Milk Can Even Bring Zombies Back To Life

Isn't milk amazing? If it is not making your tea a little bit more special or helping to making to make your bones and teeth stronger, it is helping zombies look, well, less dead.

Or at least that is according to this new video by the South African Dairy Board.

Created by Cape Town agency FoxP2 with the tagline 'Milk: Full of Life', it tries to promote the health benefits of enjoying a daily pint of the white stuff - even to the living dead.

Borrowing heavily from Michael Jackson's Thriller video, it shows a bunch of zombies partying. However, while the rest have ragged clothes, missing limbs and maggot breath, one of their number, Andre, turns up looking like he has just come off some yacht party.

How does he do it? Well, milk, of course. While the rest have been feasting on the brains and organs of the living, good old pastel-coloured Andre has been living the good life thanks to his calcium-rich diet.

It just goes to show: zombies really can be used to promote any product.
