@catsalad

oh, it has flavor. whether you *like* that flavor is highly debatable. :)

@catsalad I cannot answer this. Not because I have not had Tang, but because I have.

@tankgrrl "Describe the taste of Tang."

🐱 Tastes like.. uh Tang

@catsalad @tankgrrl So you left it multiple choice subconsciously?

I made use of that AND, as it was the only other correct answer.

@catsalad @tankgrrl

Orange juice with incurable depression.

@catsalad @tankgrrl From my NASA-obsessed schooldays, it was a blissfully acidified tangerine, most probably spiked with rocket fuel πŸš€
@catsalad @tankgrrl
Just like orange Metamucil but slightly less thick and gritty.
@catsalad one cannot flavour that which is already maximally flavoured.
@catsalad I... I am not sure I understand this poll

Do you mean is Tang something you can add flavour to? 
@catsalad
"How's the Tang?"
Yes.
"No. I mean, what's it like?"
Indeed.
"....what does it taste like?"
Yup.
"Ugh.....what flavor is it?"
Yeah.
@jadedtwin @catsalad
OK, now I'm curious what this "tang" thing is...

@petherfile @catsalad it sure exists lol

(If you’re actually unsure: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tang_(drink_mix) )

Tang (drink mix) - Wikipedia

@jadedtwin @petherfile

It was promoted as an "instant breakfast" drink rather than a soft drink mix, because it was fortified with vitamins C and A.

@jadedtwin @catsalad
The answer seems to be a powder that is mostly sugar that I can't get for a reasonable price in Australia. (Can get a box mail order for like $67)

@catsalad

Oh lord, you're gonna make me order a big can of it

@catsalad
Did you know Tang was developed as part of the space program? That's why astronauts can get all the Tang they want.

@catsalad

I haven't had Tang in a not long enough time, but I had a colonoscopy last year. The *preparation* "flavour" strongly reminded me of Tang. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

@catsalad Hides the vodka.

@catsalad

Someone else with the mystical knowledge.

@catsalad Tang is one of those things I've loved because of how artificial it tastes...
@catsalad you spelled drank wrong
@catsalad If it's good enough for astronauts, and I want to be an astronaut, how could I *not* drink itβ€½ HUH? ASTRONAUTS, Cat.
@catsalad
vodka is a flavor, right?

Another member of the magical Tang gang!

@catsalad Back in the late 70's my SIL and I used to put together a blend of instant tea, tang and sugar, that was supposed to be a cheaper alternative to Constant Comment. Some days I wonder how much sugar we ingested during that brief (but very sweet) period of time.

@catsalad

That still exists? 😯

@catsalad

I learned in college that Tang makes one amazing vodka mixer. I'd make a 50:50 water:vodka mixture with about 1.5 to 2x the recommended Tang powder and have an easy to drink fast acting powerful drink. I preferred quart Gatorade bottles for the stealth factor and appropriate serving size.

@catsalad I’ve just been informed there was in fact a Tang Dynasty
@catsalad Tang tastes like it's orange Pixie Stix, the tasty, tangy, tooth decay in a tube!
