  • Let's take a stroll down memory lane and look at some old New Zealand TV ads from the 80s!
    Maybe you're old enough to remember some of these ads on TV, maybe you're not, but even if you're viewing these old New Zealand TV ads for the first time , you might notice that TV ads used to be a big deal and ad agencies would spend A LOT of money producing ads for . In this compilation alone you'll see one particular ad that was on screen in New Zealand in the late 80s that featured Stevie Ray Vaughan.
    This compilation features some ads that ran from the mid to late 80s. I would put some up from the earlier 80s but I was too young to remember much from that era.
    0:00 - Cadbury Creme Eggs
    0:30 - Give em a taste of kiwi!
    01:00 - New Zealand Insurance
    0:2:00 - ATARI ST "SUPER COMPUTER"
    02:30 - L&P Heatwave
    03:30 - Cadbury Moro
    04:02 - Melancholic Toyota Corolla Ad
    05:01 - Aussies with pimples
    05:30 - Video Shops?
    06:15 - Emotional Georgie Pie Ad
    07:15 - Europa Petrol Stations - "Travellin On" with Stevie Ray Vaughan
    10:02 - Sprite
    10:33 - Cadbury Crunchie - The Great Train Robbery

    • @DoubleMonoLR
      @DoubleMonoLR Рік тому +1

      It's a stretch to claim it's being advertised as a health bar, unlike the plethora of bars *now* that present themselves as healthy, which are still very high energy intake and ultimately contain large amounts of sugar & fat.
      There's only a single word that could be taken to mean that - 'goodness', which I'd take to be in relation to natural ingredients perceived as higher quality and more enjoyable.
      Nobody then considered them as 'healthy'(though like any bar they're not going to do any harm eaten occasionally), but naturally they do supply energy and eating them around the time of playing rugby as shown is appropriate.
