Arbco is an oil company with a flair for ssslick marketing. The latest gimmick from the snake-oil salesmen: the surprisingly catchy jingle "Put a Snake in Your Tank". What it doesn't want you to know is that it's a front company for the ruthless terrorist organization, Cobra.

Notes

[edit]
  • Arbco was a front company of Cobra's seen in the Marvel G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero comic.
  • The Arbco logo is based on that of the real-life [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Amoco|{{#if:||Amoco}}]] oil company.
  • In a similar fashion, their jingle riffs the "put a tiger in your tank" slogan used by [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Exxon|{{#if:||Exxon}}]].
