Dos_Box Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 I don't think it's just Haribo doing this, though but in the past year or so since they began to introduce stricter advertising restriction on childrens TV I've nopticed that many ads such as Haribo are not only having adults 'star' in them but are appearing later and later in the schedules. I'm sure I'm seeing these ads on at 9:30pm and later now. Is it just me being paranoid or is the confectionary industry trying to make for potantial lost sales by targetting adults now?
3s-gtech Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 Quite possible, although Haribo have had the 'kids and grown-ups..." tag line for years. And why not - if adults want to rot their teeth, at least they can make a more informed/responsible/apathetic choice. Many businesses have realised the potential of selling to adults the things they had as kids - look at the Lego sets, retro game systems etc that all seem to be doing well.
mavhc Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 Main reason I wouldn't buy sweets is they used to cost 1p, now they cost £4.99 1

mikkydoos Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) Craving fruit salads now. Was this some sort of subtle advertising campaign? Drumsticks lollies. Some were hard.. the best ones were really soft. We used to squeeze them in the shop. One of my favourite things as a kid was my little silver Concorde I got in a Kinder egg.... oh dreamy days OMG! Shrimps. I'm getting some NOW! You are a total b*gger @DosBox !!! Edited May 5, 2016 by mikkydoos
tmoon-mint Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 Used to love fruit winders as a kid. Had one the other day and it just tasted like a roll of sugar. Really dissapointed
witch Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 Every town I go to has a retro sweet shop these days. This is ours: Retro Sweets, Old Fashioned Sweets, Real Butter Fudge, Chocolate, Confectionery - ThePinkSugarMouse.com I even got "sweet tobacco" there
