I can't shake this strange desire I have to try an Orange Julius, yet tragically, they only exist in the US and Canada. Could someone please describe to me what they are like? I like the name.

They're fantastic! I get a weird craving for one out of the blue every now and then. They had an Orange Julius stand at the mall by my house growing up.
You can make one yourself:
6 oz. frozen orange juice concentrate
1 cup milk
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
8-9 ice cubes
Combine all ingredients except ice cubes in blender.
Blend for about 1-2 minutes, adding ice cubes one at a time.
It's kind of (*kind of*) like a creamsicle, if you have those where you're at. Imagine cream and orange juice together - that's pretty close to it.
Orange Julius is nummy nummy. Damn it, now I want one...
Wow thanks Eyebite! I just went and bought the ingredients, so when my concentrate is frozen I'll make it and report back.
And I have no idea what creamside is. Seems Australia is woefully behind the times when it comes to frozen creamy citrus drinks...

Cremesicles, blech. The bane of my existence. My wife loves the flavor, maybe I will try to track down one of these things. Then again, if they are owned by "All of our food tastes exactly the same" , maybe I'll just make one for her!

Creamsicle like popsicle (not creamside)... :)
There goes my 20-20 vision. Oh well it lasted 30 years so I guess I can't complain :)
And what's a creamsicle? I'm feeling increasingly out of the loop as this conversation progresses...

It's a frozen ice-cream thing on a stick.

Oddly enough, it's a brand (like "Kleenex," or "Thermos," or *cough* "Adventure Path" ) of popsicles that come in several flavors. Typically though, when someone says "Cremesicle," they are referring to the "shudder" orange / vanilla-like swirl mixture flavor (gak).
It's basically flavored ice with ice cream in the middle.

Kahoolin, you have access to Bundaberg Root Beer and Ginger Beer. I'd give up Orange Julius and Creamsicles for life for those. And I love Orange Julius and creamsicles.
EDIT: I wanted to mention that I do get occasional bizarre sudden cravings for Orange Julius, and I started getting those cravings before I'd ever tried it. I'm not sure what makes them so freaking addictive.

Heh, I had a Bundy ginger beer with my vegetarian bolognese last night. Tis indeed good.
As for craving Orange Julius before you've even tried it - tell me about it. Maybe Julius accidentally stumbled across some ancient Words of Compelling when he named it?

Julius Freed was a genius - I'm sure Schroedinger got his idea for killing cats from seeing what Freed did to pigeons.
Whoah that's pretty tasty. Very orangey though - am I supposed to make up the concentrate before I freeze it, or use it straight up? I used it straight and it's the strongest taste.
That Freed guy was a genius.
TTTOOOO MUUUCHH SUGGAAARRR!!!
You crazy Americans and your sugar filled recipes!
I need to go for a run or something now...
