Cup musings...

[jay]

As befits a bunch of space cadets, our universal everyday beverage is Tang. It exists by the case, while the coffee and cocoa are gone.

Here on Devon Island we have a fine alkaline dust... probably similar to the playa dust at Burning Man, in some respects.

This dust combines with Tang to leave an orangey-brown sediment on the side of my cup. Three layers now. It is time to change to harder stuff...

Tang derives from filtered, freeze-dried orange juice... with added sugar, orange coloring and Vitamin C to backfill some of what was lost in processing. Flat-tasting and sugary, not even close to the quality of "real" juice, but it lasts a long time in storage. And was developed as astronaut food, a fact with was used in its advertisements throughout the 1960s and 70s (grin)
