Timeless principle

Sometimes the strongest product argument is pure feeling.

The idea

Make a bar of chocolate feel like the release of a perfect drum fill.

Why it works

The long wait, the solemn gorilla and the instantly recognizable song create tension with no rational explanation. When the drums finally arrive, the release is physical and joyful. Cadbury turns pleasure into a piece of entertainment people want to replay.
