For some reason, every time I say “Orange Dream Machine”, I smile. I have no idea why I always smile. Ever since I took my first sip into that delicious cup of goodness, I have always bought that drink every time I go to Jamba Juice. Of the last ten times I have visited a Jamba Juice, I have gotten the Orange Dream Machine (smile).
As the fundraiser at Jamba Juice comes nearer and nearer each day, I began to ponder how come people buy drinks there so often. It is winter quarter and I see people regularly leaving the store as I pass by on the bus. I understand it is full of vitamins but why do people drink it when it is cold? Also, it may have fruits and wheat grass and all of those things I would not normally eat that is healthy for me, but isn’t there also sugar and calories that some people don’t notice until later on. And to top it off, there is a secret menu that has ceased to be advertised because Jamba Juice is moving towards a “healthier” solution to people’s sugar cravings.
I do not dislike Jamba Juice, but I just don’t understand how it can have so many frequent customers. I rather drink Mountain Dew than Jamba Juice because, although I am taking in much more grams of sugar and probably give myself a higher chance to develop diabetes, I save much more money and it’s much more convenient for me to walk to the fridge to get a glass of Mountain dew rather than ride my bike to the closest Jamba Juice. In fact, I am actually going to make myself a glass right now.
I think AAA is making the right decision to fundraise at Jamba Juice. It is conveniently located about 5-10 minutes from campus. Why I pass by Jamba Juice every single day, regardless of my cravings for it.
So if you are free Tuesday, February 16, 2010, please feel free to drop by and support UC Davis AAA by buying a drink (with a flyer).
