Growing up in a northern snow covered region in the 80’s - I recall hot Tang being a common field drink on winter excursions, often transported in artillery grade looking thermos bottles, (which I guess is in line with the astronaut marketing, but the common factor is I think the dry weight and hence cheap air transport-ability).

In Texas they serve it boiling hot.

I’m not a fan of carbonated beverages in general, so that reaction fits. Once I stir them until nearly flat, they’re much more tasty!

My grandparents, when they had a bar, would simply use an immersion heater when the old people demanded their beer “g’staucht” (literally"squashed" = warm).
At least that’s what I’m told, the era of ubiquitous warm beer was over when I was around, this would have been in the 50s and 60s.

Fun fact, Pepsi got it’s name because it was advertised to relieve dyspepsia.

I met someone off Grindr who was into Hot Soda, but I never tried it because I don’t have three-phase AC in my apartment
Yes, I think it is somewhat rare to see someone drink warm beer nowadays. I never have. Personally, I like beer (pale lager aka “Helles”, Bock-Beer or Pale Ale) when it is not too cold. Although I have never measured the temperature, I guess it is in the range of 10 - 14 °C. Maybe people used beer warmers to raise temperature in general, not only to make “warm” beer. Wheat beer on the other hand can be significantly colder for my taste.

It’s hard to find any two words in that that sound good together, much less all five.

My Gram also gave it to use when we were sick; I’m originally from Ohio.

I don’t mind the carbonation, but I’ve never understood the demand for it. Oh, I can’t drink this, the bubbles are gone!

Well, that’s a new euphemism!

Previously carbonated soda which has gone flat is basically just watery syrup.

Yeah, but watery syrup with bubbles doesn’t strike me as superior.

It’s just easier to swallow, I guess.
