One is a much loved favourite refreshing sparkling soft drink. The other, a controversial high voltage restraint device. Now, the same people who came up with the catchphrase “you’ve been Tangoed” are putting Tizer in the public eye by linking the two in a series of eye-catching TV “advertizements.”
“It’s a combination of reality cop show, public service message and commercial”, explained advertising guru Martin Smythe. “ In these days of unrest, it’s important our advertising messages are both youth-oriented and socially responsible.”
Taser trained officers will wear specially branded hi visibility orange vests. They will be shadowed by film crews, and shown using the device in real-life situations. We’ll hear them shout the official warning: Stop! Or I will use the Taser, sponsored by Tizer! Then we hear the trademark crack of the device, and see the alleged offender fall to the ground, writhing in potentially fatal agony. Then a close up of the police officer sampling the refreshing drink at the scene, and the slogan: “Tizer sponsors Taser. It’s a shock to the system!” Police forces who sign up to the scheme will receive an undisclosed sum and unlimited supplies of both products.
