Tango - Orange man Reviews

OK If you remember these adverts, you will understand what I am talking about, however, if you didn't catch any of them, you will think I am rather Puddled, and you may well be right! Orange Tango, is a very tangy very fizzy canned drink, and was rather popular, and still is. The advertising campaign for this drink was a little on the ...  Read the complete review

--Introduction-- As many of you should know, Tango is a very popular brand of carbonated drinks. They produce a number flavours including: the original orange and apple flavours as well as new flavours fruit fling, tropical and cherry. All of the flavours also come in the diet variety, for those who think that diet fizzy ...  Read the complete review

So back in 1991 Tango thought the best way to advertise their drink was to get a man painted orange to slap another man around the face, after he had drank Tango. Enter the now commonplace catchphrase: "You know when you've been Tangoed." After much outrage due to the violence (kiddies on playgrounds were now trying to be this odd orange ...  Read the complete review

Talk Tango and you get 5 minutes of free phone calls for your mobile! How brilliant! Tango is a very fizzy, prehaps over the top Carbonated drink. It comes in bottles and 4 different flavours. Orange, Apple, Cherry , Lemon. The taste is very strong and prehaps to much to cope with, but its still a fizzy drink that re-fuels you well when you need ...  Read the complete review

I'm sorry but I just hate these adverts. I have seen a few over the years and I am of the opinion that they are getting worse. I thought ads were supposed to get you to buy a product, not go in the opposite direction. I think the worse one, for me, is that terrible cringing one (to promote the Tango megaphone) where a couple ...  Read the complete review

...but the advertisement was a great success!! Personally, I could not stand these adverts. The annoying "ooh nooo Tony" voiceover and the fatso orange man who "hilariously" slapped innocent victims purporting to be the "smack" of the taste of the product is quite frankly childish! But, hey , ...  Read the complete review

I remember when this advert first came out - I was still in school. It got banned quickly enough though, and for a good reason. The way the advert went was to have a big fat orange man running up behind people and slapping their ears. The problem with this advert was that school kids took great pleasure in copying it, but didn`t give ...  Read the complete review

I wondered why I had not seen this advert on TV for a while. I presumed they had moved on. So they banned it from our screens because of schoolboy pranks. The novelty would soon have worn off and they would soon have been up to other mischiefous things!! The ad was a good idea. It was showing that their product had the ...  Read the complete review

Aww God! I didn't know that this advert was banned!? Well, I guess if many people were getting the slap, it was enevitable that it'd happen, particularly in the UK. I don't think people who saw it tried to emulate the action in a malicious way, just in a jokey way, though I'm sure some people did the other. I'm not entirely ...  Read the complete review

Tango adverts have always been creative and a little bit different and have always seem to cause public unrest, but I believe that is the idea as they will get a load of publicty from it, and once they are banned they will get cult status, and the product they are selling like that microphone will sell more. The idea of the orange man ...  Read the complete review

Oh yes I remember this advert, The fat orange guy giving a lad a double slap on the cheeks to symbolize the taste of 'real' oranges in a can of Tango (or something). The description says it was banned but I am sure it was just withdrawn after a lad got a perforated ear drum from someone giving a slap round the ears. I remember ...  Read the complete review

Where has the mad orange tango man gone, dressed like a sumo wrestler and built quite similar too. Seen charging around the highstreets shouting in peoples faces and slapping their cheeks the tango man was a great bit of advertising. Bring him back the tango man became a cult figure in the period he was on tv and who doesnt know of the ...  Read the complete review
