Our marketing friend (We still love him though) says the Cadbury salmonella thing, found it in January and reported it in June, is now just a 'case study'. and when it is judged that the public have forgetton, Cadbury are to spend £10 million on a new marketing drive. Won't that just remind everybody about how they risked the public's health?

I don't know what any of that meant but i am going to say "no" is the answer to your question. Also, everyone uses dollars now, get with the times.

well said Lilly, I hope we NEVER use dollars over here.
Two people I know have caught salmonella recently I don't think they will forget about it, neither will anyone else who has caught it over the past few weeks as a direct result of eating cadburys chocolate or not- it will still be in the back of their mind that it might have been that chocolate egg.
It was also found that the traces were high enough to get the illness and salmonella can lay dormant for months. Most of the public will have forgotten all this by Christmas.

Probably not, you would be surprised at how short "the publics" attention span is. How often have you ever seen an update for a news story three months after the original unless its Maury Povich or Sixty Minutes, it just doesn't happen because people don't care.

This is unknown to most people so I would say the target Cadbury audience (children) can still be reached by a new campaign :)

Probably not, as everyone will be "wow, nice advert, hmm I'm hungry, what shall I have? Oh, there some chocolate in the fridge"
or something like that, they will probably end up playing mind games like "Brand new chocolate bar, less than £1! Yes, it's only 99p!" Or something along those lines, obviously not as exaggerated though.

Hahahaha Big business is going DOWN - it doesn't surprise me that all these huge companies are making foods that are unsafe for people to eat, and they don't care because they're making millions. Eventually, it will catch up to ALL of them.
