Caption / body copy:We're such good friends, if I got invited to a big Hollywood party, I'd call you the minute I got home. Or if you had stuff on your face, I'd tell you, sooner or later. Right, like now, sort of. But this is to tell more women to drink skim milk. It has all the calcium without all the fat. Well, isn't that what friends are for?
Body-copy summary:Friends-themed dialogue leading into a skim-milk/calcium message.
