Orange Julius
Been traveling the last week, stopped in Kansas at a DQ. Was reminded they bought Orange Julius. So I ordered one and was reminded of every mall visit in the 80s. Taste has a pretty strong memory trigger.
Reminded me though.... what is in that white powder they dump in? As a kid we always speculated it was cocaine.

I liked them back in the day.
I believe originally they had raw egg in the blend.
They were good.

That's funny....two weeks ago I was on the boardwalk Ocean City, MD.. One of the kids asked what "Orange Julius" was. I bought them one and had a few sips. Originally Posted by iceclimb

I suspect there's logic behind the madness, but I'm too dumb to see it.

06-21-2017, 04:52 AM #13jgb@etree GuestHeh. Used to get them at my local mall as a kid too, but I was more of a strawberry julius kind of guy. I have a DQ close to home that we go to frequently, but still haven't ordered a julius. I'll hang on to the same childhood memory that you managed to destroy Originally Posted by smartyiak

I used to get them in the 80's also, they had the basket of eggs on the counter and would ask if you wanted the raw egg or not.

DQ is for Blizzards and Blizzards only. Unless you're buying.

I'll defer to Rontele and his years of Orange Julius mastery on that one. Originally Posted by SkiBall

I remember Orange Julius as a kid, and also being disappointed with the DQ version some years ago. I think DQ did some cost cutting to the formula, because it was definitely not the same experience. Maybe it was the egg.
DQ does one thing right, though. Chocolate dipped ice cream cones.
