A ‘Yowie’ is the mythical indigenous Australian equivalent to a Yeti/Sasquatch/abominable snowman etc.
Is it? I thought they made it up. Its hardly a common legend like the Bunyip.
Vegemite and cheese on fresh buttered bread - absolutely! 'It goes on forever' is a dual message - the longevity of the product in the marketplace, and the value - a jar that size lasts us for 6 months.
Too difficult for this guy
Wrigley's "P.K." chewing gum was named after Philip Knight Wrigley, the confectionery wholesaler's CEO from 1925 until 1961
Mellow Yellow is actually an old pop song, which is why Caramellow Koala has the same tune
A 60s classic by the artist known as "Donovan"
Around '67.
vegemite and cheese is actually pretty good 😊 aw I miss the gobbledock ad, he was so cute lol 😅
then also add on
onion and tomato 😋
😉😃
✌🏻🌏🇦🇺🤘🏻
@@claire-christmas-august73haven't tried it like that, think i might but 😊
He's back too. Have seen some recent promos with him.
@@gregmccallum3124 i used to love watching him come on TV when I was a kid lol
Cute? Geez that things is scary af lol
Ryan Australia pays workers way more than the US which is why burgers cost more.
Vegemite is great with anything that goes well with salt. Eggs, avocado, cheese (even leftover mashed potato on toast). Also a good umami boost in your cooking. It's actually pretty versatile. I don't remember that Vegemite ad and I'm an oldie - would have been a rare departure from the usual "We're happy little Vegemites" and versions thereof.
vegiemite on garlic bread
Peanut butter goes well,with vegemite
@@jenniferbell6832 I loooove peanut butter and Vegemite but didn't mention that one because most people think it is odd. Glad to see another fan!
@@merribell Whole family's spread of choice! Must be crunchy PB!
The US chain Burger King couldn't use their own brand in Australia, as the name had been trademarked by a takeaway chain based in Adelaide. The Hungry Jack's brand was established instead, and the first store opened in Innaloo, Perth on 18 April 1971
I grew up about 6 streets away from inaloo hungry jacks in the 70s. Kentucky fried chicken was also next door ..both stores still in the same location 50+ years later which is kind of amazing considering how built up that area is now
And being in Innaloo 20yrs ago really was like being in a loo.
@terencemcgeown2358 hey it's better than being up a swan😉 only Perth people will get that .did you live in Perth?.I lived in doubleview next door to inaloo but moved away in 1983 .wish I could afford to move back there now .very expensive now being so close to Scarborough Beach ⛱️
@@ACDZ123 yeah mate I grew up in Kenwick. I spent most of my time between Armadale & Cannington growing up until I moved to Bassendean (another toilet) I couldn't leave KGB area quick enough for Kalgoorlie. In Tassie these days.. I had a laugh at up a swan, haven't heard of that in years.
@@ACDZ123 with ACDZ in ya username have you been to Bonn Scott's grave site.? I was there the day they put up the statue of him.
Congratulations! You are a fully accredited 'Honorary Aussie' when the first thing you yell while watching an old Vegemite Commercial is " OMG! That's Way TOO MUCH!"
I'd forgotten all about the Gobble Docks! There were MILLIONS of Aussie parents who wanted to climb through the screens and throttle the creators of those ADVTs - after their kids kept making creepy squeaky noises and hollering; " Chippy! Chippy! Chippeeeeeee's!'
wasnt there even a song in regards to the gobbledock? th-cam.com/video/LS76EY2SHOA/w-d-xo.html
Our fast food is more expensive because australia pays a higher basic living wage, paid sick days and annual leave, free basic healthcare and we don’t have a tipping culture.
Things cost a little more because costs are a little higher.
Australia already had an independent burger place called Burger King, so the guy who wanted to set up the American Burger King here called it Hungry Jack's instead. The burgers are pretty good!
A bit weird they didnt just use Burger Queen to keep the association to BK.
They have the most amazing chips too
Its a copyright nightmare . If burger king in the states has it’s name Burger King copyright, then I don’t understand how another company in Australia could have used the same name anyway hungry jacks make great burgers and other food
@@LukeTobias-x7u yup, makes no sense. Whoever made a chain of it first would own it globally you would think. Because normally its globally like Star Wars and Disney is not something you can just use in Italy or whatever. That's owned already. But idk about food related stuff. I kniw China don't give a flying fuck about who owns stuff. When Lucas had his premiere night on The Phantom Menace he noticed the queue was very short at the cinema but very long to some kind of video store. And he found out the queue was for the bootleg dvd of TPM that was getting a premiere that night. Thats when he found out China did their own shit. Apparently its not worth going into courts over as he was told he couldn't win. Weird but there you go.. 😎
@@ebbhead20you can’t own global trademarks - no such thing exists. Trademarks are by country and if you wish to register it in a different country you have to apply to that country and request registration of your name in their system. This is exactly what Burger King did- they went from country to country and registered their brand domestically in each. But they couldn’t do so in Australia because the name was taken.
