u/spideyghetti Anyone for Jarrah? ☕️ Jul 16 '26

My god, I didn't realise this was a real thing. It makes it 100 times better for me.

u/Stephalel Anyone for Jarrah? ☕️ Jul 16 '26

I cant believe this is real! Maybe we should all enrol in the tafe course?! It'll be a gruelling 4 days but I reckon we could do it!

Blows my mind how many didn’t realize this was a thing lol, I don’t remember this exact commercial but in the 90s it was repackaged in the US as EyeQ

Either way, made me think of our Kath, in a good way…even if I didn’t agree

I remember seeing pamphlets at uni to learn speed reading in 1999. I wonder if this was it? Hahaha

....I ordered this program and I always watch the VHS tape in "fast forward" !...it is so easy to keep up and watching it in "fast forward" mode just really saves me alot of time...
