Thank goodness for milk

Thank goodness for milk

OPINION: Fonterra may be planning to sell its Anchor brand but it’s continuing to promote milk. In their latest advertisement, Anchor and TBWA\New Zealand have reimagined what the world would be like without milk – to remind Kiwis to celebrate World Milk Day.

Anchor’s new ads shows what a melancholy place a milkless world would be: committing cookie sacrilege by dipping delicious biscuits into tall glasses of water; starting the day off with bowls of water-soaked cereal; and causing grumpy cats everywhere to get even grumpier with Anchor’s Zero Lacto milk nowhere in sight.

These dystopian, devoidof- dairy scenes coupled with the simple statement ‘Thank Goodness for Milk’ remind viewers to remember the pivotal role milk plays.
