A gem of sheer delight, the crunchy candy shell deliciously releases the melting chocolate. The rainbow-hued Cadbury Gems is unique in attraction — available in a
range of packages and measures, its ageless appeal (No Umar for Lalach) surfaces in all situations and circumstances, from museums to garden parties, for toddlers, busy
executives and even pandas! (Rangeen Panda Ki Rangeen Pasand).What started as a tiny button of joy that could fit in a child's fist has become a
universal favourite. The brilliantly colorful delight refuses to let go of its sway over people of all ages. As the ad says, Raho Umarless!
Introduced in India in 1968, Cadbury Gems soon became an instant hit with chocolate lovers, retaining their immense popularity till date.

Cadbury’s Gems cricket game: In a country like India that is mad about cricket it is but natural that the next sales promotion tool also gets linked with the game of cricket. Cadbury’s gems came out with an idea of supplying the customer with a pop up bottle full of gems. The bottle can be used to play very innovative gamed of Indoor cricket. For cricket mad Indians who can play cricket even with a printed book (it is very essential that the book should have page numbers!) the ploy was a huge success.Source: http://dranil-marketingmusings.blogspot.in/2011/01/best-indian-sales-promotions.html
