Advantages: Tasty Disadvantages: Probably not as good as Fanta...
Kids today will probably think of Tango as a poor man's Fanta. I remember a time when it ruled supreme, with adverts of men in orange body suits going round slapping people. It was a wonderful time. But has the orange stuff stood the test of time? Can it compete with the Fanta market?
It sprung up controversy recently when it's advertising slogan was "Tango With Added Tango"...nothing untowards there, but as the slogan put the words on top of one another, if you put the first letters of each of the words together then you'll see the problem...see what I mean?!

A review on Citrus Tango.
Having recently tried the regular Orange Tango and found it ok, but in my opinion not as good as the Apple, I thought I would give the Citrus flavour a try. It is a fairly recent addition to the Tango range and this was going to be my first taste. I was curious to find out if it would be a refreshing drink to have in this hot weather. I know a lot of people prefer cola's, but it is worth trying the fruit soft drinks for a change.
A Few Facts
+ When Tango was launched by Corona in 1950 it was different from their other soft drinks because it contained real fruit.
