Dentyne Make Face Time

Cadbury is linking Dentyne gum with making “face time”, encouraging internet users to allocate time to be with friends, face to face. The advertising campaign, launched in 2008, includes a television commercial, a series of print advertisements, and an interactive site (makefacetime.dentyne.ca) which can only be accessed for three minutes at a time.
