Australians are reminiscing on a ‘haunting’ TV commercial from the 2000s and 2010s that left them ‘scarred for life’.
Cancer Council launched its The Dark Side of Tanning campaign in the late noughties using the familiar slogan ‘There’s nothing healthy about a tan’ alongside ‘terrifying’ graphics showing how melanoma can spread around the body.
Dermal clinician Madeleine O’Brien, from Melbourne, shared the nostalgic commercial online triggering the memories of thousands.
