TURBO TANGO!

This, my friends, is the future.

Imagine your common spray deodorant, or hairspray, or squirty cream. Now, instead of the deodorant, hairspray or squirty cream, you have orange flavoured tango.  Turbo Tango is born.

Yes, it's a bizarre concept. I only came across it today when I was with a small group of friends, one of which decided to buy this drink.  After the usual mickey-taking and general joking around the product, myself and another friend decided we had to give it a try. £1.50 each later, we returned with our own Turbo Tangos.

It works using aerosol technology and the idea is that you squirt the drink into your mouth.  As expected with a group of teenage lads, this lead to an awful lot of innuendo which was helped an awful lot by the packaging around the bottle.  Such slogans such as "Squirt it into your gob (and nowhere else)" and "Warning! This could explode in your hand" cannot be taken lightly by teenage lads.

This really got me thinking about how everyone is trying something new, trying to break the mold and be different and unique. Imagine what the meeting must have been like when they were discussing this... quite barmy I would have thought.  And I wonder how long it'll take before other companies start using this idea, or coming up with other ideas.

The world's an amazing place, filled with amazing things and amazing people.  We all come up with ideas, some better than others.  If something as crazy as this can get on the shelves, then anything can. In my view, it's a bit of a gimmick designed for teenagers who can't be bothered to tilt their head as they drink but then again all inventions must have seemed gimmicky at the start.  Sliced bread was just cutting the slicing stage out for the consumer, the car just got you places without the need to walk, the calculator to work out equations faster. They all must have been considered gimmicks when they first were invented, and now look at them!!!

I guess I should rate this product out of 5... I give it 4/5.

Stay Strong

P.S. If anyone from tango have read this, yes I will accept a crate full of turbo tango as payment for this advertising.
