Help me find generic tang!

The fruit drink of the astronauts switched to an artificial sweetener that tastes like ass some time ago. I was good so long as Hill Country Fare was making their powdered orange drink, but they have apparently discontinued it. Their Cherry is...awful.

Does anyone know of a orange(ish) flavored powdered drink that doesn't use aritificial sweeteners? I'm betting Kool Aid won't suffice (or taste good) but haven't actually checked this yet.

    I hadn't heard that Tang was now artificially sweetened, but sure enough, looks like they made the switch last year. Great. Another childhood favorite that I can't drink anymore. :(

    yeah, I hear you, wasted pixels. I didn't drink Tang a lot but it seemed like a reasonable thing if I wanted something that wasn't horrible for me or liquid bread. Now I just don't like it.

    To clarify for the sake of things: I don't know or care about the relative healthiness of sucralose/splenda versus plain ol' sucrose or even HFCS, but the first two taste horrible and I will not abide them.

    Buy the old school Kool-Aid. You add the sugar yourself.

    You can make it as sweet as you want then.

    The thing is, Tang actually has vitamins and isn't just sugar water.

    Yeah, I'm hoping for something closer to Tang than Kool Aid, but it's an option.
