[@matthewnicholas6365]

The idea of the orange tango man was to represent how the taste of orange flavour tango was as intense as a slap in the face. Same as having "oranges" yelled in your ear. And the voice overs, for our American friends, is a play on English football commentary during the 90s

[@djrizla420]

I remember being at school, creeping up behind one of your mates on the playground, tapping them on the shoulder, and when they turned around, you give them a huge two handed slap and say “you know, when you’ve been Tango’d”. It became so popular, there were times you’d recognise when someone was about to get Tango’d, as you’d see a friend casually creep up behind someone with a mischievous look. We’d quietly say to one of our other friends, in our best Geordie accent, “Oooh, Tony! Would ya look at that” as we watched the hilarity unfold. 😂 Our generation were the reason that advert was taken off the air, and replaced with the one with the hand on the mouth and kiss.

I think this was the late 80s early 90s and like you know, everybody knew that the tango man was his orange ball man went round slapping your role doing whatever but yeah the tango were fun.

[@chrisball3778]

These ads seem really bizarre today, but the style was actually a good fit with some of the more surreal TV comedy that was popular in the UK at the time, stuff like Harry Enfield & Chums, Reeves & Mortimer and The Day Today. A lot of TV catchphrases went a kind of pre-internet version of viral, with people endlessly repeating them with their friends, and they were probably trying to copy that. It worked even better than they could have hoped. I was a 90's kid and can confirm that the craze of slapping eachother and saying 'You know when you've been Tango'd' went absolutely rampant in schools as soon as the ad came on air. The reason for the kissing advert was because there were so many complaints about the first version. It made them notorious and they got even more free advertising from the press coverage. The trouble was, the adverts became so popular that they had to keep on trying to think up new insane things to put in them and they became pretty hit and miss after a while.