Sourdough, Vegemite and smashed avo, yummm. We also rub Vegemite over rump roasts before roasting. Yum
The Gobbledok from the Smiths chips ad probably reminds you of ALF, that 80s sitcom about a fuzzy alien that looks kinda similar.
Oriental chicken wings- marinated in garlic ginger soy and grilled/roasted (not deep fried)
The Burger King vs Hungry Jack's piece runs deeper than it seems. In fact, a later dispute between Burger King Corporation (the US company) and Hungry Jack's Pty Ltd (the Australian company that ran the Australian locations as BK's franchisee) is a really important case in Australian contract law that helped established implied 'good faith' terms in commercial contracts.
A while back, a cairns business was selling imported snacks. I got some mello yello there. We have a variety of lemon soft drinks, including solo, light on the fizz, so you can slam it down fast (jingle/phrase). Which is pretty good. Most soft-drink companies have a lemon, we get lemonade, made from a different citrus, called lemonade, sweeter, very different to a lemon. Your 7-up is a bland version, and sprite was better. We need it for lemon, lime and bitters.
Ryan, im Australian, and vegetamite, is best on fresh bread and great on toast 😀
The fresher the better. You haven't lived until you've tried it on bread that's barely had time to cool down.
@@jackvos8047 Absolutely spot on. Thank you Jack.
You could actually use Wrigleys PK chewing gum - or any brand of chewing gum - to fix a hole in the petrol tank of your car... or a small hole in your wall as it sets rock hard.
"Mellow Yellow" was a song by Donovan, not just an advertising jingle in the US.
You do know the Caramello Koala ''jingle'' was actually a Donovan Lietch song from the 1960s? (It was originally ''Mellow Yellow'')
Mellow Yellow was the original song by Donovan. Many people used the song in commercials
Vegemite goes on and on because it is so salty nothing can grow in it; and is typically used sparingly, so jars last a good while
Vegemite, the forever spread, is referring to it being long lasting. One jar lasts for ages. It means its value for money. I use to have it with potatoes and butter. Also vegemite with Philadelphia cream cheese, nothing like it.
Vegemite and crisp lettuce on a sandwich ( of good cheap Aussie bread of course) is pretty good. Vegemite with tomato on toast.
i've never had tomato on mine but I do love a vegemite and lettuce sandwich or vegemite and grilled cheese on toast
I love tomato and vegemite too...
Wrigley's P.K. Chewing Gum is and American brand, thought to be named after Philip Knight Wrigley (December 5, 1894 - April 12, 1977). "Often called P. K. Wrigley, he was an American chewing gum manufacturer and a Major League Baseball executive, inheriting both of those roles as the quiet son of his much more flamboyant father, William Wrigley Jr." - Wikipedia
Cheers m8!
That ain’t enough Vegemite for my liking. I spread it on like I’m laying bricks…
probably shitting bricks too
The Red Rooster Oriental Chicken had an Oriental Sauce on it, you obviously weren't watching hard enough.
I haven't seen the Gobbledock ad in so long.
About the vegemite use in the old ad.
You have to remember advertising executives are often foreigners... and not all admen are Vegemite eaters.
The RAV4 commercials with the Camels always got me ! I remember Derek, Colin, Wayne......But apparently, the Camels never had those names !...So, is that a Hypnosis thingy !!
Mellow Yellow is a song by Donovan released in 1967.
Hungry, hungry Ryan! 🙁 Yeah Caramello Koalas! 🎶😋 And "Chippies"!! 😁💕👍
P.K is Actually American from the Wrigley's company. The son Phillip Knight took over the company & rebranded it to P.K in the 1940's. I know this from about 2hrs ago watching a vid on life raft MRE's used by American pilots from the war. They had them in ration tins.
PK chewing gum originated in Britain in 1920, shortly after that it came to Australia. It wasn’t a rebranding but a new pellet shaped gum (American markets kept with sticks of gum). Philip Wrigley took over the company in the early 1930s after his fathers death. The PK product was named after “packed tight, kept right”, a slogan they developed to promote it.
