This sounds like a reprint of a National Geographic Magazine article I read at the doctor’s office recently. I don’t recall the publication date but it was well illustrated.

Lol, don’t understand the video, but still funny!

I’ve been unable to find out what Tang means in Chinese.

A magical substance lost for centuries that could make ordinary water taste like orange juice.

At last the secret is revealed!

Although it just makes it taste kinda like OJ.

Lt. Col. Owen Thursday: Your license may permit you to keep a medicinal store of whiskey, but this is no whiskey.
Silas Meacham: Perhaps you're not used to frontier whiskey.
Lt. Col. Owen Thursday: I don't know... I've tasted most everything.
[to Sgt. Mulcahy] Lt. Col. Owen Thursday: Sergeant, you a judge of whiskey?
First Sgt. Festus Mulcahy: [looks around at the others] Uh, well, sir, some people say I am and some say I'm not, sir.
Lt. Col. Owen Thursday: [hands him the cup] Tell me what you make of this.
First Sgt. Festus Mulcahy: [takes a drink - makes a face at Meacham - takes another drink] Well, uh, it's better than no whiskey at all, sir.

Something like the same principle applies to Tang: (makes a face), well it's better than no O.J. at all, sir.
