Tang was a commercial product that kids wouldn’t drink - until they got NASA to fly it into space. Then every kid wanted to drink what the astronauts drank. At least you got it right that the hook and loop (velcro) was developed elsewhere (actually in WW II France.)
Not to mention their parents. If it was good enough to provide basic nutrition to our space heroes, it was good enough for our kids. My mom used to make what she called "Russian tea" -- one part tang, one part instant tea, add hot water and quaff away. I thought it was pretty tasty stuff until I grew up and learned what actual tea tastes like.

Switzerland, actually. Velcro was incredibly useful stuff in the space program, but also had some tragic complications -- the adhesive used to attach the velcro to the capsule interior contributed to the Apollo I fire. Anything flammable was a nasty problem in a pure-oxygen environment.
