Season 5 Episode 6: Tan N' Wash Airdate: November 6, 1986

Cliff comes back from the Tan N' Wash, where the Cheer's gang invested their money, with an impressive tan. Cliff manages to combine his useless trivia with a pitch for the Tan N' Wash.

The truth:

The Bronze Age, which lasted from 3500 B.C. to 1200 B.C., had nothing to do with tanning. It was the period in Man's history when significant advancement were made  in metalworking.

Tanning gained popularity in 1923 when French designer, Coco Chanel returned from a cruise with an impressive looking tan. She claimed to have stayed out in the sun too long, but her tan caught on and the fad of tanning was born. About the same time looser and skimpier clothing was catching on, exposing more skin and a nice sun tan fit right in.
