Tang

Tang is a fruit flavored drink that usually comes in orange. It was used for early NASA space flights. The reason that tang was used was because it 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. Tang is sold both in powdered and ready to drink form. Tang is a good source of many vitamins and gives you 100 percent of you daily vitamin C. There is also a sugar free version of tang made by Kraft. Tang commercials go back to the 70's. []
