And here’s some terrific marketing speak about the great food: Oreo moments began to be featured in ads more than two decades ago, said John Campbell, worldwide account director on the Kraft Foods account at Draftfcb, as “more moms entered the work force, people got more busy and more of the carefree moments of childhood were being lost.” “The ‘twist, lick and dunk’ ritual was a wonderful way to respond to that by w88 slowing people down to enjoy cookies and milk, what they grew up with,” he added. Given what the lives of adults are like now, the idea of Oreo moments “becomes more and more relevant now, with every passing day,” Mr. Campbell said. “The time was right to amp that up and play it even harder than we’ve been.” Happy birthday, Oreos.
