    “Besides using Scotch as a prefix in its brand names (Scotchgard, Scotchlite, and Scotch-Brite), the company also used the Scotch name for its (mainly professional) audiovisual magnetic tape products, until the early 1990s when the tapes were branded solely with the 3M logo.”

    1981 dollars, the Aussie dollar was worth more than the US dollar.
    Toshiba must still be making things because I drove past a very large building with Toshiba on the side out in a Western Sydney industrial park. My wife and I discussed this issue of what they are doing these days because neither of us had seen Toshiba products in many years. It is not TV's and other consumer electronics that they used to make. When I looked on the Toshiba Australia website it seems they make industrial machinery, lithium ion batteries, bar code scanners, retail POS equipment, power generation components, and printers. No wonder they had such a huge factory building.

    Damn. I turned 17 in 1981. I remember Apollo and grew up watching this schitz in Australia. I saw your eyebrows go into orbit at the 12 1/4% on the Aussie bonds LOL. The 60s to the 80s was the best time in Australia. It's been downhill ever since, but still the lucky country.
    Scotch did lots of products. Including professional grade audio and video tape, which became 3M later on. Iconic brand. I can still buy scotch (sticky) tape today. Thin film polymers were state of the art in the middle of the 20th century and supported recording media well into the digital age. I believe the Scotch/3M secret was bonding layers indelibly onto the substrate, and of course the consistency of the thin film polymers. Real world material science that everybody used.
    If you're having trouble imagining this period, think old fashioned decadic telephones, zero personal computers, zero takeaway food in most places, and if you wanted to bootleg your favourite songs you recorded them off the AM radio, onto scotch tape if you could afford it.

We didn't care, we had air rifles and push bikes and AM radio and the ABC plus one local TV channel. You mowed the lawn on Sunday and Dad let you have a beer and $2 pocket money afterwards.

    Esso oil is associated with ExxonMobil Oil, Dallas was a dram show from the US - their main star was JR "Larry Hagman" who was also in the TV show "I dream of Jeannie", prior to DVD & CD's cassette & VHS tapes were made by companies like Scotch, TDK, Sony, BASF, Maxell, JVC & Fuji. The AFL "Aussie Rules" ball is slightly thinner & smoother than a rugby ball and have a more pointed end - designed for kicking in the air vs rugby balls that are mostly passed by hand. Toshiba electronics are designed and owned in Japan, they make everything from batteries, semiconductors and lights to laptops, SSD storage devices, medical equipment and home appliances. In 1981 the Aussie Bond rate might have been 12.25% but Home Loan rates were ~16%.

    That was funny to look back at some old ads from forty years ago. I remember them all. My youngest child was born in 1980 so I was a housewife back then.

    Ryan, If you stop and look at the steps for the boot ad, that's what the old $1 note looked like (he obviously climbed 16 of them) before we made it a coin.

    Ryan, I have watched you react to magpies in spring when they try to protect their nests. Please do yourself a huge favour and go The Magpie Whisperer. Have a real look at these amazing smart funny and beautiful singers and get a real balanced view of the Australian Magpie. You will love them.😂

    Dallas is an American TV show.
    Scotch tape is a brand, they were showing cassettes & VHS made by the brand.
    Crosby shoes are still made today.
    Gillette was/is razers. They were probably sponsors in the other add.
    Keep going with parts 2 & 3 🇦🇺💖

    Love it and quite keen on you as well! (You’re safe, I’m in Australia so a fair distance away.) I loved the Aussie Bonds ad. I hope you one day find the Antz Pantz ad and the Come On Aussie ad (for the cricket)…now they’re fun!

  • @davidcruse6589
    @davidcruse6589 Před měsícem +2

    Ahhh simplify times
    Prices seem cheap back then like the shoes
    But wages would've been $100 for a weeks work
    The difference was food water electricity cost almost nothing
    You'd pay a teary fee for water no restrictions on ammount used
    Same electricity was super cheap and gas
    Most government fees where minimum and cost $8 to fill the car
    Also homes on quarter acre and everyone had fruit trees and vegetable garden chooks for eggs and eat
    Used to be able to hunt rabbits for food most bought from pub You'd get two cleaned gutted $2-
    All you had to do was cook them so people where self sufficient even made jams cream butter from milk cheese
    Very little sweets or chips / crisps as you say
    But lots of cakes biscuits made from flour even bread
    Was lots of stuff persevered for out of season
    Some used to smoke their meat to make it last a year bacon fish others meat
    Also pickle meats vegetables so you didn't need alot of Money
    But interest rates on homes where 18 + % they where like 20 gran but most of wages go on as only $100 a week wages
    Fridges TV washing machines furniture all expensive due to being made in country
    So it looks cheap but compare the wage differences at times
    But your money generally went further as amenities and food but clothes much more expensive and wife's used to make family clothes
    Which daughter's helped while being taught
    Boys had to do chores cut fire wood with axe for fires to cook meals and stack inside for the female's of family
    You'd clean out chook pens and gather eggs help digging in gardens planting food all this after school
    Was a hard but a great time compared today everyone was taught where their food came from and the effort it took
    But all natural clean of chemicals as crooks used to look after bugs
    Much different times why I never agree with bigger the country the better it is for everyone the politicians like to say
    No more people less resouces land smaller everything unaffordable and now relying on government's and corporations
    For everything including food and why chemicals as sonny to feed can't afford to loose crops
    Think of life like a pie small surmount of people all get a piece of the pie and full belly
    Same pie lots more people to share with less pie and everyone hungry and some don't even get any pie now
    You can use the same system for money the dollar worth alot when less of it but the more you print the less it's worth
    Which is what government's have been doing to hide recession or depression
    Cheers mate 🦘🇦🇺👍

    Not that I'm not familiar with most of the brands advertised here but the only ad that rung any bells was the "Aussie bonds" 1. Feel like that was iconic for the 80s

    Aussie Rules, Rugby League and Rugby Union balls are all different. Aussie rules - small and light (top brand Sherrin), RL (perfect, leading brand is Steeden), RU (rounder than a RL ball, leading brand Gilbert).
