Milk Tray: Make the day a happy one
Title:
Milk Tray: Make the day a happy one
NFSA ID
270707
Year
1960
This clip is one of three short advertisements with the jingle 'happiness for two’. It is set on a river cruise with people on board eating Milk Tray chocolates and a couple laughing as the jingle plays over the soundtrack. Summary by Poppy De Souza.
These advertisements are probably from the 1960s. The 'happiness for two’ catchphrase and melody line also appears at the end of two other ads. The bright and chirpy world the Cadbury song creates in each ad is conjured through both the melody and the lyrics. The lines 'happiness for two’ and 'get together with Milk Tray’ directly align the chocolate product with romantic couplings and each ad features at least one man and woman paired off together.
