Talk:Tang (drink mix)

message: Is there any more info on why NASA used Tang, for how long, etc? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nick Precision (talk • contribs) 03:43, June 6, 2005
I added all the historical information I know about Tang.  Both the quote from the (an) engineer working for NASA and its relation to the GEMINI project.  The sources were cited from NASA's spin off website and the History channel. I also sent NASA an email asking about the historical accuracy, and they did not respond yet.  They probably think I am a space cadet!

message: Tang is extremely popular in Latin America, Southeast Asia and in other parts of the world. Tang, along with Boca, Oreo, Maxwell House, Milka, Toblerone, Nabisco, Oscar Mayer and Kraft, are being established by Kraft Foods as global brands, even though some of them are global brands alrealdy. Tang is building up in third world countries where juice powder is cheap and it is a major source of certain vitamins and minerals for folk in those countries. Even though Crystal Light leads in the U.S., Tang is number one in the world. - Obin 3391 14:58, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

message: What is the source of the information about Tang being the state drink of Hawaii? With a quick google search I only found Wikipedia mirrors and sites using Wikipedia as their source. No doubt state legislatures have declared many stranger things, but it seems curious to me that a specific brand name product would be made a state beverage unless it is the particular product of that state. -- Infrogmation 16:33, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems to have been added to the list of state drinks in this edit by an anon whose only other editing was blatant vandalism.  Unless some reliable confirmation can be found, I suggest this bit of "trivia" be removed. -- Infrogmation 16:41, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I am regular user of tang Mango flavored it was really very good dring as it was different to taste from any other mango drink.but recently introduced NEW TASTE mango flavore is really very bad so please do make note of this —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.150.202.68 (talk • contribs) 04:42, October 9, 2006
That is an opinion. Unless a reputable source -- like a major newspaper -- publishes some sort of fact-checked article about how 90% of Tang's customers say it is very bad, or something of that type, then it remains an opinion. Encyclopedias do not usually have opinions in them. Cheers. 90.178.52.11 (talk) 15:25, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  about new tang 

message: I changed the methadone and tang section to be about Philadelphia as I found some sources for that (I'm sure Canada and most big cities did the same, and I think still do). The sources were not easily accesisble (university library archives), so I transcribed them and put them on http://folk.ntnu.no/vidarhol/tang.txt if someone wants to write a bit more about it.

message: I came here after noticing that Tang now uses artificial sweeteners. The package is very deceptive since it does not state this anywhere except the ingredients section, which must be intentional. I am guessing a lot of people would not buy if they knew up front, and I wonder if many people even look at the ingredients list (all the way down a block of fine print) to see what has changed. 
The article mentions the new formula, but something needs to be said about the way it was changed. This is like the "New Coke" fiasco without the marketing promotion. An American icon has been changed and they did it on the sly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.125.146.118 (talk • contribs) 07:31, May 10, 2007
:What sort of changes did you have in mind?  Feel free to make them (or suggest them here), I'll watch and do any necessary editing after the fact.  I was more concerned when Tang disappeared from the shelves of my grocery store than the addition of artificial sweeteners.  Making mention of the first use (presumably?) of artificial sweeteners in non-sugar free tang makes sense, as long as it is phrased in a neutral point of view. --GargoyleMT 17:27, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

:I've removed the reference from the lead of the article; I'd suggest that it would be better in the History section, with a reference of some sort beyond the Amazon link - Amazon's not a great source. Tony Fox (arf!) 04:20, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Availability 

message: The 'overview' mentions some of the ingredients, but the list is mostly nutritional information. I came to the page hoping to find a description of what the powdery mixture actually contains (it is not sold in this country) maybe someone could add that? Also possibly a brief description of the manafacturing process?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.115.69.192 (talk) 23:55, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

message: The first sentence in the article seems unnecessary: "Tang is a fruit-flavored drink, and should not be confused with poon-tang." I'd simply change it, but changing things on Wikipedia seems to make you people angry every time. --2602:30A:2EA5:D9A0:21B:63FF:FE16:E923 (talk) 18:02, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
