TANG

Tang gives this bracket something it needs: a generational curveball. While younger voters may immediately reach for Capri Sun or SunnyD, Tang can unlock a completely different childhood kitchen. The powder, the orange color and the ritual of mixing a glass give it a memory that isn’t interchangeable with grabbing a juice box from the fridge. That distinction matters in a league built on nostalgia. Tang vs. SunnyD is the orange-drink showdown begging to happen, while Tang vs. Kool-Aid turns into powder-against-powder with very different loyalties attached. It may not enter as the obvious favorite, but upsetting a modern childhood heavyweight would make the bracket much more fun. Does Tang still have the pull?
