  • Gotta love these 80s supermarket ads. Back then there was none of this corporate "We at ASDA have cheaper products than Morrisons and we love it so much we'd sniff our own farts" rubbish.

    The glory days when the only way to advertise supermarkets was to have a cheesy jingle playing behind someone reading a stupidly long list of cheap stuff.

    Hoorah

  • Safeway was a Melbourne-based company unrelated to the US business (other than in name). When the Sydney-based Woolworths (also unrelated to their US namesake) bought it, they dropped the logo, but kept the name because it had better consumer recognition than Woolworths.

  • You probably should have steered clear when there was no "Fuckwit Pom" in the title, oh well.

  • they left out "be prepared to queue for at least 20 minutes at stores"
