Orang-O-Tang: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 05:14, 14 January 2011

A discarded Orang-O-Tang can from a vending machine in GTA IV.

Orang-O-Tang is a fictional soft drink featured in Grand Theft Auto IV.

In a similar vein to Munky Juice in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, the drink is named with a primate-related pun, this time referencing both the orangutan's name and the term "tang", which refers to something of a sour, acidic or citrus taste. The name is also a reference to two real-life orange-flavored beverages: the American-made Tang and the English-made Tango, the former being a powdered drink mix and the latter being an actual soft drink.

The drink is most prominently featured as the can of soda which the player obtains from a vending machine; instead of a can of Sprunk or eCola as their respectable vending machines would imply, the player retrieves a can of Orang-O-Tang and drinks from it, before discarding the empty can onto the ground.
