YOU KNOW WHEN YOU'VE BEEN TANGO'D

Advertisements for Tango feature various bizarre occurrences with the catchphrase "You know when you've been Tango'd" produced by the agency HHCL. These began in 1991 with an ad featuring a man being slapped around the face by an orange-clad person (Peter Geeves) immediately 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 injuries or even being deafened by being slapped on the ears. Whether or not these accounts were true, subsequent advertisements have used less dangerous practices. However, the first advert was named the 3rd best television commercial of all time in a 2000 poll conducted by The Sunday Times and Channel 4.
