Orange Julius - Wikipedia
I grew up drinking these and read they were in europe at one point. I wonder if people overseas know about these. I wonder if they have been in asia or other places also. They are a very interesting drink.
Nope...afraid not..... sounds American...... which seeing we do have McDonalds, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Hard Rock Cafe etc. etc. means we should have some Orange Julius... but no.. not yet..... are we missing something? o7
Orange Julius isn’t very well-known outside of the United States. There have been calls to take this drink to Europe and other locations with many international customers seeking a taste of an iconic drink. But the truth is, they already tired. Orange Julius took their drink to Europe in the 70s, before falling to achieve any sort of traction in the United Kingdom and Netherlands.
Originally, and through the 1980's, a raw egg blended into the drink was offered as an option. This was seen as a good source of protein for body builders. However, the option was later dropped for food safety reasons, and bananas were offered as a substitute.
In the 1970s and early 1980s, Orange Julius beverage stands used the image of a devil with a pitchfork, similar to that of the Arizona State University mascot, Sparky around an orange, with the slogan, "A Devilishly Good Drink". The company later dropped the logo and slogan after threats of a lawsuit from the ASU alumni association. The chain suffered after the loss of its slightly infringed mascot and sales began to drop off.
When I lived in Greenwich I used to travel down to Lewisham to use the Wendy's - this was in the 80's - there aren't any here any more - shame as I liked their burgers....
