Canberra Milk enjoying the limelight

It's been a big week for Canberra Milk and its general manager Gary Sykes. On Thursday he announced the stunning news that Raiders Lime milk would make a return in 2013, delighting many of us who can remember the early 1990s green moo juice that was admittedly an ''acquired taste''. The night before Canberra Milk received national attention when their TV ad featuring Formula One driver Mark Webber appeared on the ABC's Gruen Sweat as a contender for the worst sports-related ad of all time. Sykes wasn't troubled by this, joking that any publicity is good publicity. In fact he boasted that the whole ad had come together for just $10,000 and the cost of getting a film crew to Webber's London base. ''I was in bed last night when it was on [Gruen], I missed it but someone made sure I knew about it. That's fine, we got on [Foxtel's] The Backpage a couple of weeks ago with the same ad, so we're happy.'' All together now ''Iiii-ii-iii-iimmmm a Canberra Milk kid!''
