Since 1989, Dave Thomas, who died at age 69, was one of the most recognizable faces on TV. He appeared in more than 800 commercials for the hamburger chain named for his daughter. “As long as it works,“ he said in 1991, “I’ll continue to do those commercials.“ Even though he was successful, Thomas remained troubled by his childhood. “He still won’t let anyone see his feet, which are out of shape because he never had proper fitting shoes,“ Wendy said in 1993. Born to a single mother, he was adopted as a baby by Rex and Auleva Thomas of Kalamazoo in Michigan. After Auleva died when he was 5, Thomas spent years on the road as Rex traveled around seeking construction work. “He fed me,“ Thomas said, “and if I got out of line, he’d beat me.“ Moving out on his own at 15, Thomas worked, first as a waiter, in many restaurants. But he had something much better in mind. “I thought, if I owned a restaurant,“ he said, “I could eat for free.“ A 1956 meeting with Harland Sanders led Thomas to a career as the manager of a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant that made him a millionaire in 1968. In 1969, after breaking with Sanders, Thomas started the first Wendy’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers, in Columbus, Ohio, which set itself apart by serving made-to-order burgers. With 6,000 restaurants worldwide, the chain now makes $6 billion a year in sales. Although troubled by his own experience with adoption, Thomas, married since 1954 to Lorraine, 66, and with four grown kids besides Wendy, felt it could offer a future for other children. He started the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption in 1992. In 1993, Thomas, who had left school at 15, graduated from Coconut Greek High School in Florida. He even took Lorraine to the graduation dance party. The kids voted him most likely to succeed. “The Dave you saw on TV was the real Dave,“ says friend Pat Williams. “He wasn’t a great actor or a great speaker. He was just Joe Everybody“.

If you come to Australia, leave your naughty habits at the door. If you live here, get back in your box. The Australian government announced in the Federal Budget on Tuesday that it will be slogging smokers top dollar for a pack of ciggies. Right now, they cost on average A$25 ($18.91) to A$30 for a packet of 20 or 25 cigarettes, which would already seem like highway robbery to anyone living in any other country on earth. Now, the government will be increasing the cost of cigarettes by 12.5% annually for four years. The increase will smack smokers in September each year. If you work off a packet costing A$25 today, by 2020 it will set you back a hefty A$40. So unless you are living in a life of luxury, it is probably going to break the bank. Must be time to read the “How to stop smoking“ book your old neighbor Dave recommended in 2012. If you think you’ll just bring the cigarettes in through the duty free back door, think again. The government is reducing the amount of cigarettes you can bring into the county from 50 cigarettes to 25 cigarettes. Not 25 packs, 25 individual cigarettes. That’s one packet. This price hike will earn the government A$4.7 billion and it will take the tax excise on cigarettes to almost 69% of the average price of a cigarette currently. This is in line with recommendations from the World Health Organization, which advised governments to increase tax by 70% so that it becomes unaffordable. “These changes will improve the health of Australians by reducing their exposure to tobacco products and will ensure that tobacco products consumed domestically are fully taxed and comply with Australian regulations.“ the government noted in the budget papers. This increase will see Australia remaining easily the most expensive place in the world for smokers. In 2015, cigarettes in the city of Melbourne cost 142% more than in New York. Cigarettes in Sydney were 130% more, according to a Deutsche Bank report. Australia already has plain packaging laws, which see cigarettes wrapped in generic mould green color and slapped with a photograph of a dying baby. No more sneaky ciggies for you, casual smoker!
