From Wikipedia
“Tang is a sweet and tangy, orange-flavored, non-carbonated soft drink from the United States. Named after the tangerine[citation needed], the original orange flavored Tang was formulated by William A. Mitchell for General Foods Corporation in 1957 and first marketed (in powdered form) in 1959.
It was initially intended as a breakfast drink, but sales were poor until NASA began using it on Gemini flights in 1965 (researched at Natick Soldier Systems Center), which was heavily advertised. Since that time, it has been associated with the U.S. manned spaceflight program, so much so that an urban legend emerged that Tang was invented for the space program.”

Nope, not Tang either.
