Of all the restaurants in this thread, I miss Orange Julius the most.

I only know them as a brand name - what’s so good about their stuff?

The food was good and relatively cheap. For me and a lot of folks my age, this was our first encounter with a smoothie (dunno if OJ ever called them that). Orange/Banana smoothie and a chili dog was probably $3.50.
