Was Tang developed specifically for NASA?






No. It was introduced by General Mills back in 1957, before the first humans visited space. The drink mix gained fame a few years later, when NASA selected it for use aboard manned space flights.
I seem to........ remember that "they" said it was made for astronauts. But don't "they" lie all the time? LOL. I can't recall seeing Tang for a long, long time. Why would anyone need it now, with concentrate orange juice, etc? ..............
My guess ----- I think so but I'm not sure --------
I...don't believe it was designed for NASA but the Astronauts certainly made it famous! !!
Something that is really good is to mix a tablespoon or so of Tang w/sour cream to top enchiladas! YUM!!
I'm saying no. I think it was on the market and NASA realized it's good use for space!
I think... Tang was already on the market before it became the drink of astronauts ...
Tang always reminded me of Pixie Stix. As a kid I liked to "eat" a teaspoonful of the dry mix rather than add water and drink it.
