I don't know which one so I can't place a specific date on it, but the commercials show that it's from 2010, possibly early in the year because some of the commercials show 2009 in the copyright text.

Vacation Break USA Promo Video (VHS tape, early 90s) Tristans Videotapes 2018-04-01 | I found this VHS tape at my local thrift store, its box was labeled with nothing but "NOW LET'S GO TO THE VIDEO TAPE", on top of a photo of a cruise ship with a crimson red filter. Here's a pic of it. https://i.imgur.com/iE42Ain.jpgOddly enough, I can't find any trace of this tape's existence anywhere.I did a little research on the company. Apparently it was bought out in 1997 after years of being attacked for scamming people out of money by selling vacation packages that were more expensive than buying each part of them individually.
