Ask Warren: Orange you as perplexed as I am?

Paul Ringo: Hi, Warren. I wonder if you can help me with this. I am remembering a scene in a movie (probably from the eighties, or possibly even earlier) where the main character (s) go through a drive-thru ordering food and they order the “orange drink”. It’s a comic moment, but i can’t remember anything else about it. I tried googling “orange drink, movie” etc…. but got only other oblique connections (like CLOCKWORK ORANGE). Does it ring a bell at all for you? It seems like it’s a pop culture moment, but i suppose for most people it has faded into oblivion. If you know anything about this, please let me know.Ā Thanks, and thanks for all your reports!

WARREN: From my years of teaching, I’ve learned one of the most important lessons to share with kids is that it’s okay to say: I don’t know. No one can know it all. (Even Einstein couldn’t color-coordinate. That’s why he invented GaranimalsĀ®!) Well, Paul, in this case, I just don’t know. You’ve stumped me. However, the other lesson is to ask for help when you need it. So, I turn to you, cherished readers of The Warren Report, to put a title to Paul’s obscure film reference. Anybody? Anybody? Bueller?!?

    Paul – are you referring to “and a l-a-r-g-e Oh-range drink. Drink, drink! say it,! drink!!”
    If so, that was John Belushi.
    If not, don’t think I can help :)

    Oh, Belushi? hmm. I got the answer from someone on Facebook (thanks to Warren!) and that was a scene in Wayne’s World. The belushi one sounds like it may be more what i had in mind. Do you know what that is from?
