Cabana (chocolate bar)
Cabana was a chocolate bar produced by Rowntree's, combining coconut, caramel, cherries inside a milk chocolate outer layer.
It was first produced in the 1980s[1] It was discontinued in the early 1990s.[2]
The television ad used a version of the song "Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)" (as sung by Harry Belafonte), with the words "Come mister magic man, make me a Cabana", and the strap line was "tropical magic".[3] According to the Daily Mirror, "The dodgy ethnic stereotyping in the advert may have angered Ofcom had it been made today".[4]
