been developed to fill a gap in the market, as while the gums and chews market grew by 12% vs last year and mint flavoured confectionery saw 5.8% growth vs last year, there still remained limited choice for consumers looking for mint flavour in a chewable, individually wrapped format. Instead of sugar, many breath mint brands will use xylitol, a sugar alternative that’s naturally occurring in fruits and vegetables. It’s a sweetener that doesn’t damage teeth or feed odor-causing bacteria. Shredded Wheat was a notable outlier among traditional commercial breakfast cereals in the UK on account of being made without added sugar and salt. After many years of former owner Nabisco using the tagline 'Bet you Can't Eat Three!' to advertise it, Shredded Wheat was sold to Cereal Partners (owners of the brand Nestlé) in 1990, and began to be sold as Nestlé Shredded Wheat instead of the longstanding Nabisco Shredded Wheat, accordingly. Launched in 1968 when the James Bond film franchise was in its early prime, the Milk Tray Man (originally played by Australian model Gary Myers, born 1941, who continued in the role until 1984), was a character introduced by Cadbury as a thinly-disguised pastiche of the well-known action hero. Whereas Bond would risk his life on adventurous missions in the employment of the British Secret Service, Milk Tray Man had a laughably pedestrian mission by comparison: to deliver a box of Milk Tray Chocolates to a woman who loved them.

The Flake bar was introduced in 1920, and has been enduringly popular ever since. To draw attention to its sensuous melt-in-the-mouth qualities, Cadbury began in the late 1950s to advertise it on television using models (invariably female) depicted as slowly savouring the experience of eating it in a relaxed setting. As this example shows, it was marketed chiefly at primary school-aged children, for whom, the song promises, it can serve as a 'treat'.

That said, if you're popping sugar-free mints all day and notice some tummy trouble (think bloating and gas) scan the label for sugar alcohols like xylitol, mannitol, maltitol, and other ingredients ending in "—ol." The song itself, which is sweetly sung by children and accompanied by a delightful flute harmony, tends to suggest that you can feed your children Fudge as a treat but without spoiling them or turning them into little horrors: they will still be good kids! The advert assumes firstly that the Quality Street selection as a whole is, or at least should be, everybody's favourite. The only valid question is taken as being which individual variety from your favourite selection is your 'favourite favourite'. Finally, the punchline arrives: 'But nothing tops Kellogg's Coco Pops' - the messaging being that however much fun all the other things mentioned may be, they are not as pleasurable as the experience of eating Coco Pops. After asking both experts about certain ingredients in breath mints that are particularly healthy for teeth, or better for controlling bad breath, both experts instead pointed to an ingredient to avoid.

Bixie’s habit of exclaiming ‘Yeah!’ reflected the popular informal lingo for ‘Yes’ of the 1980s. Nowadays, the more muted ‘Yeh’ is more commonly heard. The messaging around the Weetabix was that eating the cereal was compatible with street credibility as well as with living an energetic youthful or teenaged lifestyle, having friends, and getting out and about as part of a group. For many years, whether you were more a Roses person or a Quality Street person said a lot about your personality. The chief difference in practice was the unashamed inclusion of several types of hard toffees in the Quality Street selection, whereas Roses were solely chocolates.The marketing of Shredded Wheat also underwent a phase of renewal in the early 1990s. In this famous campaign, the late Brian Clough (1935-2004), former England international footballer and long-time manager of the club Nottingham Forest, was portrayed requiring all his footballers to eat Shredded Wheat. Another piece of confectionery made by Cadbury's that was successfully advertised on television for many years in the later 20th century was Fudge, a slender log-shaped bar consisting of a soft, fudge-like centre wrapped in milk chocolate. First launched in 1948, it has been in production ever since. Unlike with the advertising for Milk Tray, there were no romantic associations implied. Roses were sold as being a gift for friends and family, and suitable for people of all ages. As a piece of psychologically manipulative marketing dressed up as comedy, it was highly effective; some 35 years later, it remains distinguished as one of the most dramatic TV advertising campaigns ever to have been screened in the UK. When biscuit company Jacob's introduced a chocolate bar called Trio in the early 1980s, it invested heavily in a TV advertising campaign centred upon an animated singing girl called Suzy, performing vocals as part of a musical trio playing a song loosely based on ' Day-O (the Banana Boat Song)'. She was depicted through her song and singing style as brash, loud, self-centred and impatient:

What I see most commonly is patients who are taking high blood pressure medication or any medications for depression or anxiety, or a combination of a few of them. That can change the oral environment,” said Jiang. While such a mission could conceivably have been undertaken in a straightforward manner, by purchasing the box in a shop and walking calmly to the lady's house to surprise her with it as a present, that was not enough for the purposes of the glamorous mystique Cadbury wanted to weave around its Milk Tray product. They can cause GI symptoms when consumed in large amounts," says Good Housekeeping Nutrition Director Jaclyn London, MS, RD, CDN, "and mints can add up over the course of your day." This was reflected in the 'Thank you very much!' TV advertising campaign of the 1980s, which depicted in song a variety of scenarios in which people could thank each other by giving each other boxes of Roses chocolates. In places, the rhyming imagery is blended into the song as though in apparent descriptive reference to the experience of eating the cereal, notably the line 'Snow drops... chocolate flavour!' which evokes the milk being poured onto a bowl of the cereal resembling snowfall.A memorable exemplar of this long-running series of advertisements was this one from the mid-1980s, which portrays an adventurous-spirited young woman rowing solo in the remote tropical wilderness, and pausing to nonchalantly enjoy a delicious Flake bar while her boat drifts into a perilous-looking cavern. The romantic associations Cadbury wanted to instil in connection with its product were reinforced by the tagline 'And all because the lady loves Milk Tray...'. Despite the banal origins of its name, Roses was nonetheless advertised with the imagery of the flowers of the same name. Just as roses are often traditionally given as thank-you gifts, so too could Roses chocolates be - at least, so Cadbury would have us all think. Part of what made the advertisement so memorable was Clough's brusque, no-nonsense coaching manner towards the players. He was known to be thus in real life, and had been repeatedly overlooked for the job of England manager because of those same qualities. In effect, he had been asked to play a parody of himself. It was light entertainment, but the solid underlying messaging was nonetheless effective. The messaging was primarily targeting women who liked some independence and enjoyed adventure. The role of the adventurer had traditionally been portrayed in film as male - think Indiana Jones, for example. Yet, here was a woman in a similarly exotic rainforest setting, coping just fine all by herself. Free to enjoy her pleasures in life without needing to ask permission from anyone else, she was a new woman at a time when feminism was only just starting to become more mainstream in British society.
