    I totally thought they stopped making that stuff in like the 70's, so when I heard someone talking about drinking Tang now, I thought they were pulling my leg.

    Oh yeah. Thanks for reminding me. Sam's Club is the best place to buy stuff in Bulk, Plan Parties, etc.

    The other places sell the most types, but Sam's has that stuff in Bulk.

    Tang is the flavor, but they have different brands.

    from what I remember, Tang tastes sort of like an Orange.

    Tang is the global leader in our powdered soft drink portfolio. By providing a nutritious, real fruit-flavored drink at an affordable price, Tang has gained great popularity in Latin America and emerging markets in Central and Eastern Europe and Asia, including People's Republic of China.

    Tang, popular in many parts of the world, this fresh fruit flavored drink is available in a wide array of convenient packaging.

    You must excuse my poor general knowledge, but I live in Europe and have no idea what Tang is (neither do the two mates who are lounging at my place right now). Is that the drink with the TV ad "You know when you've been Tang'oed?"

    No idea if that TV ad applies. Tang is this kind of gross orange drink originally developed supposedly to keep atronauts sipping something nutritious. It can ship powdered and just needs to be reconstituted with water. I thought they stopped selling it in the 70's, but apparently many people across the globe and on the Blue Blood boards enjoy the refreshing fruity taste of Tang.

    I just bought a plastic cannister of Tang about two weeks ago. I hadn't had it for probably 15 years since two weeks ago. I am happy to say it is still as tasty and refreshing as in my childhood. I like it way better than orange juice.

    I would just make up a little concentrated black tea and then mix the tang in. Of course, you would be able to tell, even with just a little bit. Of course I can taste the caffeine in Code Red, or isn't that the point.

    they still make tang... not two years ago i saw an ad on tv with an orangutange sipping strawberry tang... i just haven't had any in a while.
    my dad works for the space programme and he says that astronauts don't actually drink tang, that it was just a huge marketing campaign. oh well... he also says there is no tooth fairy either...cant believe a word he says...

    Speaking of those three letters and Tang. Didn't they do that in Jonestown (LSD and tang)? No, that was cyanide-laced Kool-Aid.

    Tang i s very common over here, in every store you can find it and the big cans only on super markets, besides that, there are alot of brand like tang, i personally prefer black tea, because sometimes tang it's too (is sweet the word??), plus you can mix nestea with vodka.

    Nestea with vodka? Yeah, that's a good idea. I wonder if it would be better to use the concentrate with it?

    I wonder if you could add all those things together, with a little banana, a little shot of whiskey for kick, a bit of apple pucker for zing and some carbonated soda? Of course, it would most likely be about a 40 ounce drink then, wouldn't it?
