I wasn't born early enough to appreciate Tang for the simple fact that it's what the astronauts drank. I was a child of the 80s and while astronauts were no longer cool, Tang was still pretty darn delicious. It was like orange Kool-Aid, but better - or, at least that's what parents thought since Tang also had Vitamin C.Over two decades have passed since I tasted Tang for the first time. While it's not something I drink on a regular basis, it's a taste I fondly remember. A quick sip of Tang can take me back in time to when my biggest worry was whether or not school would be canceled because of the weather.
Many things have changed, including Tang. No longer is there just an orange flavor, but you can now find the drink mix in strawberry, pineapple, passion fruit, mango and several other flavors. You can even find a sugar-free version. That's not all though. You can even purchase pre-made Tang in little pouches. Personally, I'll stick with the original orange flavor in a mix.
I haven't had Tang in, yikes, in I don't know how long. Twenty-five years, maybe. I might just have to pick some up, for old time's sake.

I like the original orange Tang as a hot drink. Unfortunately, the formula changed a few years ago to include sucralose, so I stopped buying it.
