Sales of Tang were poor until NASA used it on John Glenn's Mercury flight,[3] and subsequent Gemini missions. Since then, it was closely associated with the U.S. manned spaceflight program, leading to the misconception that Tang was invented for the space program.[4][5]

Ouch. I hate when I get busted.
My confusion is believing that most technology/products originate from the space or military programs. Of course, they got the technology from captured space crafts. :)

Well, I was a Tang drinker back in the day so I knew it came out before John Glenn drank it. It was a big deal and Tang's TV ads always said something like "Tang, what astronauts drink in space".
