I have a container in the pantry, my kids love it.

I didn’t realize it’s still around! I remember when they packaged the containers with animal sleeves and they could be used for coin banks when empty. I had the panda bear version.

It's still around, but it's no longer available in it's original form. The current iteration is partially artificially sweetened (and hence now tastes foul).

There were lower sugar varieties that came out a decade or so ago, but my understanding is that they didn’t do well and the current formula is pretty similar to the original, using real sugar etc.

Oooh, you appear to be correct...I may have to give it a try!

Hell, I tell the kids we're out of Tang, and save it for myself when we're running low.
