They also had a promo where you could get fuzzy tiger tails to attach to the flap covering your gas cap making it look like there was a tiger in your tank. Lots of teens drove muscle cars with these tiger tails trailing out.

They also gave away Tiger sponges. When my sister and I cleaned out my parents house, we found 2 of them. We laughed so hard and couldn't believe that my parents had kept them!!

A running joke at the time was:
Q: What’s better than having a tiger in your tank?
A: A female lion on your back seat.

Gary, I remember ESSO...I was very young when they switched names...
Player Say what!?
Gary, I'm sure you meant "they're". Just because You don't remember it doesn't make it incorrect. I remember it very well.
