If you feel sad, eat an orange 🍊
Does it work with (non-artifical) orange juice as well?
If it’s artificial it isn’t orange juice.
Artificial juice can definitely be orange (from dyes) 🤓

True, but here (Denmark) it is literally illegal to sell anything but pure fruit juice as juice, if it is made from concentrate it has to be labelled clearly, and it is only allowed to ad the amount of water that was removed.
If it has added sugar it is called Nektar.
If it has artificial flavors it is called Saft. Saft can also have added sugar. Saft also means Juice, English does not AFAIK have the words to distinguish between pure juice and flavored and sweetened juice.
IDK the rules in other EU countries, but my guess is that they are similar, but localized depending on language.
I think the closest word would be syrup.
Tang is certainly orange

At least for me, all citrus fruits including their juices have an effect that they make me somewhat happier and help somewhat against depression. In the winter, I usually eat several mandarins a day.
If the bacteria can get what they need from it, i imagine the less processed it is the better.
