I miss the Cadbury bunny. This isn't the first time I've mentioned him, but I will repeat that the persuasive and adorable clucking bunny is one of the factors that made me want to purchase Cadbury Creme Eggs. How can you resist a treat that comes from the Easter Bunny, after all? It is even more difficult when you are an impressionable child and the cute bunny is offering you chocolate. This is an example of good food advertising (in all its retro glory), with a likable icon and a simple, tasty presentation of the product - a stark contrast to some of the disturbingly creepy ads that companies are using to promote their products nowadays.
The full commercial is after the jump.

The current run has a young couple running around in a field picking up bunnies which growl, whinny, moo, bark, and every sound but clucking, until they finally find one that clucks -- then cut to them on their porch, with the bunny on a royal-looking pillow, surrounded by Creme Eggs and mini-eggs.
