## Nick's intro

“*It’s a small world after all*”: this dark-ride earworm refrain is so widely-known, even people who’ve never set foot in a Disney Park are familiar with its infectious lyrical loop. And while today, you can experience the song and its accompanying aging animatronic children at Disneyland or one of its sister properties, It’s A Small World actually debuted at the 1964 World’s Fair in Queens, New York.

Held during the height of the Space Race and themed as 'Man's Achievement on a Shrinking Globe in an Expanding Universe,' the now retro-futurist, but then just futurist, exhibition included models of domed cities on distant planets, the first video phones, an IBM-created search-engine prototype, and of course, that future staple, jet packs. And as tourists marveled at Sinclair Oil’s Dino Land and waited in line to ride the US Royal Tires Ferris Wheel, they sipped the official beverage of the 1964 World’s Fair: a sickly sweet dairy/citrus concoction invented a half-century earlier over on the opposite coast.

In 1926, Julius Freed opened an orange-juice stand in the heart of downtown Los Angeles. But the stand didn’t find its hook for several years, when his colleague Bill Hamlin pitched mixing OJ with milk and ice to lower its acidity and aid digestion. The novelty of Hamlin’s drink — which Freed then named for himself — made the new OJ stand an Angel City hotspot, and in time, a staple of mall food courts. In 1987, the chain was bought and streamlined by sweet-treat rival Dairy Queen, which in turn was later acquired by quote-unquote “good” billionaire, Warren Buffett.

And that points to one future reality not showcased at the 1964 World’s Fair: the concentration of wealth in a tiny handful of billionaires, bloating their bank accounts by collecting rent on businesses whose success they had no hand in shaping. It’s a small world, after all.

This week on *Doughboys*… Orange Julius.
