There was a TV show that originally ran from 1965-1967 Called " F Troop". It was rerun into the ground during syndication from the 70's all the way through the 90's. In one episode there was a character called "Col. Dimitri Agarnoff" played by Larry Storch the character was Russian and he said to the main character, Sergeant O'Rourke, "Drink this it make you strong like bull" later in the same episode a American Indian character played by the same actor Larry Storch says it again, word for word. Of course that is part of the joke. It was a very funny episode and would have stuck in peoples minds. This would explain why it spans generations and is remembered as being said by a Russian and by an American Indian.
