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

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Burger King vs Hungry Jack's piece runs deeper than it seems.

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.

The Whopper in the US is around $5.95 USD (about $8.65 AUD) and onion rings are $2.99 USD (about $4.63 AUD), so in Australian dollars, it's actually cheaper to buy the burger and onion rings in AUD!!!

The Gobbledock campaign was from around the mid 80's. Brilliant campaign

That Hungry Jacks Whopper and Onion Rings deal for $2.95 would cost roughly $16 now.

the Gobbledock was awesome,, chippy chippy chippy! he was quite popular back in the day. Also Yowies my kids went crazy over, they enjoyed the chocolate, but loved the animal inside, they learned a lot about them all, very educational. I still have boxes of them packed away.. waiting to have grandkids one day...
