I did when I was a kid. Is there anything special about Tang?

Isn't tang what astronauts drink in space? Or is that just a myth?

According to Wikipedia:

Tang was used by the NASA Gemini space program. A NASA engineer working with the Gemini Space Program on a life-support module explains the story of how and why it was used.

Paraphrased:

"... There was a particular component of the Gemini life support-system module which produced H2O (water) among other things. This was a byproduct of a recurring chemical reaction of one of the mechanical devices on the life-support module. The astronauts would use this water to drink during their space flight. The problem was, the astronauts did not like the taste of the water because of some of the byproducts produced, which were not harmful of course. So, they added Tang to make the water taste better ..."

However, Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin has stated that Tang was not consumed on his moon mission: "We... instead chose a grapefruit-orange mixture as our citrus drink. If Tang was on our flight, I was unaware of it."

Tang.


I didn't know people drank that.



It tastes different than old tang.

We found a glass tang pitcher at my grandma's house, and I said "MOM BUY TANG"

I only buy it for camping trips.  It's not officially a camping trip until I've gotten plastered on Vodka & Tang.

It's not a crook, either.

It's funny because it's called Watergate Cake.

I'm not sure if it's "Japansese". It's just ice with syrup on it. Can be made in any country.  :D
But it's very good in hot countries. When it's 35 degrees (not Fahrenheit...) outside there's nothing like a good kakigoori. ;D
