What the H**l does Tang do for the formulation...?

It's the sugar. The oxidant.

pardon me Right but your wrong

The sugar in Tang is the reducing agent - the peroxide would be the oxidizing agent.

But if they mixed them together how id it not go boom when mixed - somebody know?

Sugar is fuel, not oxidizer. The first composite model rocket engines from the 1970s used sugar mixed with an oxidizing agent.
