Koohii stories:

1) [guidedog] 19-7-2007(139): Sugar made from rice has a tangy flavour.

2) [nest0r] 18-11-2007(125): The T'ang are the ones who began using sugar in China–of course, the first thing they tried it on was rice.

3) [Viking101] 4-1-2010(56): The ultimate sugary breakfast is a rice krispy treat and a big glass of Tang.

4) [Hinode] 11-3-2009(37): This is what my research yielded on the origin of the kanji: The traditional form of sugar in China was maltose, which is a form a sugar made from malt (= dried grains). It was still used in the late Han and throughout the Tang period, though during the Tang sugar cane substituted grains as the primary source of sugar.

5) [dihutenosa] 11-9-2007(24): Condi Rice wakes up every morning and spoons about three cups of sugar into her Tang. Why? Well, she's got to have something to hype her up about facing the American public day after day. Picture her waking up and shaking until she gets her daily sugar ration…then things go overboard and she starts to pipe sugar-loaded Tang straight into her veins..
