Does this video explain everything we know about the last generation of Peace Corps volunteers?

The trippy 1970-71 commercial. You will have to fast forward to 7m52s.

Poetic that it is delivered between ads for arthritis cream and Mercedes Benz.

  1. As a RPCV from Honduras 2008-2010, I adore this ad, mainly because it has nothing to do with Peace Corps, yet still grabs my attention. This, for sure, is a gem.

  2. Thanks for the blast from the past. I found the Western Auto ad the most interesting. Specifically at the end when the narrator says “And just say ‘charge it.’ Great way to buy tires.”