God I’m feeling SOooooo old 😫…. Everything from Caramello Koala onwards I actually remember seeing on my tv in the 90’s 😂😂…. Except Hungry Jacks, cos my town didn’t have a HJ’s in the 90’s…. That I remember lol
Vegemite and cheese is classic Aussie fare. Also lovely as a toastie.
Omg, no way only Vegemite. Add anything veg and cheese and lettuce sandwiches were a favourite when I was a kid! Egg, lettuce a veg! Yummy. Grilled Vegemite and cheese sandwiches… you name it, it was a go!
Vegemite and cheese as a toastie is the hest. Also originally "Happy little vegemite" also it us 100 years old this year
I used to buy PK as a kid from the early '70's at the country footy
The Gobbledock was a funny creature. I loved it when he appeared on Doug Mulray night time show and he shot him. Laughed my ass off. He got axed because of that. Smith's chips was one of his major sponsors. G'day from Australia.
Vegemite and cheese is the best! Also great with eggs. 👍
Unfortunately money is relative so $19.90 in Australia will always be 1990cents irregardless of the exchange rate.
Yes, mellow yellow was a drink.
Vegemite and cheese is delicious! With a bit of onion as well is yum.
OMG I FORGOT ABOUT THOSE SMITHS CHIPS ADS!!!😮😮😮
Cheese and Vegemite on fresh bread is the best
Hey Ryan, in the 90’s everyone was smoking too much weed, 😂 maybe they had the munchies when these adds were made ! IDK,it’s all too hectic.
I love Vegemite and lettuce sandwiches. I can't be the only one
Needs salted tomato and cheese as well .just lettuce is so boring Lol
These ads feel like late 80s to mid 90s
it was so cheap back then thats insane if i wanted 1 cheese burger from maccas its like $4.50 and a drink is also that much for a large
Vegemite and a mild cheese (not orange cheese, please God) is not bad, but my favourite is fresh bread, butter, then peanut paste (peanut butter) and Vegemite.
Vegemite goes on forever because it's always been there and will continue to be there.
Prices are relative. when l bought my first car gas was 10cents a litre .my wages were only 29 bucks per week..how do you like them apples..1973 nz
I really enjoy your posts but fair dinkum, we might call afternoon “arvo” as in “ I’m going there this arvo” or “ this arvo I did this” or but when meeting we say “g’day” or “hi” or “ hello” like most others do.
At 1:21 that’s a young Nicole Kidman.
In Australia Burger King becomes Hungry Jacks due Burger King already being registered in Australia.
Vegemite and cheese toasties are the best, you have to try it.
Vegemite is always on the shelf it’s always there
the plane was there because of a competition to win a holiday to Hong Kong
Classics!
I like toasted cheese & Vegemite yummy
The oriental chicken wings were apparently dipped in 'oriental sauce'. If i can work that out fron watching, you probably need to watch more and comment less
1:01 Ryan Cheese and Vegemite is good I still do that but I don't know about Egg and Vegemite🤢🤮each to their own I guess.
The Hungry Jacks burgers are better. There have been research on them and they have less sugar and fat.
Vegemite and cheese is delicious
Parents not home just eat Vegemite sandwiches.
Haha, in your attemp at the aussie accent I heard , British, kiwi and South African accents but not anything resembling Australian.
The song "Mello Yellow" was written in the mid-60s & released by Donovan in 1966. It reached #2 on the Billboard charts that year. It's been a popular song used in various commercials for Coca Cola's Mello Yello, Cadburys Caramello Koala chocolates, The Gap and Lipton among others.
As for Vegemite & cheese - this has been a longtime favourite - the current commercial version of this is a "cheesymite scroll" sold by many bakers.
