Headlines & ads from March 8, 1970
There was a total eclipse the day before I was born in Virginia. In Utah, it was 40% totality. I was born in Kentucky, and I assume there was a decent eclipse there - I asked my parents about it and neither one remembers. Perhaps it was cloudy there that day?
Advertising a ridiculously small 14.1 cubic foot fridge. I think our fridge today is about that size and why anyone in their right mind would advertise a fridge that small I have no idea. Still... it does make me think a bit about overconsumption and the "need" to have bigger and more stuff all the time.
The TV ad is hilarious... the Total Automatic Color part is my favorite!
