Tongues will no doubt be wagging at the new Tango Editions: Strawberry Smash drink.
Combining sweet strawberry with tropical pineapple, the drink can transport you to feel like you are on an exotic beach.
The drink is the latest in a long line up of Tango Editions, with previous flavours including Berry Peachy and Paradise Punch.
It also joins the range of traditional flavours alongside Tango Orange, Tango Apple Sugar Free, Tango Mango Sugar Free and Tango Cherry Sugar Free.
The exciting new drink has been available across UK supermarkets and stores since early February.
“Deliciously” sugar-free, Tango says the drink “does not compromise on taste”.
It is available in a range of sizes, including: 330ml cans, 500ml and two litre bottles, and even multi-packs of eight and 24 cans.
Tango said: “Set to tantalise tastebuds with an irresistible explosion of flavour, Tango Strawberry Smash combines sweet strawberry and tropical pineapple flavour for an instant, and outrageously bold hit of fruity tang.”
Victoria Burridge, Tango Brand Manager, Carlsberg Britvic added: “We know our Tango fans crave invigorating new flavours that stray away from the mundane, and Strawberry Smash does just that.
“Combining strawberry and pineapple flavour for a major hit of fruity tang, be prepared to experience outrageously bold flavour when drinking.”
The drink has rolled out to major supermarkets across the UK, including Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, and many convenience stores.
Tango has said the drink will only be available for 12 months and has also listed its suggested retailing price.
You can expect the 330ml single cans of the exotic drink to sell for around 85p, while the 500ml bottles will set you back around £2.15.
For the larger two litre bottles, you can expect to pay £3.35, while for the eight and 24-can multi packs, you should expect to pay £5.29 and £13.19 respectively.
Succeeding Tango’s popular Paradise Punch flavour, this latest rotation is set to meet the demand for Mango flavoured drinks, giving shoppers more sugar-free options without compromising on taste.
Available from 1 February for 12 months, the fruit-flavoured fizzy drink is available to enjoy in formats to be consumed at home or on the go.
The flavour will be available in a variety of formats – 330ml cans, 500ml bottles, 2-litre bottles, 8-can multi packs and 24-can multi-packs.
Shoppers have already taken to Facebook after spotting the 2-litre bottles in Asda this weekend.
One Tango fan said: “Mango Tango? Love the rhyme!”
Originally the Quality Street refill packs were selling for £8 but a few weeks after Christmas supermarkets have slashed prices in hopes of getting rid of their extra stock.

4 weeks agoNew York StateComments Off on Shirley Ballas, Victoria Derbyshire & Julia Bradbury urge thousands to get life-saving breast cancer checks in NHS drive
A MAJOR breast cancer screening drive will see celebs writing “personal” letters to women, urging them to attend life-saving screenings.
It’s hoped that the campaign – backed by Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas and presenters Victoria Derbyshire and Julia Bradbury – will help spot thousands more breast cancer cases earlier.

PA:Press AssociationWomen get their first breast screening invite between the ages of 50 and 53[/caption]
In 2023 there were 18,942 tumours detected out of 1.93million women screened for breast cancer, but a further 1.05m women who were invited did not attend.
The one per cent detection rate means there were potentially 10,000 missed cases.
Women registered with a GP are automatically invited for NHS breast screening between the ages of 50 and 53, then every three years until the age of 71.
The campaign – supported by Breast Cancer UK and Cancer Research UK – encourages women to make the most of regular mammograms and shows that screenings can detect cancers as early as possible.
If 80 per cent of those eligible for a breast check had one in the next year, nearly a million more women could be screened compared to 2022/23, NHSE estimated.
Meanwhile, over 7,500 breast cancers could be detected at an earlier stage, when they are more treatable.
Adverts will be splashed across TV, radio and online, but celebs will also add a “personal” touch to the drive.
Strictly judge Shirley Ballas, Newsnight anchor Victoria Derbyshire and presenter Julia Bradbury will all write “unofficial” invitation letters to women, sharing their own personal screening experiences to reassure them and encourage them to attend.
Victoria penned an open letter to women invited for breast checks, saying: “I’ve had breast screening multiple times. For me it was painless and I was happy to be screened; my motivation was to make sure any irregularities were picked up – because the earlier breast cancer is detected, the greater the chance of survival.”
The anchor was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015.
She said: “When I was diagnosed, I thought I wouldn’t get to see my two little boys grow up (then aged 8 and 11).
“I thought I wouldn’t get to grow old with my partner Mark. I’m still here thanks to the skill of the NHS – 2025 will be 10 years since I was diagnosed.
“Breast screening might just help save your life. Please go.”

