Cadbury fingers, the long and short of it.

Apparently they are no longer on supermarket shelves in France! (Here). The "they" in question are the mythical "Cadbury Fingers" from the giant chocolate maker. Not that I am pointing fingers (sorry, bad pun) but not one knows whose "fault" it is (it seems factory and suppliers and distributors are all saying it was someone else's decision). But to go back to what matters? That ad. That incredible ad - 14 seconds long mind you. It must date to the end of 70s/very early 80s. The kid is trying to sneak a finger and then asks if "they couldn't be any longer?" (tu pourrais pas les faire un peu plus longs?)... Apparently not because well, they vanished it seems. Watch the super ad here.