Caramello koala sounded like the original Yellow Wiggle Greg
You can buy a bottle of vegemite and cheese mixed together. Kid food is tiger toast, with butter, vegemite and cheddar cheese strips, under the griller, until it bubbles and browns a bit. You can eat just butter and vegemite on white sangers, you may need a bit more for a bun, the bread dilutes it a bit. Add avocado to vegemite toast, or cottage cheese, both turn down the strength of vegemite a bit. As pictured in the ad, you can add lettuce, tomato, avo, grated carrot etc, as you like it. We put a small bit in boiled veg- carrot, pumpkin, potato, for mashed baby food, add it to soups or use it in hot water as a wierd drink, swirl a spoon, with a bit on it, unti you have a good colour? Some of us eat lots of it others hardly any. The wierd bikkies in the ad, with black bits on top are vita-wheat biscuits, you butter and vegemite 'em, put 'em together, squish it and get "worms" on the outside through all the holes in them. If you had wheat bix, cereal bricks, you could butter them and top with what you liked, maybe peanut paste and honey, with banana on top. Put a big spoonful of peanut paste on the bread, make a space in the middle, put in honey and stir in, then spread out, (saves a dirty plate.) Add strips or rounds of banana, top and eat, try not lose any bits? Have you tried a Chip Buttie?, use buttered bread or a buttered roll, open a packet of salt and vinegar chips. Squash as many as you can get on there, layer them up. Squash your bread flat with your hand and work out how to pick it up and hold it together, try not to lose too many bits, stick 'em back in off the plate. For hot chips, try kfc and their gravy, on one of their dinner rolls, or on a burger roll. Try cold or hot chicken bits and avo cubes, add more salad if wanted, with mayo on one side of bread instead of butter, and gravy on the other side. Have fun.
I just love that song.
@@bronwyn6415Yep, "Mellow Yellow", never fails to make me mellow. "Catch the Wind", is a most beautiful Donovan song, too.
@bhsaproduction, "Mellow Yellow", is a classic, as is Donovan.
P.K gum is named after the son of the founder of Wrigley's gum - Phillip Knight Wrigley. Notice there is no full stop (or period, as you Americans would say, after the K). The Burger King name was already registered in Australia. Jack Cowin, the owner of the chain in Australia selected one of Pillsbury's food brands pancake mix - Hungry Jack. The oriental chicken wings were because of the dipping sauce. For your interest, Juicy Fruit gum in Australia is candy-coated pellets, similar to P.K. This is an advert featuring Nicole Kidman's sister, Antonia. She appears at the 4 second and 22 second mark. th-cam.com/video/8Iwb8QWXByM/w-d-xo.html
Mate you need to get out a bit ..get some excerise or something...and leave your phone at home lol
Wrigleys Gum is American Owned: Mars.
My Dad picks the fruit that goes to 'Cottee's...that makes the cordial...that I like best
oh, i only know of their jams
That was one of the most catchy ones, as well as aeroplane jelly and Vegemite song.
@@suesmith7946 I'm a Weetbix kid
@@KingOfGamesss oh yeah! How could I forget that one!
@@suesmith7946 Not...happy...'Jan'!
Old food ads from Australia should always include Bananas- make those bodies sing! First produced in the 90s and reproduced over the years. Uplifting showing healthy, active aussie kids. Great jingle you should watch.
Regarding 'Vegemite Goes On Forever', Vegemite turns 100 years old this year. Invented in 1923.
Cheese & vegemite sandwiches are a staple of school lunches😊
So vegemite is the same age as disney
Mello Yello was available in Australia until the early 1990s, then got replaced by Lift, which stayed the same for a pretty long time until it got absorbed into the Fanta range for five minutes, then reintroduced as a reconfigured alternative to Solo (the other big lemon flavoured soft drink/soda/pop), then got replaced by a caffeinated lemon Sprite.
Vegemiite can add flavour to gravy too. Nice with cheese ..the cheese kind of smoothes out the sharpness of the Vegemite..try it!
That vegemite slogan DID NOT STICK lol. I don't even remember hearing that one
Me either.
Great South African accent there Ryan, getting closer mate. We still have our poached eggs on vegemite toast, just this morning actually, great umami.
I remember the Samboy ads from the early 80s, simple and funny. Chicken flavor (a big chicken pops out and flattened the guy), salt & vinegar (guy is doused with buckets of vinegar and mounds of salt), BBQ (falls from above). Just to mention a few.
The flavour really hits you, that was the catchphrase I think.
Yes we do eat cheese and egg with vegemite...I like melted cheese with small amount of vegemite...after all its a salty umami flavour..wonderful with avocado on toast..you should try Ryan...😊😊😊
Vegemite and avo on toast is pretty good.
The food prices sound expensive for the time compared to America because Australian companies have to pay a proper decent wages. Wages in Australia aren’t subsidised with tips.
Pizza Hut price includes home delivery we also don’t pay tips
Well, a whopper alone here is now $8.80 and a medium onion rings is $3.80.
Ryan many of us have left comments about cheese, avocado or egg on Vegemite toast. Read the comments mate.
He doesn't read them. Your wasting your time. He's here for the cash and gifts, not your comment . Cheers .
