The California Milk Processor Board (CMPB), creator of the iconic ‘Got milk?’ statement, is launching a new phase of the long-running campaign, ‘You Can Count on Milk’ that utilizes kids to great effect and is designed to appeal to millennial families throughout California.

The CMPB, together with lead agency-of-record Gallegos United, today (July 11) is launching the new $16-million-dollar, statewide advertising initiative. The campaign, with both English and Spanish-speaking spots, highlights the everyday challenges kids face in their lives, using a comedically honest tone that’s just as fitting for adults.

In one spot, kids are seen at a table, talking over the rough days they’ve had. One girl states how tough her time at ‘Take Your Kid to Work Day’ was for her, while another laments the diorama she had to make for class. The third nails his rough day by stating that he got cast as a fence in the school play, then states that his allowance negotiations are being lowballed. They all commiserate over glasses of cold milk, brought by a sympathetic and familiar server. In a six-second spot, a kid with a glass of milk by a jukebox states, flat out, that he doesn’t trust any man who doesn’t drink milk.

Two Spanish language spots show similar tough days for kids. In one, two kids observe their friend being fawned, hugged and pinched by overly-friendly relatives, much to the chagrin of the lovingly mauled child.
