Talk to Cadbury about the modern Milk Tray Man and you could win a £200 Experience Day Gift Card NOW CLOSED

[AngelieMumsnet]

Thirty-five years since his first appearance, the Milk Tray Man is back and is being re-imagined for the 21st century. Cadbury are keen to hear from Mumsnetters about who they think best represents the modern Milk Tray Man (or woman!).

Cadbury say “The Milk Tray man is back and he’ll be daring but caring, thoughtful yet thrill-seeking - and he’ll go to any lengths to deliver a box of Milk Tray to a loved one.”

What traits do you think the modern Milk Tray Man or woman should have, and who do you think best embodies these qualities? Your favourite actor, dressed to thrill in a smart black polo neck and grappling hooks . Your best friend, who’s helped you through some tough times? Maybe your partner has all the key qualities?

Whomever you think represents the modern Milk Tray Man, Cadbury would love to hear about it.

Everyone who adds a comment will be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £200 Experience Day Gift Card for you and your loved one(s).*

Tall, dark, handsome, funny, thoughtful, caring, helpful about the house, supportive, did I mention rich??

Love the Mel & Sue idea.

Liam Neeson, you can tell he would go through he'll and high water to bring you a delicious box of chocs!

I like the idea of a different milk tray person in different situations doing something kind or rewarding kindness with the chocolates. So they're recognisable by the unisex black poloneck and maybe a dramatic exit but otherwise ordinary people and highlighting good deeds in others by being appreciative.

Travis Fimmel, very easy on the eye!

Eugh, its such a slimy idea there can be only one winner.. Mr Andre!

I can't eat dairy, so Milk Tray is out for me. Maybe I can ask the Milk Tray mystery person to deliver a box of chocolates to my anorexic DD (currently in an adolescent unit) in such a way that she actually wants to eat them! (Good luck breaking in, you'll be surrounded by the nursing staff within seconds, and they'll pat you down for contraband and take the chocs off you.)

Even better, send them to Syrian refugees, or Ethiopia, Brazil flood rescue workers, Ebola medics...

A man with no underpants would be good!

Obviously someone crap as cadburys chocolate tastes crap since being taken over by kraft. It's inedible so who gives a damn.

How about putting the money you would have spent on the new Milk Tray Man towards paying your dodged taxes? www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/cadbury-owner-mondelez-international-paid-no-uk-tax-since-115bn-takeover-in-2010-a6762421.html

I would like the original Milk Tray Man, with a box of the original recipe chocs. Fat chance of that happening though. Bit of a pointless exercise, all this hype, as the product is disgusting.

If the new Milk Tray man isn't an obese Yorkshireman and/or flamboyantly camp, I'll devour this black polo-neck sweater out of protest.

If your milk tray man isn't gagging on the disgusting shite that is today's Cadbury chocolate could he be put to use either a) wondering why he has to be a man, and not a woman and b) finding a super clever way for Mondelez to pay a fair rate of taxes?

Once he's done the above perhaps he could work on making your product less shite

Thank you Cadbury Marketing people for allowing me to freely express myself. I hope this is helpful to you

Yes, got to be the milk tray woman, buying it for herself!

Nigella Lawson would be my choice .

My advert plot: Milk Tray Man gets given a box of Milk Tray for christmas by his mum (ignoring his plea for socks) and he is mightily pissed off because he hates Milk Tray, so he gets in his helicopter to get rid of them in some women's bedroom. Woman is also pissed off with this gift of Milk Tray (thinking "what the fuck; you mad bro?" ) and so she gets in her powerboat and dumps them on some poor unsuspecting bloke in his living room while he's watching the Boxing Day football on telly.

Each advert shows the new reciever of the chocs dumping them on someone else. Eventually in the last advert, the box of Milk Tray is dumped on Ronnie Corbett in the bath.

Absolutely.

It's not a new Man that's needed but a new name for the new product. Something that fairly describes the sickly corn sugar and oily soya aftertaste of the stuff.

She'd be better off saving some money and buying better chocolate at Aldi or Lidl, with two or three times as much chocolate in the recipe.

I would like someone to come in, cook a decent meal or get me a good takeaway. Run me a bath and just let me relax without feeling even slightly guilty!

There's probably some kind of butler service for what you're after Rigbyroo.

Think for funny I'd go Bill Bayley - pmsl

For real sex appeal it would be toss up between Idris and that guy from Poldark but only 'cos my fella is busy

That last link is awful.

No wonder this thread is closing, now people are learning the truth about Cadbury's.

Ralph Fiennes please. Perhaps he could present the Choc's to me whilst saying something a bit Shakspean like ..
“Hear my soul speak. Of the very instant that I saw you, Did my heart fly at your service” ...
Ummm, now that's I call yummy!