RankinJulia made an intimate documentary about her own battled with the disease[/caption]
Cancer survivors, NHS staff and TV doctors will also join the celebrities in sharing letters.
Around 56,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer every year.
The disease can also affect men, with 400 cases spotted each year.
NHS national cancer director, Dame Cally Palmer, said: “Breast screening detects breast cancers earlier and saves lives – but we know for many women there can be lots of reasons why they might be reluctant to come forward, or why it’s not top of the priority list in their very busy lives.
What happens at a breast cancer screening?
Breast screening is usually done by one or two female mammographers. You can ask them about any questions or concerns you have.
During your appointment, you’ll have two breast x-rays, also known as mammograms, on each breast.
Each will only take a few minutes.
Here’s what to expect:
You’ll need to undress, in a private changing area, so you are naked from the waist up. You may be given a hospital gown to put on.
You’ll be called into the X-ray room and the mammographer will explain what will happen.
The mammographer will place your breast onto the X-ray machine. It will be squeezed between two pieces of plastic to keep it still while the X-rays are taken. This takes a few seconds and you need to stay still. Your breast will be taken off the machine afterwards.
The X-ray machine will then be tilted to one side and the process will be repeated on the side of your breast.
Your other breast will be X-rayed in the same way.
You will then return to the changing area to get dressed.
You should get your results within two weeks after your appointment, via letter. Your GP surgery will also be sent a copy.
If there’s no signs of breast cancer, that’s it until you’re next invited for a check-up.
If something is spotted in the mammograms, you might need to have a few more tests done, such as a breast examination, ultrasound scans and biopsy.
Most people who need further tests won’t end up diagnosed with breast cancer.
But if there are signs of breast cancer, finding it early means treatment is more likely to be successful.
When will I get my invitation?
You’ll automatically get your first invite for up to three years after you hit 50, as long as you’re registered to a GP surgery.
After that, you’ll be invited every three years until you turn 71.
If you’re a trans man, trans woman or are non-binary, you may be invited automatically, or you may need to talk to your GP surgery or call the local breast screening service to ask for an appointment.
If you have not been invited for breast screening by the time you are 53 and think you should have been, contact your local breast screening service.
But if you’re experiencing symptoms of breast cancer before you reach screening age, don’t wait to be invited – see a GP.
“We hope that by hearing other women’s stories, it will reassure them and remind them why screening is so important.
“Cancer survival is at an all-time high in England thanks to a real focus on early detection – and we want hundreds of thousands more women to access screening so that any breast cancers can be spotted as early as possible to help save more lives.”
Claire Rowney, chief executive at Breast Cancer Now, said the charity was thrilled about NHSE’s new campaign, adding: “For too long thousands of women have missed out on the vital screening that saves lives from breast cancer.”
She noted that breast cancer screening uptake tends to be lower in people ling “in more deprived areas and from certain minority ethnic communities”.
“As such, NHS England’s plans to focus especially on reaching women who are less likely to get screened and often face additional barriers to attending, is so crucial to the success of this campaign,” she stressed.
The campaign comes as a new NHS survey of 2,000 women showed that almost 40 per cent rarely or never talk about breast screening with their female friends and families, and almost a quarter of women said they wouldn’t attend if they didn’t already have symptoms like a lump.
More than a fifth also said that embarrassment at being topless in front of someone would prevent them from attending, and 18.5 per cent were concerned the screening might be painful.
'The mammogram is knowledge'
When Liz Jadav from Kennington in London turned 50, she received an appointment letter for her first breast screening.
After her appointment, she was asked to return for more tests. Although Liz had no symptoms and was otherwise fit and healthy, the results confirmed that she had breast cancer.
She was thankful that the cancer had been caught at an early stage, and to be able to start discussing treatment straight away.
Liz had been about to start a job with the Royal Shakespeare Company, so her first question after diagnosis was, “How is this going to affect my work?”
Her employer was very supportive. Liz attended the first day of rehearsals, underwent surgery to remove the cancer on the second day, and was back with the company by the end of the week.
Following the success of the surgery, Liz received radiotherapy; she will continue taking a daily pill for a few more years to reduce the risk of cancer returning, and attends yearly mammograms.
Liz said: “I think lots of women are worried about a cancer diagnosis and this puts them off from going to their screening appointment.
“But the mammogram isn’t cancer. The mammogram is knowledge.
“Without my mammogram I wouldn’t have known that I had breast cancer. I wouldn’t have been offered treatment.”
“I’d say, when you’re invited for breast screening, make the time to go to your appointment. You’ll be glad you did.”
Its analysis of more than 2,000 firms found a “sharp increase in redundancy intentions” since her October Budget.
Chief executive Peter Cheese warned: “These are the most significant downward changes in employer sentiment we’ve seen in the last ten years, outside of the pandemic.
“Employer confidence has been impacted by planned changes to employment costs, and employment indicators are heading in the wrong direction.
“Businesses have had time to digest these impending changes, with many now planning to reduce headcount, raise prices and cut investment in workforce training.”
Labour’s growth mission is also at risk, with a quarter of firms warning they will scrap plans to expand.

It is hoped the personal touch will get more women patients to take up their first mammogram.
It came as figures showed more than four in ten turned down their first invitation, making it harder to spot cancers early on.
Some 7,500 additional breast cancers could be detected at an earlier stage, when they are more treatable.
BBC Newsnight anchor, Victoria Derbyshire, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, writes in her letter: “I’ve had breast screening multiple times.
“When I was diagnosed, I thought I wouldn’t get to see my two little boys grow up (then aged 8 and 11).
“I thought I wouldn’t get to grow old with my partner Mark.
