Tang powdered drink mix

Tang is a globally recognized fruit-flavored drink mix. It was originally formulated by General Foods Corporation food scientist William A. Mitchell in 1957. The brand gained international fame after being selected by NASA for the Gemini space program in the early 1960s, a legacy that forever linked the brand with space exploration.

Today, Tang is manufactured in various locations worldwide to serve different regional markets, with significant production facilities in Brazil, Mexico, and Thailand. Ownership of the brand transitioned through several corporate mergers, eventually moving from Kraft Foods to its successor, Mondelēz International. The brand remains a household staple in Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East, offering a wide variety of localized fruit flavors beyond the traditional orange.
