Thanks for that info. I can't find it either. Please report on
whether you like it or not.

I thought it was pretty good. I never drank Tang before but if you
choose not to drink real orange juice...or real Tang for that
matter...this seemed quite decent. It has more "substance" than
orange Kool-Aid would - it seems "thicker" somehow, like orange juice
is. The ingredients mention "orange juice solids." And it has
vitamins...so it has some redeeming value. It *is* a slightly "neon"
orange color...kinda glows in the refrigerator. I'd buy it again -
I just hope I can find it locally for less $$$ than online. Kalish

Thanks! And wouldn't you know that I forgot to look for that on
my Wal-Mart expedition?

If you're willing to take a drive just north of the Massachusetts border,
there's a Super Wal-Mart in Salem NH. They have lots of LC stuff that I
don't see at my local grocery stores, including:
- Sugar-free Tang, $2.87
- Breyer's CarbSmart ice cream - $2.98 (chocolate, vanilla, strawberry)
- CarbSmart klondike ice-cream bars, $2.87 (just chocolate, I think)
- Chef's Choice low-carb frozen dinners, $2.98 each (the front covers
list total carb counts of about 9, 10, or 12 -- but I looked at the
back, and they hadn't deducted fiber, so it's actually better than that)
- Arnold Carb-Counting bread, $2.68 (net 6 g/slice after deducting 3g
fiber, and they look like normal-sized slices; whole wheat and
multi-grain varieties)

The drive to NH probably beats paying high shipping costs.
(Plus their other grocery items are pretty inexpensive, too.)

You can find it at super Wal-Mart stores for about 2.89 a cannister

Yes, I went to a Wal-Mart yesterday to see if they had ANYTHING.
But since it wasn't a Super Wal-Mart, there was virtually
nothing--less than what I can find at my regular grocery store.

If you find it somewhere in the MetroWest-Boston area, please let me
know.

also has it - it's where I get mine, also my Crystal Lite and my Sugar Free
Jello, since the flavors carried in the local stores are so limited.

Will do. I THINK I have looked in all the grocery stores in my
vicinity. I do keep looking though, especially when there has
been a thread to remind me.

Yes, someday I will probably have to resort to ordering some LC
things online. I hate doing that though.

Sugar Free Tang really is the closest thing we low-carbers are going to get to
the taste of real orange juice.

Not only that, it's great for cleaning the ring out of the bathtub! ;-)

Personally, I prefer orange-pineapple or tangerine Kool-Aid to Tang,
especially when made with sweetener equivalent to half a cup sugar
instead of the cup the package asks for.
I used to make it with 12 packets.

I now make Kool-Aid with 1/4 tsp of NOW brand stevia* powder ("potent
white extract") and about 1 tsp liquid saccharin for carb-free sweetener.
Little enough saccharin for it to get bitter, and stevia has more of a
very sweet aftertaste than a sweet taste, with the saccharin providing
foretaste.


*Note: stevia extract varies widely in refinement, strength and
aftertaste from brand to brand. I prefer the NOW brand as well-refined,
and inexpensive (about $6/ounce in the supermarket). An ounce is more
than a half a cup of powder, and a pile about the size of a dried split
pea is roughly equivalent to a packet.

A little bit of psyllium powder adds pseudo-pulp and body to SF Kool-Aid.

I couldn't find any at my local stores so I looked online. I found it
at www.looneystuff.com - $4.89 for a cannister with 4 "tubs" - each
tub makes 1.5 quarts. The main sweetener is aspartame but unless
you're planning on drinking it by the quart, shouldn't be a big
problem. They will send 1-3 cannisters for the same shipping price
($3.85). I ordered it 28 Sept at night and the package arrived today,
1 Oct (trying to be universal with the date format!). Kalish

I don't know if they have Safeway supermarkets in your area, but
that's where I find SF Tang around here (Washington, DC area).

It isn't always easy to find - at the Safeway, the SF Tang isn't right
there next to the "regular" Tang, it's with the Crystal Lite and other
similar mixes. I didn't see it at Safeway the first time, because I
was looking for it in the wrong place.
