(53,339 posts)Houston we have a Tang problem ... Buzz Aldrin says his anti-Tang comment was blown WAY out of proportion and he has no problem with the spaceman juice.
Our photog ran into Buzz at LAX on Friday and just had to know what was up with his "Tang sucks" declaration while presenting during Spike TV's Guys Choice Awards.
The 2nd man on the moon gets was a little annoyed about the whole thing and said his comment was just a joke ... not meant to be taken seriously.
Buzz also explained how he allegedly enjoyed Tang up in space ... and it sounds way more gross than this old-timey commercial leads on.

Tang tastes like dessicated ground up orange peels.

So we tested Tang as soon as it showed up on the grocery shelves. In comparison to fresh squeezed orange juice Tang really did suck. I've never had it since and don't plan to.

(34,136 posts)Since we would drive to our groves and pick our own oranges, we never had anything but fresh. Couldn't afford store bought. Not when we could get our own!

(82,383 posts)and they marketed Tang and some other things as stuff astronauts ate in space. I remember some breakfast bars - they were pretty cool actually, but they didn't last - marketed as eaten in space.

(7,237 posts)If your dishwasher gets scuzzy inside... fill the detergent compartments with Tang and run the dishwasher.
The dishwasher will be *spotless* after running it through the Tang cycle.
I shit you not.
I don't remember who told me this, but I tried it and it works like a charm.
