Another trip down memory lane: Tang

[NYC Liberal]

[KitchenWitch]

1. My teeth hurt just thinking about it

Too many fillings...

[democracyindanger]

2. Astronauts drank it

I have nothing else to add.

[MuseRider]

3. Never liked the stuff myself.

We did use it once for Screwdrivers when we ran out of OJ. It is even nastier with Vodka.

4. Can you still buy it?

[politicat]

6. Yes. We've been buying it to send to the BILs in Iraq. It improves water.

Canteen water is just about the nastiest substance on earth that people are supposed to drink. ANYTHING makes it taste better, but it's hard to send liquid amendments, so we buy them a lot of Crystal Light, Tang, and gatorade powder.

Since I'm getting another set of boxes together, thanks for reminding me to get some of it before Wednesday.

5. It was nasty

Warm orange water! :puke:

But I drank it because of the smartest ad idea possible in the early 70's - "It's What The Astronauts Drink!" What 7 year old in the Apollo/Skylab era could resist that?

[Spider Jerusalem]

7. Ah, Tang...what the astronauts drink...

I don't think I've had that stuff in 20 years or more...

[AlCzervik]

8. yuck, to me Tang always tasted like salted watered down koolaid.

9. It's the best thing to drink to wash down Space Food Sticks...

...when sitting in your Apollo capsule underneath the kitchen table.

:)

12. word up!!

I was just going to post the same thing. Of course, my Apollo space capsule consisted of a blanket and broomstick!

[Seabiscuit]

10. Pez.

11. my little brother loved that stuff.

13. Did you ever eat it dry and straight

without adding water?

Just like a pixie stick. yum yum
