Origin[]

Frankie Avalon was a small time child star who found his niche with the emergent "beach film" genre in the 1960s. Filled with beautiful days and the carefree parties, teens flocked to theaters to see the excitement of fellow youths on the screen. The genre had quickly petered out and lost interest by the 1970s, and Avalon returned to lesser recognized acting roles; he also used his film image to market his own line of healthcare products later in life.

Effects[]

Works a bit too well. Specifically designed to look and last like a natural tan, the formula permeates skin cells so as to allow the dihydroxyacetone to produce more melanoidins. Test subjects enjoyed a golden skin tone that progressively got darker and darker before sending their body into toxic shock.
