Tango reveals ANOTHER new ‘limited edition’ flavour days after ice blast favourites appear on shelves

The brand has launched a fresh “bold” flavour that it says will “tantalise tastebuds”.

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.

Tango has brought out a multitude of flavours this month, including a new mango flavoured drink.

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!”

Another said: “This is a bit of me.”

“It’s gorgeous,” said a third shopper.

This also comes as Tango announced it was releasing bottled versions of its popular Raspberry Blast and Cherry Blast slushies.

Fans of the new flavours were ecstatic and wanted to try the new drinks.

Sainsbury’s is selling the all-new Hot Cross Bun flavoured Custard Cream biscuits for just 65p.

Bargain hunters and snack-time lovers flooded the comment section after news of the arrival was shared on social media.

The Australian treat, Tim Tam, has come out with a new extra chocolatey flavour.

Fans have obsessed over the choc, which launched in the UK last year.

Now, UK shoppers can get their hands on the latest edition, which has an extra layer of smooth milk chocolate added.

Talyah Falabella, Tim Tam’s International Marketing Manager, said: “For over 60 years, Tim Tam has been Australia’s favourite chocolaty biscuit.

“We’re excited to bring another irresistible addition to the UK, offering the ultimate indulgence for chocolate lovers.”

Chocolate lovers rejoiced when the biscuits became available in the UK for the first time last year.

And were available at Waitrose and Ocado, before then being stocked at Tesco.

It comes as iant bags of Quality Street chocolates are scanning for just £2.50 at Sainsbury’s tills.

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.

Businesses planning ‘most brutal round of job cuts in a decade’ after Labour’s tax rises

BUSINESSES are planning the most brutal round of job cuts in a decade to offset Labour’s tax rises, a survey reveals.

A third of employers are preparing to slash staff through redundancies or reduced hiring, while two in five say they will raise prices.

The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development said Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ £25billion hike to employers’ National Insurance from April is tanking confidence.

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.

But Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds told Times Radio: “Stick with us, this is the right platform for the UK.”

A Federation of Small Businesses survey found firms’ confidence hit its lowest recorded point outside the pandemic in last year’s fourth quarter.

Shirley Ballas joins fellow stars in backing new NHS breast cancer screening initiative and urges people to get checked

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.

“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.”

Women are entitled to their first screening between the ages 50 and 53, then every three years afterwards until the age of 71.

In all, 56,000 breast cancer diagnoses are given every year.
