The way that Orange Julius video narrator asks "do you know anyone that knows how these taste?" a couple of times is making my eye twitch. My six-year-old niece knows what they taste like. You can get one at the only DQ near me, and I live in a smallish town. Going out of California, they are still all over the Phoenix metro area, even though "Metrocenter" itself is long gone. I didn't look at the locations map, but if I am familiar with those off the top of my head between two states, how rare are they really? I get that they are a really old brand that is definitely on the downswing, but you can still buy them in most major cities, plus some other more rural locations. Also, I realize I wasn't alive for when they started, but never in my lifetime has the basic recipe for an Orange Julius been a secret. We made them at home as kids. Tasted exactly the same as the ones at Metrocenter. Just lots of weird, factually inaccurate statements for a story that would have been pretty good if they kept it to the facts.
