Well she doesn't do anything for me, but I suppose the gentlemen will like her, and that's always been the aim of these adverts isn't it?
 

Odd really since lots of people believe that women eat more chocolate than men! I wonder if that's really true?

I always thought the Flake Girl was supposed to appeal to women too - they were supposed to aspire to having time to themselves in a beautiful field or wherever to get lost in the luxury of their Flake.

Was that Dawn French?
 

And I've never thought of it that way before smurfboy.

Is it my aspiration to be sitting in only half a dress in a field of sunflowers while the rain pours down my half a dress making it almost completely see through????

Ooops, no that's not it......... Wink

It's absolutely true that some chocolate was genderised. For example Flake was definitely aimed at women and Yorkie at men.

But who could have thought that young, beautiful, skinny women stuffing their faces with chocolate bars and never putting on weight would appeal to women and not men? Some of them were barely clothed!!
 

Personally the only chocolate advertising that appealed to me was the Milk Tray Man.

Now THAT was the ad that made me want to be the kind of woman he brought choccies to. One of those women I would aspire to be. Wink

The Milk Tray man came out in 1989.
Tough luck.

He seemed to be everywhere!
