591. Try Tang

Tang is an orangish beverage made from powder.  It's smoother-tasting than orange juice, but not a good imitation of it.  I guess the main reason to drink it would be because astronauts drank it.  I saw a recipe for a cocktail called the Buzz Aldrin that contains Tang.  It didn't sound all that great, due to the fact that it contained Tang.  Astronaut ice cream is pretty interesting though; it squeaks when you chew it.  And I heard that the astronauts had liquid forms of salt and pepper, since powdered versions might fly around and get stuck in the circuit boards.  I guess they had the salt dissolved in water, and the pepper suspended in oil.  It would be kind of cool to have that on your dining room table.  All your guests would be confused.
