I figure we'll switch over to Maytag next week, but this week, we re-visit 1978...

KitchenAid dishwasher at 0:22. Those bags of compacted trash may comprise 1/6th the physical space than not-compacted but they have the same weight. I recall someone, somewhere years ago commented that the compacted bags are heavy.

Looks like a KDI-17. Surprised there's non Whirlpool appliances in the clip.

Trash compactor bags are heavy. We used a Lady Kenmore for a while. Our city provided trash can is large. We put one or two kitchen 13 gallon bags in it per week. The collection trucks compact the garbage anyway

Most likely because the ad appears to be for the St. Regis Paper Co. I remember having that brand of notebook paper when I was a kid.

I noticed that too- and it was back in the 70’s when they were competitors. Companies wouldn’t let a slip like that happen in an ad today, although a mix and match of brands is more realistic in most households. Anything in an ad today makes it look like everyone has a $250,000 kitchen with matching everything.

There was a St. Regis paper mill not far from me. Unfortunately, it was shuttered and demolished leaving over 1000 people without jobs.
