Today, Cool Gai is all set to go on a journey!!

Where you may ask??

Well, the destination is NOSTALGIA and the mode of transport: 

Ads from the yesteryears that make us feel all warm and fuzzy inside!! 😃

Back in the 1970s, when the government relaxed its restrictions on TV programming, investors and channels began dipping their toe into broadcasting.

20 years later, with the advent of cable and satellite TVs, brands began experimenting with ads to market their products.📺

And oh!! What a time indeed. One can inarguably say that the ads almost mirrored life at that point:

Easy-going and pleasant, without the need for any extra shoo-shaa!!!

So, Cool Gai and his moo-dy friends have their bags packed!!

Are you all set to take a trip down memory lane??

Chocolates may come and go, but Cadbury is forever!!!

Their first-ever mega campaign - KUCH MEETHA HO JAYE - brought out the emotion behind the little things in life:

Not to mention, this one:

PS: A little announcement!!

Back to regular programming!

Remember the Cadbury Silk jingle?? Well, considering how deep it’s settled into our hearts, Cadbury revamps it ever so often.

After all, why fix something that isn’t broken??

Is the soothing tune of ‘Close your eyes, kiss me’ stuck in your head? 

Well, there’s a lot more coming next…
