They are trying to repeal Women's right to vote so we need to bring this back. It will be easier to stop them from taking our vote than it will be to get the vote back. #GenXAds #WomensSuffrage

I always thought it was weird that they rendered Chubby Checker as a white man in this commercial. I caught that even as a kid and thought it was odd.

Chubby Checker might have been light but he was still darker than The Beatles and The Monkees lol #GenXAds

School House Rock taught me everything; history, how government worked, parts of speech, about the constitution. It's how I remembered the difference between a verb and an adverb, how a bill becomes law lol #GenXAds

Most of the best cartoons came on ABC so we got a lot of memorable ads from that network, like Quickfast. It's breakfast but fast lol

GenX grew up with commercials like this in between the toy ads of cartoon shows. It was a series called The Most Important Person #GenXAds

This ad was sponsored by The Office of Child Development, The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare
