>> But I think that she meant “Tang”, not “Ting”! <<
Read her description of it: “Ting” was ready-made carbonated grape-fruit juice. “Tang” is mostly a powder of citric acid, sugar, and orange coloring, with a vaguely orange flavor, usually added to flat water.
After I posted that "Tang/Ting" statement, I re-read it and realized that I was wrong about the drink -- especially when she said it was her "ten-year old" who was talking about it.
