And Now A Word From Our Sponsor #18
And now here's a word from the fine folks at It's Tanfastic!:
"Greetings, all you pasty chalk sticks! I'm Tawny Chestnut, owner of the It's Tanfastic! chain of tanning salons. If you want a tan really fast, and you don't care what it's doing to your insides, then come on down and hop in one of our state-of-the-art microwave tanning beds. We tan you so deep even your soul turns a darker shade.
"Ignore all the warnings by the FDA, the AMA, and your own common sense and get the tan you've always wanted.
"Remember, It's Tanfastic!"

I remember getting tanned in the Costas. It costa plenty in those days, flight, suntan oil and lotion for those red backs. The only thing that was cheap, was the wine, but the hangovers made sure you paid a heavy price. Does Tanfastic offer free booze too? Nice one, Christopher :-)

Thanks, Neville. They probably do offer booze. If the tanning bed doesn't cook your liver the liquor will!

Thanks so much, Drew. I used to come up with fake products and businesses in my head all the time, so this series finally gives me a way to dump all that junk out of my skull!

I was just listening to an old radio aircheck on YouTube from 1959 and they advertised a new suntan lotion called, you guessed it, Tanfastic. And I thought I was so clever for coming up with that. How dare someone coin that term 60 years before I did!

I remember Tanfastic, it was over here too! It resulted in a very patchy, very poor relation to a suntan. I used it and ended up looking a complete prat! ☹️

It pisses me off when I come up with something original and then find out it isn't original at all!

Sorry Christopher. It’s the way of the world. Nothing new under the sun they say. I personally invented Wrigleys Orbit gum, Kellogg’s Krave cereal and a forerunner to KitKat Bites (I called it Kit Kat Kubes... but I realised it acronysed to KKK - not so good!). These were imaginary products I invented for marketing projects for my students (with different brand names). Maybe there were student industrial spies in my classes... but I doubt it!
