Those of us who grew up as a subject of the empire remember the Cadbury’s Crème Egg as being “Just until Easter” (I additionally remember it as being singularly revolting, but I digress). Well, the old brand has been trotted out as “Here today, goo tomorrow”. The brilliant TV spots are 15s featuring a cast of suicidal Easter Crème Eggs (view them all under the “fantasies” section) and the rest of the site does a nice job of following up on the promise that the spots suggest – effortless integration of really fantastic offline creative:

Wow. Those are pretty intense. I think I find the anthropomorphization more awkward than the suicide, for some reason. Murmuring “goo” and disrobing their foil?

with the clucking bunny. And another from that era with roller skaters and a catchy jingle (Caburrrrry’s Easter-Creme-Eggs, Oooooooooo ooo-ooo-oooo) and that we used to go to the Shopper’s Drug Mart every day after school in the weeks AFTER Easter and buy one at ever-decreasing prices.
