Tuna

Tang Flavor Name: "Tuna"

English Translation: "Cactus"

Mascot: "Tono the Tuna"

Rating (Out of 5): -5

COMMENTS: I was initially SHOCKED to see that the flavor of this Tang was "Tuna". I like Tuna as sushi, but was dubious of Tuna as a beverage. I was relieved to discover that the front of the packet did not have pictures of fish on it, and tried "Tuna Tang" with an open mind. That open mind was slammed shut at the first taste of this VILE and PESTILENT concoction, which I can only assume is what thirsty people are served in hell. ACTUAL FISH TANG WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER!!!

Tamarindo

Tang Flavor Name: "Tamarindo"

English Translation: Pulp from the fruit of the Tamarind tree.

Mascot: "Reggy the Tamarindo"

Rating (Out of 5): 0

COMMENTS: For all I know this is an accurate simulation of whatever the hell Tamarid is. If that's true, I HATE Tamarid. Wood-Pulp-Mixed-With-Soil would be a better flavor of Tang.

Manzana

Tang Flavor Title: "Manzana"

English Translation: "Apple"

Mascot: "Wanda the Manzana"

Rating (Out of 5): 4

COMMENTS: The taste is more like apple pulp or apple skins than apple juice. It reminded me of an apple-flavored ice tea. But once I got over the subverted expectations, which required concentration (see below photo) I actually enjoyed it.

Moras


Tang Flavor Name: "Moras"

English Translation: "Berry"

Mascot: "Lucas the Moras"

Rating (Out of 5): 4

COMMENTS: The Tang was named just generic "Berry", but the front of the packet depicted raspberries and blackberries. The taste had nothing to do with either of those berries. It was more like the flavor of some cosmic space berry that mankind has yet to meet. Nonetheless it was good. I drank the whole batch.

Coco


Tang Flavor Name: "Coco"

English Translation: "Coconut"

Mascot: "Cuco the Coco"

Rating (Out of 5): 2

COMMENTS: I think what they were going for here was the flavor of coconut WATER not the flavor of coconut MILK. I'm basing that on the fact that it mostly tasted like water. Let's say it has a "subtle flavor".
Unfortunately, it is a gross subtle flavor.

Sandia


Tang Flavor Name: "Sandia"

English Translation: "Watermelon"

Mascot: "Willy the Sandia"

Rating (Out of 5): 2

COMMENTS: I truly expected to like this one. Not only do I like real watermelon, I also like most fake watermelon flavor (like Jolly Ranchers). But this... HORRIBLE! It was like they were trying to simulate the taste of watermelon RIND.
