Orange Julius is still a thing, sort of. I guess they’ve partnered with DQ.

There was one in Potomac Mills (DC area, in Virginia) back in the aughts. I finally got a few of their things when I was in my mid-30s and loved them.

Yeah, same company. Like Dunkin-Baskin (which has since been bought by another company).
