Actually this was on Reading Rainbow...

No really. I learned this when I was 4 from reading rainbow.

 

 

They pour this powder into a glass of water and they stir it. It's some reflective, non-soluable material so it doesn't dissolve. It gets stirred and they take a shot of that stuff and they digitally enhance it and then they take that and insert it into the transporter.

 

So Ironic that was from Reading Rainbow with Levar burton and I was confused why Levar had the VISOR on. :blink:
