Enjoy Tang the fusion way


There is no doubt we have all
grown up drinking our own favourite flavours of Tang which
has been an integral part of peoples daily diet since 1959 and
it continues to be the favourite
drink of choice for billions of
customers across the globe.
While choosing your own individual favourite flavours has
been the norm all these years,
Motibhai Group which distributes Tang in Fiji has come with an
exciting new way of enjoying it.
We have now come up with
the concept of Tang Fusion
which is a very simple way of enjoying your drink by mixing different flavours together and creating your own favourite taste,
Motibhai Group marketing manager Abraham Gomes says.
Fusion in this context basically means mixing or combining
different flavours of your Tang in
one drink to make a totally new

flavour, Mr Gomes adds.


He said the concept is officially the first ever to be tried in the
world with Fiji leading the initiative for its loyal base of customers country-wide.
I encourage customers to create their own Tang Fusion and
share it with us on our Facebook
page, Mr Gomes said.
Originally formulated by
General Foods Corporation
food scientist William A. Mitchell, the Tang brand is owned by
Mondelz International and marketed in powdered form internationally.
Loved and enjoyed by adults
and children alike, Tang is undoubtedly one of the best gifts to
mankind and packed with Vitamin C.
Going down memory lane,
Tang was used by earlier NASA
manned space flights. In 1962,
when Mercury astronaut John

Glenn conducted eating experiments in orbit, Tang was selected for the menu. It was also
used during some Gemini flights
which created an early perception
that Tang was developed only for
use by astronauts.
You dont need to be an astronaut or a rocket scientist to
enjoy Tang thanks to its great
taste and international distribu-

tion network which means Tang


is available everywhere and to
everyone, Mr Gomes said.
With real fruit extracts Tang
comes in various packs and sizes
to make it easily accessible to
customers.
Tang is distributed in Fiji by
Motibhai Group bringing quality products for you and your
family.

home as a solution to whiten cotton and household surfaces, and salesmen were assigned to do live demos.
During the 1950s Domestos started to get involved in health education campaigns to encourage polio vaccination. In the 1960s the brand
was acquired by Unilever and the famous Domestos Thick Bleach was
successfully launched, gaining international expansion.
It has come a long way since the brand started as a bottled bleach.
The range now includes liquid thick bleach, multipurpose spray, limescale removers, fragranced toilet rim blocks and wipes, making Domestos a germ kill expert.
Domestos is also taking the war on germs to where people are most
affected. Through its social mission, Domestos will help 25million
