I thought this was a wind-up when I first saw the news report, however much to my delight I have seen it on sale and have even sampled a can or two.
To celebrate the success of their "Re-Birth", Tango (of Orangeade fame) released a larger can (440ml instead of the usual 330ml in the UK) of their most popular product. The design of the can, however, meant that the name of the product - "Tango With Added Tango" - rather blatantly spelt out the unfortunate aforementioned acronym.
What is not clear is whether or not the drinks maker - Britvic - intended this. They have stated that is it a coincidence, but at the same time they have been guilty of highly mischievous advertising in the past (one particular television advert, involving a giant Orange who went around smacking people directly on the ear - had to be banned after copycat incidents ended up with all manner of ear injuries).
Unfortunately the only article I can find relating to the story is from the dear old UK "Sun" newspaper - find it at - despite the occasional doubtful nature of their stories however, the product is genuine.
First timer, first post, first thread, please be gentle!

Outlet stores are scams
Stores definitely jack prices up and then mark them down to normal price and call it a sale. One of my old high school buddies with whom I've kept up is married to a guy who sold furniture for 15 years. He hated it and he hated sales, because the day before he'd have to go through and mark all the furniture way up and then slap a "sale" price on the jacked up price.
If you don't want to get ripped off, the only way I know is to keep a price notebook and take notes on what things cost over a period of time from several places: after a while you'll notice what the usual regular price averages for something and can tell if something is a good deal or not. A good way to get genuine prices on something is to go into a quality store with good upscale products: not a discount store but one with good service, and see what the regular price on merchandise is, over time. Also you can check out what good merchandise ought to look like. Then when you run across something somewhere else, you really will have at least a baseline to compare the price and quality.
eta~I have a couple stores I especially like and they get merchandise I like in, and I haunt it until it gets marked down. I saw how much it actually started out costing and I know what the discount I am getting, actually is. If that is I'm lucky enough that it isn't gone first. Sometimes I luck out though. :-)
