Tang is a popular powdered orange drink mix created in 1957 by William A. Mitchell, a food scientist at General Foods Corporation. The creator of Tang also invented Pop Rocks, Cool Whip, a form of instant-set Jell-O, and other convenience foods.
Origins and Early Sales
Formulation: William A. Mitchell and chemist William Bruce James developed the formula in 1957.
Market Launch: It hit store shelves in powdered form in 1959 as a convenient breakfast drink rich in vitamin C.
Slow Start: Initial retail sales were low before its association with space exploration.
The NASA Connection
Space Flight: NASA included Tang on John Glenn’s 1962 Mercury flight (Friendship 7) to help make onboard water taste better.
Common Myth: Although widespread belief says Tang was invented for the space program, it was already a commercial product when NASA adopted it.
Marketing Boom: General Foods used the space association in advertising, which caused sales to skyrocket.

Another culinary bit-o-trivia for breakfast!
Eggo waffles were invented in San Jose, California, by Frank Dorsa, who developed a process by which waffles could be cooked, frozen, and packaged for consumers. In 1953, Dorsa, along with younger brothers, introduced their frozen waffles as "Froffles" (a combination of "frozen" and "waffles" ). Because of the egg flavor, customers began calling them "Eggos". Eventually the name became synonymous with the product and, in 1955, the Dorsa brothers officially changed the name to "Eggo". Kellogg's acquired Eggo in 1970 and groomed the brand with clever catchphrase “Leggo my Eggo”.
"'L'eggo my Eggo'" is the famous catchphrase for Eggo frozen waffles, created by the Leo Burnett advertising agency in 1972
