Tango Man returns to UK streets with sorbet replacing fizzy drink face slaps and kisses

The Tango Man, a controversial 1992 advertising character known for slapping unsuspecting consumers, has returned to UK streets after three decades. This time, instead of face slaps, he distributes sorbets and engages in playful interactions, promoting Creams Cafe's new Tango dessert line. The original ad, which featured the iconic 'you know when you've been Tango'd' catchphrase, sparked controversy due to its aggressive nature but eventually became a cultural icon. The new Tango Sorbet, priced at £2.95 per scoop, aims to replicate the fizzy sensation of the original Tango drink with a citrusy flavor and popping candy elements. The return of the Tango Man coincides with the launch of Creams Cafe's limited-edition Tango range in 95 locations across the UK.
