Tang's Rich History

As one of the few beverages to ever travel to the moon, Tang has been around for more than 60-plus years. What began as an American instant breakfast beverage has evolved into a drink embraced all over the globe, from morning till night.

Tang's distant travels have brought about a variety of new flavours, new formulas and new packaging. But no matter where it journeys throughout the galaxy, Tang always stays true to its fun and flavourful roots.

Prices are reasonable when compared to other thirst quenchers on the market. They range from $30, for a 35g sachet to $251 for the 680g sachet.

Here are some of the delicious flavours that we tried. If you want an extra kick to your drink, use Tang along with your blended fruits such as bananas, mangoes, guavas and cherries, plus a bit of ginger and a dash of bitters and you will be amazed at the result.

Local distributors, Kraft Foods, invites readers to follow and participate in their current promotional campaign in which consumers can win lots of valuable prizes.
