Oh aye – Scottish Health did a parody of some to try and get folk to eat fruit – I nearly totalled my car driving through Callendar when I saw a piece of fruit on a billboard with the caption “You know when you’ve been mangoed”…
This is just rochambeau without the balls.
Yeah – there was one for ‘Tango – Still’ asking you to report shopkeepers that sold the stuff via an 0800 number as it was knock off. I called it for the hell of it and heard “You’ve Been Tangoed” at the other end. You were then asked to leave your name and address, and they sent you vouchers for free juice.
Voiced by the father of hiphop himself, Gil Scott Heron.
I remember all the happy slapping videos which were basically let’s just assault a random person in public.
Complete scumbags I’d happily face all of them in a boxing ring where they couldn’t just knock out people from behind and laugh about it.
I can imagine most Brits 30+ will remember them.
I remember the adverts.
I also remember my primary school having such a massive problem with kids Tango-ing each other in the playground afterwards, they had to threaten expulsion for anyone caught doing it.
Precious times.
Tango eventually pulled it when they were contacted by an emergency room surgeon who, when he asked the patient what had happened, was told “I’ve been Tangoed”.
I was in the first year of secondary school when the head slapping advert came out. Shit was brutal.
Yup, remember them well. Also remember that they were banned because of the sheer number of kids’ perforated eardrums that resulted.
Was just another tool in the bully’s locker at my school. Imagine something like that coming out now absolutely no chance
Also all the hippies in a cult chanting Go-Tan…. you rang a number for about a fiver and they sent you a weird orange doll.
I got slapped. Thankfully they didn’t perforate my eardrums
Semi related, but also the bigger tango cans just called “tango with added tango” leaving a lovely can of TWAT in your hand.
Getting ‘ORANGES’ yelled in your ear was also not pleasant

To be fair to Tango, you slapped both sides of the face/head at the same time:

But this slapping thing is fucking mad.
And it’s a *sport*?

The [‘You know when you’ve had sprouts’](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MQDm-pDZTU) was the best one.
