Wrong - Tang was invented in the USA.

.

"There's nothing like a celebrity endorsement to give your
brand that cool factor -- just ask the makers of Tang.
Astronauts drank it in space in the 1960s, and everyone
knew Astronauts were the coolest."

"Times were tough for Tang before NASA's astronauts gave it a
boost. The orange-flavored drink was invented in 1957,
and first sold in 1959 by General Foods. It wasn't a hot
seller -- after all, in America, land of abundance, did
we really need a replacement for good old orange juice?"

"Tang existed as a product for a few years before finding its
niche, in outer space. The first astronaut to bring Tang
into orbit was John Glenn, on a Mercury mission aboard
Friendship 7 in February 1962."

I’ve got three TANG jars I bought in 1968! A fourth might be from the TANG company.

Now if I could find some Ming to go with Tang.

The drive to get to the moon was because Tang needed to return to its own kind before its expiration.
