Despite the fact that the advertising slogan for Cadbury Thins is
"Thin is in," clearly Cadbury does
not think so. The 100-calorie Canadian snack bar is being tucked away in tiny packaging at the end of the checkout
counter and mixed in with the cosmetics selection at drug stores so that people who purchase the product will not feel
embarrassed. And by people, Cadbury means women. Cadbury feels that not only do women feel guilty when they go to
purchase chocolate, but they are ashamed to purchase the slimmer chocolate bar. If this marketing strategy works for
the company in their Canadian market, it is only a matter of time before other snack food producers follow Cadbury's
lead and begin to tuck their products where shoppers will not expect to find them.
