Your Monday Morning Mental Sorbet: N.16, Prepare to Be Vaporized

Each week we like to give you something to start things off right. Or wrong. Depending on which way the wind is blowing. This week, it's true that a lot of people are still off work due to the Christmas holiday. However, many people worldwide are still grinding away at their respective day jobs. This bud's for you.

We kick off the week with a brief intro that's stated to be for an Australia drive-in from 1968. It is the epitome of retro gold.

The first thing that strikes me about this is that even though this seems to be legit and from Australia, the narrator sounds like the South Park guys doing their "Announcer Guy" voice, know what I mean?

Direct link for the feedreaders.

The second thing that strikes me is this: was it common for burgers in the 60s to be "crunchy" as a good thing? Has burger technology advanced since then? Or was that considered an Australian delicacy?
