Remember the Ampol ad was the first “taste” of colour TV? Sent all the epileptics into seizures, but if you squinted, and believed enough, you could make out the red white and blue on the sign.
DRMICK, remember also when they had those coloured strips that stuck on the black and white screens ? What were they thinking ? People that stupid ? You bet ! I reckon they sold thousands (imagine a smilie here….. moderation precaution)
