That reminds me of a sci fi convention where my sister was in charge of the hospitality (snacks and such). As we had no money for soda, we made a big industrial sized jug of Tang. Since it was the year Glenn went back to space, we covered our impoverished butts by calling it "The John Glenn Celebratory Tang Toast"

Side note on Cool Whip. I learned about this while working as a contractor for NY factory. There are different kinds of Cool Whip. A sweeter version goes to Canada and a version with less air whipped in was made for transportation to the west coast- less air to prevent containers popping when they go over the Rockies

Hello, Max. I can add a little to your story. I studied food, nutrition and dietetics at UC Berkeley from 1970-1975, and this subject came up. Our professors helped determine what astronauts (and soldiers) needed and the specifications were turned over to the food scientists. Berkeley's recommendation was to send orange juice which was served at most American breakfast tables. However, it did not reconstitute in zero gravity. Tang was chosen because it was similar to orange juice and mixed easily in space. For years after, nutritionists had to counter the idea that Tang and orange juice were equally nutritious. Tang was astronaut food, for technical reasons, but, it does not have the same nutritional benefits of real juice.

When I was a kid, my grandmother would make us “Russian tea.” It was a mix of Tang, lemonade powder, ice tea powder, sugar, cinnamon, and whole cloves you would add hot water to. I believe it is a twisted take on the Russian custom to serve tea with lemon. It is something I enjoy even now when I want something hot but fruity in the winter!

Freeze drying is a fairly complete form of dehydration, the actual reason the texture is preserved is that the product is first frozen and then vacuumed dry, in the process the ice sublimates directly into vapor and doesn't boil, combined with the fact the cells are frozen stiff, it all results in no tears and ruptures of the cell structure within foods.
