Werther's Original
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

An Open Bag of Werther's Originals.Werther's Original is a brand of butterscotch toffee candies owned by the German company August Storck KG, based in Berlin, Germany. The candy brand is named after the village of Werther in Westphalia, where the company was founded in 1903. From 1969 onwards the candy was marketed under the brand name Werthers Echte. The brand name Werther's Original was adopted in the 1990s for the international market. Originally available only in the hard form, sweets are now also available as 'chewy toffees', as well as a soft form that resembles wax, which melts easily inside the mouth called 'Caramelts'. A variant with chocolate filling is also available. There are also three sugarfree variants including the original caramel flavor, a caramel coffee swirl, and a caramel mint swirl.

TV advertisements in Germany and the United Kingdom from around 1997 featured a kindly looking moustachioed old man offering Werther's caramel to his grandson. In what has now become commonplace, these were shot in what is termed 'limited palette'[clarification needed] to reflect the product brand, and suggested a halcyon age of innocence, nuclear families and good old-fashioned sweets. The grandfather in the first UK ads spoke with an American accent, and was later localised to Received Pronunciation. In the ads aired in the US, veteran TV actor, Robert Rockwell, played the kind-hearted grandfather.

A major problem with the campaign was that with its retrospective trajectory, no-one in the UK of adult age had any memory of the product.

One UK advert consisted of a montage of the grandfather and grandson bonding together (for example, pointing at animals out of train windows). The lyrics of the song which accompanied this ended: "When one who loves you says to you: You're someone very special too."

Werther's Originals contain milk and soya and may contain wheat, but are suitable for vegetarians[citation needed].[1]
