"Despite 'jandal' being commonly used in New Zealand to describe any manufacturer's brand, the word Jandal is actually a trademark since 1957, for a long time owned by the Skellerup company[citation needed]. In countries other than New Zealand, jandals are known by other names. In Australia they are known as thongs. The first pair were manufactured there by Skellerup rival Dunlop in 1959.[3] Thongs became popular there after being worn by the Australian Olympic swimming team at the Melbourne Olympic Games in 1956[citation needed]. In the UK and U.S. they are most commonly known as flip-flops"
