Tang was conceived as a breakfast drink by William A. Mitchell.
It may only look like an artificial sweetener, but Tang contains a number of nutrients including vitamins A, B2, B6 and E. This flavored and vitamin-rich powder was originally invented and manufactured for NASA astronauts to drink in space, gaining notoriety when used by astronaut John Glenn on the 1962 Mercury mission. Orange Tang instant drink mix requires about two minutes to create, and provides a refreshing beverage or mixed alcoholic drink. Add this to my Recipe Box.
