This is one in a new series of online videos with “old wives” debunking the seven myths of diesel. In this installment, the myth that a diesel has to be loud is proven to be unfounded as the VW Diesel Passat is so quiet that one of the “golden girls” insists that the engine must be off–when it’s actually on.

Developed as part of the Ad Councilโs partnership with the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) and created pro bono by agency StrawberryFrog, this public service campaign underscores the vital role young people can play in reversing opioid overdoses by carrying naloxone (often branded as Narcan or ReVive).
Directed by Haya Waseem via production company Object & Animal, this โItโs Gotta Be Youโ PSA shows how a girl answers the call to help save another young person.
Raising awareness of opioid overdose reversal medications like naloxone is a critical way to empower young adults to save lives, as the presence of fentanyl in illicit drugs and in counterfeit pills continues to put countless lives at risk nationwide. Naloxone is available without a prescription in all 50 states and territories and can reverse an opioid overdose.
