That'd be cool if you have an actual ingredient list, TK.
Thanks for the artwork offer. I had a good time working with Whippy. I'm making this machine as somewhat of a tribute to my friend Ernie, who passed away last year. He loved that orange-whip line from the movie. So the time spent on the machine is good for me, because its exercise walking on the treadmill, and thinking of my good friend so I can toast to him once the machine is all finished.

I'm another step closer. Vinyl sheets arrived today! I had them printed with black lines to help with aligning for cutting with a paper cutter.

I remember Orange Whip tasting just like the newer Orange Julius; creamy and sweet, so probably orange juice with cream or milk and sugar, maybe some spices to give it the flavor it had. I found this recipe online for a two serving batch in a blender:
------------------------------------------------------------ Recipe Ingredients for Orange Whip 6 ounces frozen orange juice concentrate 1 cup 2% milk 1 cup water 1 teaspoon vanilla Recipe Directions for Orange Whip:
Combine all ingredients in blender.
Blend 1-2 minutes, adding 8 ice cubes one at a time, until smooth. ------------------------------------------------------------
Some experimentation to increase the portion sizes to fill the machine should give good results. Of course, then there is using it up before it goes bad... I'd fill it at shows or parties only, because this stuff isn't particularly good for you!

Ok, I see what ya' did there. Cleaned up the original .jpg of the machine. I like that you kept the orange-ish glow, from the lighting, in the photo. It gives the white color a vintage feel that I think is going help drive home the look. Here are the original ingredients for Orange Whip. Accept no substitutes! Straight off an original Orange Whip can of concentrate: - Invert sugar syrup - Concentrated Orange Juice - Dehydrated Milk Solids - Ascorbic Acid - Natural Flavor - Algin Derivative - Egg Albumen - Artificial Color - Ethyl Maltol The concentrate came in a 46oz can with the instructions: * Serve through "Whip Action" dispenser. Use contents with 5 cans of water.

I remember Orange Whip tasting just like the newer Orange Julius Ah, that's great news, thanks. I've never tried either, but I'll go to the mall and check out a "Julius". I found this recipe online for a two serving batch in a blender: ... adding 8 ice cubes one at a time, until smooth. That's a great recipe, thanks! Something I can try at home with regular ingredients. I'll get something working with ice-cubes and then work out how much water that is, as I won't need ice in the final recipe, as I'll have the jetspray cooler to keep everything cold. your friend in drink experimentation, arthur

The concentrate came in a 46oz can with the instructions: * Serve through "Whip Action" dispenser. Use contents with 5 cans of water. Wow, that's some detailed orange whip info, thanks. Do you have an orange whip can of concentrate? If you're interested in selling or trading any original orange whip memorabilia, please let me know. It would go well with my whip machine theme to have a original can sitting next to it. Ethyl Maltol! No wonder they stopped making Orange Whips: That's more toxic than an "Irish Car Bomb", with a shot of motor oil in the bottom of the glass. I was freaking out when some friends started drinking those at the bar, but the MSDS for motor oil really isn't that bad. web.grcc.edu/Pr/msds/automechanics/MotorOil.pdf> QUAKER STATEĀ® PEAK PERFORMANCE CONVENTIONAL > MOTOR OIL-ALL GRADES ... > This product is relatively non-toxic by ingestion. your friend in enjoying crazy friends, but keeping the motor oil in the oil pan, arthur

TK: I'd like to get some paper cups made. I was thinking of getting 1000 made, and then offering them at cost to board members who wanted them. I'm pretty happy with the job I did on vinyl for the whip machine, but the format doesn't match that for the cups. I see that your format for the shirts matches that for the cups. Can you send me your photoshop images so I can make them on cups (and I won't use them for anything else). Or are you interested in getting some cups made, and I can buy some from you? If I can talk you into getting the cups made, I'd be most eager to get them from you, but if you're not too interested in the cup business, I'd be happy to make them available to the board. thanks, your friend in acceptably accurate orange whip machines, but very accurate cups, arthur

I still haven't been able to find a cup printer that will print the image on the entire surface of the cup.
They've all had limits that keep the image in the center of the cup, meaning you need to shrink the image to the point where it is too small, or cut the image and keep only the center portion.
Neither of which would be acceptable.
If you know of a place that will print on the entire surface please let me know and the project can easily move forward.

I've only written to a few of them because, in most cases, I get blocked by what is listed under the "Print Size" info, on each of their websites. Nearly all of them show a print size of around 2-3 inches square, and once I discover that, I've moved on to the next.... only to discover that it too has roughly the same size listed as their limitation.

I did some research about the cup printing thing and I think that the problem here is that the cup maker's machines can't print bigger areas on a "built" cup. When I added "offset" or "flexo" to the search I found full scale printed cups immediatelly, but minimums got to 10000(from 0,2 to 0,3$ each).
I guess they won't start this kind of machine for only 1000 cups
Here's a flexo printing machine with die cutting
And "hand made cups"

I did a bit of searching, and the only place I found that would do full-imprint printing in low-quantity orders was this place: > Dimensions: 8.3 in. W X 3.3 in. H > Imprint Area: 8.3 in. W X 3.3 in. H > Decoration Method: 4 Color Process $0.95 each for 250. www.branders.com/product/promotional_items_12oz_Hot_Paper_Cup?prdid=100022$0.95 each for 250 sounds like it's getting into the land of possibilities (as compared to $0.30 each for 10,000).

Man, that looks the perfect setup! TK, what do you think about the size/print area? This is a pic from SD's second link above.

It looks pretty good.
The branders.com site also looks like a strong possibility.
