Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate – ‘A Milk Tray Day Today’ (c.1955)

Synopsis

This is a compilation of three 30-second black-and-white advertisements from a Cadbury’s Milk Tray campaign dating from the mid-1950s.

Curator’s notes

These ads persuasively argue that Milk Tray chocolates can transform the everyday into a special occasion (a 'Milk Tray day’) as well as satisfy desires and mend rocky relationships.
