Princesses Drink Milk for PMS and Ugly Hair
California Milk Processor Board (Got Milk) has released two television commercials using fairy tales with a twist to present milk as the way to deal with PMS and protein-deficient hair. The ads, designed for the Spanish-speaking audience, use the phrase, “Toma Leche” rather than “Got Milk”.

Sad Princess
Once a month, Sensitivity visited the unfortunate princess’ castle who without solace cried hour after hour, day after day. Brave princes came to try and control the sea of suffering but only one could calm the tempest.

The princess’ ugly hair was the reason she was unmarried until the king decided to offer his daughter’s hand in marriage to the man who could take the horrible hair. Not even the most courageous man could take on such a feat, until a wise peasant, without using neither force nor a sword, conquered the princess’ love.

[...] Toma Leche?, oftewel, Got milk? Dat is het thema, al vele jaren, van de beroemde Amerikaanse campagne van de California Milk Processor Board. Deze twee prachtige commercials (de tweede na de overlees), met animatie van Psyop, zijn gemaakt voor de Spaanssprekende markt in de VS. Vandaar Toma Leche. Melk blijkt meer te kunnen doen voor de prinses in deze sprookjes dan we hadden gedacht in deze sprookjes, b.v. bij PMS/premenstrueel syndroom en Horrible Hair (in het echt ook, hoop ik dan maar). Het verantwoordelijke Amerikaanse reclamebureau is Grupo Gallegos. Via TIR. [...]
