Tango is a fizzy soft drink drunk primarily in the United Kingdom. It was launched by the Beecham Group in 1958 and was bought by Britvic in 1986.
It comes in various flavors, including the original orange, apple, lemon, cherry and blackcurrant.
Advertisements for Tango feature various bizarre occurrences with the catchphrase "You know when you've been Tango'd". These began in the early 1990s with an ad featuring a man being slapped around the ears by an orange-clad person after drinking Tango. It received widespread condemnation after a craze for "Tangoing" people swept the nation's playgrounds, and there were reports of children receiving serious injury or even being deafened. Whether or not these accounts were true, subsequent advertisements have used less dangerous practices.
Other slogans used include "You need it because you're weak" and "Feed the Tango Inside".
