Three Things I Didn’t Know About Orange Julius
by Jason English - April 10, 2007 - 1:26 PM

orange-julius.jpgDuring yesterday’s game of Mall Trivia, we touched on Orange Julius. I don’t think I’ve ever actually had an Orange Julius. So there are way more than three things I don’t know about the storied franchise. But here are a few I found of interest.

• Orange Julius is owned by Berkshire Hathaway.

• Johnny Carson and Alan Shepard were presented with lifetime passes to Orange Julius in the 1960s.

• The former Orange Julius logo resembled Arizona State’s Sparky, a Sun Devil with a pitchfork. The slogan: “A Devilishly Good Drink.” After threats of a lawsuit from ASU’s alumni association, Orange Julius retired its mascot.

  1. Oooh, that must explain why I see small anthropomorphic geckos walking around at the mall.

  2. Very good Orange Julius research, Jason! I knew the Bershire Hathaway and Devil logo deals, but was not aware of the lifetime passes. Do you have any idea how I can get one?
