Funny, but not very authentic, as one of the missionaries is (gasp!) African-American. :)

The commercial is for Spanish-Speaking Americans. It even uses $$ for the price of the goodies.
Safe bet it was filmed in either the US or Mexico. And either way...in the Americas :)

Oh no!!! The alt-right was right after all! They're taking over!

Seriously, although the ad shows dollar signs, the voice-over is talking pesos and one of the prices is $449, which seems excessive in USD.

The "dollar sign" (i.e. '$') was originally used for pesos. America adopted it for the USD later.

The blond missionary says, "Hola, would you like to hear the word of ghawd?" And the homeowner says, "Of course! Come in..."

The two elders look happily at each other and then the Unimarc store people jump into the frame, yelling about how every accomplishment needs to be celebrated with a 'barbacue-lite'. And then the announcer says that 'barbecue-lites' are great but they sure make you thirsty, so how about buying this beer, at xx unit price or yy for the case, Chilean pesos! Or how about Coca Cola, at zz price, Chilean pesos.

It's a market chain in Chile https://www.facebook.com/unimarc/

Haha! We have a niece currently serving a mission in Chile. I wonder if she would be this happy to be invited to a BBQ like this? Doubt it though...she's very super TBM :(
