[1980pancake]

these ads made my childhood in the 80's! and I too learn't more from them then I did at school. Anyone remember those 'only dags need fags' ads...hmmm

[guatemama2]

I've been singing these PSA's to my kids for a couple years now and am THRILLED to find the videos here ... 'specially 'cause I live in the USA!!

[katanning6317]

Thanks... I was brought up on these ads and am now going to show these to my three little guys...

[drakkas666]

RE Tinagubbings: the song only mentions 5: carbs, fats, protein, minerals and water.

[Quicksilver1111]

don't they mention folate? The part where they say "carbohydrates, fat and protein, provide the energy..." some people say it's "for that" but it sounds more like folate.

God bless youtube - it makes you glad to have lived this long...

[Quicksilver1111]

unless they come back on TV, there's no chance of seeing the teeth or monsters ones on youtube. Channel 9 are stingy and don't want people to view tapes that have been collecting dust for 10 years. At least with channel 7, I could watch old episodes of A*mazing through the National Film and Sound Archive.

need the sharp things like knives and scissors one!!

[linuxpenguin73]

we still say this to our kids: "who knows? mum knows! how do you think she got this far? mum knows doo-doo!" :D They have no frickin idea what we're talking about :)

[southwestblues]

classic, why is the guy in this nude by the way?

[drakkas666]

there is only 5. 5 i tell you, not 6, main nutrients. no wonder i grew up not being able to count!

[baumers]

Yes, my siblings and I would point this out to people whenever this ad come on... But seriously, what a great cultural heritage we Perthites share!

[tinagubbings]

The 6 nutrients known to be essential for human beings are proteins, carbohydrates, fats and oils, minerals, vitamins, and water. Voila - 6 !!

[fknnuttah]

whers the one about dangerous things

[hannahm82]

[sirstretchalot]

[LoardAfroDuck]

I love smacking my mum on the head!

"Who knows?"

"Mum knows!"

[orderinchaos]

My god! I haven't seen this since I was like single digits, and I turn 30 at my next birthday. Thanks so much for putting this up!

[the2manydjs]

Awesome!!! How did you get a hold of this!??!?!

[ctann69]

So am I the only goober who ever bothered to count after they say "Six main nutrients", but then only list 5? Of course we all know the missing sixth nutrient - Vitaming BBBBBBeeeeeeerrrrrr! :->

[Fridgemusa]

Did anyone find the "So brush your teeth instead" clip? I'd also like to see that one!

[Fridgemusa]

Does anyone know the voice or band that did the music to this clip?

[ballrags]

[Annie1962]

[MumKnows]

It's not new as the Channel 9 had no dots until 1988 ....what goes around comes around in TV land. BTW: anyone got a copy of the TEETH commercial that was part of this series.

[orderinchaos]

I remember it from 1985, and it was not new at that point.

[oldkentroad88]

that channel nine symbol is the new one.

must be recent :)

mum'll know

[Annie1962]

No Oldkent, I was singing this in 1981
