Tang; ain't what she used to be

[Baal]

I am here to express my rage in the fact that I quite possibly have tasted what is the true taste of Tang for the last time today.

I'm currently sick with strep throat, and I don't know what it is about being sick, but I usually feel like changing my routine, especially when it comes to fluids. I polished off the one last packet of Tang in the house, and then got my dad to pick up more when he went out for groceries.

Low and behold he comes home with this new and "improved" single-serving Tang. I thought..."how different could it possibly be? Single-serving seems to be the way of the times, so I'm not overly surprised with this change"

All was fine until I tried this new Tang. It was bland, almost tasteless. It lost all of its "tangy" zing. It had lost the uniqueness that is Tang. I'll admit I've probably only had three packets of Tang in the past year or so, because not only was the original Tang unhealthy, it just wasn't an everyday drink to me. I would get sick of it quite quickly. I'm just frustrated because now it's gone, and I couldn't imagine drinking it under any capacity given its current form.

I'm probably the only person on this forum that drank Tang ever so I'm not expecting much sympathy

And now I will leave you with a video demonstrating how I am feeling, just a blue collar slob looking for some Tang:

Yep. My friend and I went to the store awhile ago just for Tang. It was gross.

 

[Lucid]

Wait, Tang actually had taste?

 

[Baal]

Considering it was loaded with sugar and other crap, you're damn right it did!

 

[VirusType2]

Maybe you were using extra powder when you mixed it yourselves, making it much sweeter than intended.

Or are you saying they changed their recipe?

and why is tang bad for you. It's like, the official NASA beverage.

 

[Lucid]

Always tasted like slightly flavored water to me, hated the stuff.

Kool-Aid > *

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Is that the orange juice powder with the monkey as the mascot?

 

[joule]

Tang.

IT'S A KICK IN A GLASS

Nope, they completely changed the recipe. I could add five times the recommended amount of powder, nothing is going to fix this.

I hadn't heard of Tang for years until I read this.

 

[VirusType2]

Just drink Budwieser. The breakfast of Champions.

 

[mastag]

lol, tang.

I was thinking this was a thread about pussy to be honest. Had forgotten about that drink stuff.

 

[Baal]

My thread title was actually a slight reference to the Simpsons as well. Only the hardcores will recognize it and remember what episode it is from.

Knowing that it's the Simpsons, chances are they did an homage of that quote from something else.

 

[highlander]

tang - vagina?

cuz if so, lol @ this thread.

 

[Azner]

Wait.
What is Tang besides a chinese surname that is.

 

[VirusType2]

Wu Tang bitches.

36 Chambers of death!



I thought this was about pussy also.

"Pussy Tang just doesn't taste like it did back in the day. It used to taste so sweet!"

 

[Wanted Bob]

Mmm, orange syrup...

I think I've tasted that before.












I stopped drinking immediately and put it in envelopes to send as a substitute for Anthrax.

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

That shit was nasty.

 

[phantomdesign]

I hear that if they drink pineapple juice, it kind of tastes like it.

 

[VictimOfScience]

Tang is good...esp when mixed with Red Bull, Cherry Vodka, Grape Vodka and a splash of Sprite. Mmm...tasty. (Seriously, its a real drink at a bar across the river from where I work.)

 

[hool10]

Ya, Tang used to taste like fizzy, orange, sugary goodness. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tang_(drink) Now it's syrupy and watery. :x They had grape too, but orange was by far the best. I can't find the ad, but it had an orangutan swinging on a vine with kids in the 90's. I remember it because they made it all crazy and showed it quite often. Only thing I found of it was this:

They green screened it and it was a robot?!?!?!

Sounds like you need a drink then. Did you know Tang is supposed to quell hormonal inbalances that makes horny teenagers like you talk about sex all the time?

Srsly though, stfu about sex. this isn't playboy.com.


On topic: It seems that many major companies these days are changing the recipes of popular foods and drink mixtures.

My guess is because they are trying to save $. Therefore they can make even more $.

It makes me sick tbh, and the reson why I've just been eating more healthy foods lately.
For example, does anyone remember Lucky Charms? The fools changed the recipe from what I loved and grew up with.
The cereal bits just tasted...I don't know.....fake and cheaper. Not the same as I remembered fs.

I imagine the case with tang is only another casualty in the race to become the wealthiest wholefoods supplier.
CEOs are getting wealthier because we still buy their products despite popular recipies being hugely compromised in order to save (or make) a few extra bucks.


Baal, if you want to save your tang, you should spread the message over the internets about how former tang lovers should boycott the new tang recipe.

Playboy.com...Really? That's a good one. To be honest I don't think they even have a forum to talk about such things. As for talking about "sex" all the time, I don't remember making any other post like that. Also I wasn't the only one to make such a comment.

Lighten up alittle bit, geeze. I didn't know pussy offended you.
