Fans discuss and locate a memorable George quote about Tang from "The Hamptons" episode, debating which character corresponds to which astronaut and discussing Tang's cultural significance.
Can anyone remember in which episode and in which context George used the word "tang"? I think it was something like...
"It's like I'm Buzz Aldrin and you're Neil Armstrong....I turn around for a sip of tang, and YOU jump out first!"
I don't know, but I find it really funny. Probably because tang is such a weird drink.

It's from the episode "The Hamptons," when George finds out that everyone has seen Jane topless except him.
George (to Jerry): Well, how good a look did you get?
Jerry: Well what'd you mean?
George: Well, if she was a criminal and you had to describe her to a police sketch artist -
Jerry: They'd pick her up in about ten minutes.
George: Great, great. So anytime you want, you can just visualize her naked.
Jerry: I guess that's true...
George: Stop it, stop it! It's not fair. It's not fair! I don't like this situation, Jerry. I don't like it one bit.
Jerry: What do you want me to do? You wanna see Rachel naked?
George: Yes! Yes, the punishment should fit the crime.
Jerry: You can see me naked, I can offer you that.
George: It's like I'm Neil Armstrong! I turn around for a sip of Tang, and you jump out first!

Thus making "Neil Armstrong" miss his moment! I can think of 1 more reference to Neil Armstrong in Seinfeld. Do you know it? Any others?
In article , "Stephen \(aka steford\)" says...
Yes, when George was competing with another Neil. What if he's Neil Armstrong? Then I'm going to Mars!

The Dinner Party Monologue: I think we all would have been a lot happier if they hadn't landed a man on the moon. Then we'd go, They can't make a prescription bottle top that's easy to open? I'm not surprised they couldn't land a man on the moon. Things make perfect sense to me now. Neil Armstrong should have said, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for every, complaining, sob on the face of the earth. "
The English PAtient: GEORGE: I gotta stay one step ahead of Neil. JERRY: (musing) What if it's Neil Armstrong? George thinks for a moment, his eyes twitching. GEORGE: (animated) Then I'm going to Mars!

Here's where the joke came from (why Tang is associated to Neil Armstrong):
I remember when Tang first came out back in the 60's. ''The astronauts drink Tang'' ''It's delicious, full of vitamins,good for you''

Tang was a very popular breakfast drink in the 60's because that was what the Astronaughts drank. In fact, in a taste test kids picked Tang's taste over real Orange Juice, because that is what they were used to. (yeah, I drank it too).

Yeah, but suppose the astronauts wanted to send a letter to someone telling him or her about Tang--either orange or (I remember) grape. What would they write the letter with?

That's the second time you said 'Astronaught'. There is no such thing as 'Astronaught' according to the http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary
Unless your're kidding with us, I got you!
You know, I got one of those pens that writes upside down. I rarely use it because it is a little too fat and harder to hold than a regular pen. So, it is a good thing Jerry gave it back! :-)
