What Happened To The All-Time Mall Favorite Orange Julius
It all began at a small orange juice stand in, Los Angeles, California. The year was 1926 with Julius Freed. His real estate broker, Bill Hamlin fooled around with some ingredients that made the orange juice less bothersome to his stomach. To Freed’s surprise, the stand began serving the creamier drink, and his sales at the stand increased.s
In the 50s and 60s the drink expanded to Orange Julius stands at state and county fairs. Then Julius sold it all to International Industries the same owners as the IHOP. Orange Julius stands then went into almost every mall in America including Macomb Mall and Oakland Mall. A bit of history of success, Orange Julius was the official drink of the 1964 World’s Fair.
In 1987 DQ Dairy Queen bought the rights to the Orange Julius Chains and marketed the drink at their DQ Treat Stores. Now in 2023 Dairy Queen seem to be phasing the drink away from some of its stores.
Always been a treat for me at Macomb Mall for years to grab an Orange Julius and a salted big pretzel any day of the week. Sadly the Orange Julius has been gone from the mall for many years.
Good news as I have concocted a recipe of my own from watching the Orange Julius stores and remembering most of the ingredients that go into making one. Now it’s close but nothing will come close to the memories of an ice-cold Orange Julius back in the day.

The Top 4 Traumatizing Banned Kids Toys From Childhood
Thinking back you would not believe some of the toys we played with in childhood were so dangerous.Parents can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that safety standards for children’s toys have improved since these catastrophes hit the shelves. If you look hard enough you can still get some of these toys on Facebook marketplace, eBay, or at a lucky garage sale.
Lots are banned like baby cribs, baby car seats, and swings because of the risk of harm to a child. Toys on the other hand it was hit or miss growing up. Parents took their chances with some of the toys we grew up with. Mom was always close with a squeeze bottle ofBactine, a cleansing spray & liquid that takes the “ouch” out of cuts, scrapes, and minor burns and kills 99.9% of germs* at the same time. The formula is different now… it really stung back in the day.
The problem with kids back then and kids now is we never played with toys the way they were intended. Never read the directions on the warning labels because the toys didn’t have them on most of the games. Never knew little Timmy would get hit in the head with Lawn Darts in the foot or head. Just thought it would be fun to see how high you could throw one.
Here’s a sample of The Top 4 Traumatizing Kids Banned Toys From Childhood… Here’s to surviving our childhood!
Lawn Darts
In 1970, the U.S.Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classified sharp-pointed lawn darts as a “mechanical hazard,” a designation that prohibited the sale of lawn darts. But they were sure fun to throw at each other. Just kidding!
Kracy Klackers
The 1970’s were a great decade to be a kid. We got to walk around with legitimate martial arts weapons like the Klacker balls and Lawn Darts. It was awesome. I don’t want to admit how many times I smacked my wrist or head playing with these.
The Gilbert U-238 Atomic Energy Lab
Atomic Energy Lab was meant to let kids experiment with nuclear physics in the comfort of their own homes! What could go wrong? Thank goodness we have had better scientific understanding since 1951.
Rollerblade Barbie from Mattel (1992)
Rollerblade Barbie…Once dragged back and forth across a surface the rollerblades would fire out sparks. Mattel eventually banned the toy due to fire hazards and safety concerns. Remember how much hairspray was used back in the day?
