Tang is probably the novelty product most associated with the space program, with many people thinking it was developed by or for NASA.
That's actually a common misconception, according to the agency itself.
The powdery drink mix was, however, forever immortalized when John Glenn took the drink on the Friendship 7 orbital spacecraft in 1962, and has been associated with the space program ever since — even though Buzz Aldrin hated the stuff, according to NPR.
Given the product's notoriety, it might be hard to argue we've forgotten about it. Although, when was the last time anyone you knew tossed back a cold, refreshing Tang?
Believe it or not, though, the drink lives on internationally, making $900 million annually for producer Mondelez International. It's most popular in Brazil, Argentina, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, and Mexico, according to the company.
