Tang (1960s)

Tang, the powdered orange-flavored drink, became a cultural icon in the 1960s, largely due to its association with NASA's space program. Marketed as a futuristic and convenient beverage, it captured the imagination of a generation fascinated by space exploration. Tang's popularity soared as it was perceived as the drink of astronauts, making it a must-have in households across America. Its distinct, slightly artificial orange taste and the promise of a space-age experience made it a memorable part of childhood for many.