He does read them! He mentions this often in his channel. Don’t forget he has a new born baby too and has to spread his time to work, this channel and family. We love Ryan ❤❤❤
@@carmie9759 he doesn't , otherwise he'd know more about Australia than we do. Love him, you don't even know him lol.
@@Watsupyoutube It's not that serious guys.
@@Watsupyoutube I agree. That became very evident back in the correct Emu pronunciation times. I still like what he posts and read my fellow Aussie's comments. Takes just a short time. One young baby (not newborn now) shouldn't stop him reading all comments.
I still remember people holding bags of chips saying chippie chippie chippie pretending they are gobble docs 🤣
"Mello Yello" coined a phrase used during in water restrictions to help kids remember to save water "If it's Yellow let it mellow, if it's brown flush it down".
Egg on Vegemite on bread is awesome. I do it regularly. On Turkish bread, lightly toasted, with sausages is my staple weekend brekkie. Cheese optional. I often include cheese (let it melt on the hot egg). Eggs usually scrambled but poached works well too.
"Mellow Yellow" was a song by the singer Donovan 👍
mellow yellow was a song by donovan in the 60's.
"Chippyyyy!" Remember hearing that on the CB once...so funny! Especially from a trucky in a funny mood! :D
Ohhh....not sure if you missed it, or just didn't sing it. At the end, all you sang was Caramello. But if you rewatch the ad, the other animals sing koala. So it sings "They call me caramello koala"
Stop saying happy arvo no one in oz sayz that at all.your better off saying,
Hey guys hope you've all had a great day I'm bla bla bla
Ryan, you need to remember Australian pays their employees, a decent wage not like the Yanks have to rely on tips to get their money
I remember as a kid you could get from KFC
10 pieces of Chicken,
2Lg chips,
Lg coleslaw,
Lg Potato and gravy,

Now you can get

2 lg chips.
For $19.95 ($13.30usd)
Aaaaah the olden days!!!
Australian commercials really lifted its game in the 90s. Those targeted at children had catchy jingles. The ones aimed at adults were naughty and funny which made them more memorable. Mid 90's they began to make advertisements into series e.g. the gobbledock, where it was like watching short episodes of a show. A great example of one is "Rhonda & Ketut" from the AAMI ads.
Hilarious that most of those ads were imports from American culture!
There was also the Milky Bar Kid and Chokito ads I remember well.
The "mellow yellow"/"Caramello" is actually the tune from British singer/composer Donovan's "Yellow Mellow". In the 60's we used to think it was a reference to smoking banana peel (thought to be hallucinogenic), which worked in well with your "what were they smoking" remark, alas it turned out to be a reference to a banana shaped electrical dildo of all things.
you pay more than that now for the onion rings by them self.
The Vegemite ad with the endless Vegemite was probably done by having the Vegemite already on the bun but covered by something looking like white bun and they scraped the white covering off.
The “gobbledoc” ads were a series of commercials over several years.
I prefer hungry jacks over Macca's
@@lindamcgregor4080 ok
Nope that's not what they did at all. They used basic compositing techniques. They film the roll without anything on it then they filmed the knife moving along a pre -slathered roll. It's then a matter of masking out the Vegemite before the knife and removing the mask from behind it as it's moved along.
@@jackvos8047 you do know that ad is from like 40 yrs ago don’t you.
Compositing like that would have cost millions.
On saying that, I’m not sure how they did it. I would have done it with practical effects as cheap as possible. But that’s me. 😃
@@fugawiaus compositing has been around for 120 years or so now. If it's computer compositing they used then yes it probably would have cost millions at the time, not so much for other older technology that had been used in low budget sci-fi like Star Trek TOS & Doctor Who since at least the 60's.
Edit: A sure sign that it's not the type of practical effect that you propose is that the knife remains clean throughout.
Vegemite and cheese sandwiches food of the gods!!!🎉😂
Vegemite and cheese TOASTED sandwiches is the food of the gods!!!
There I fixed it for ya 😜😂
I remember most of those lol.... ty for the nostalgia.
I've always wondered why so many Americans say carmel instead of caramel?
I used to drive trucks for a wholesale grocery business in Brisbane. One of the supermarkets I went to was run by a immigrant Greek couple. When I turned up, the whole family turned out to unload the truck, ( everything came off by hand in those days. ) It didn't matter what it was that came off the truck, the store owners' two daughters knew the TV ad. jingle for it! And they would sing it! Their father used to look up at me on the back of the truck and, shaking his head, say, "Too much TV. Too much bloody TV!"
When considering/judging fast food prices in the 90s, please remember that Australian employers were required to pay a living wage
