Cadbury suspends Coronation Street sponsorship

Cadbury have suspended their sponsorship of Coronation Street due to the salmonella scare.

I wonder why. I would have thought it would have boosted sales a bit.

On BBC's online ticker.

What? The Salmonela?

It's been the case since Friday, are they just catching up ?

Well lets hope when the sponsorship returns they get rid of Jim and Suki and eggtastic etc...load of old tosh.

They're not as bad as the "Pan Fried Earth" one they had running a few years back.

Those sponsorship ads certainly were annoying; the original chocolate ones were far better. Oh - and the guy actually said "pan fried œuf" - "œuf" is French for "egg".

Maybe they could have some new, salmonella-friendly slogans.

"Cadburys really gets you going" (shot of someone dashing out of the room, holding their guts)

"The special Cadburys feeling, that stays with you all day. And the rest of the week too!"

"Cadbury's. Unwrap both sides, so it's open at both ends. Just like you"

wow, that's too gross i've only just had breakfast.

The one i hated was the creme egg one years ago where sombody with a big booming voices shouts CORONATION STREET HAS BEEN SPONSORED BY CADBURYS CREME EGG! as though it's most exciting news ever

Which for some reason was shown on every epsiode in January. It appeared on New Years Day, and was gone on the last episode before February.

The original cadbury sponsorship ads were the best with the chocolate street!

Those of us who watched Corrie on Granada Plus got to see any new sponsorships first as they always changed the sponsorships on Monday's starting with the 9am Classic Corrie.

The same went for the Emmerdale sponsorships as well.

I loved the 'Chocolate Street' ones, simple yet effective. ISTR they had a whole exhibit on it at Cadbury World in Birmingham, though chance is that exhibition has long gone. They were good, but they should have really reshot them in 16:9, they looked awful cropped after Coronation Street switched to 16:9 Production. I never liked the animated ones in between, they were damn right annoying, the ones we have now aren't as bad, though saying that I don't usually watch Coronation Street anymore.
