Plastic oranges floating around

[Danny]

They used to have these machines in cafes for still orange - big clear
circular tank with, for some reason, a few plastic oranges floating .

When they poured out a drink the liquid swirled about and the oranges bobbed up and down and then span in a circle that slowly came to a halt

Why????

Why????

I quite often find myself asking this question after most of your posts Danny.



BTW I think its so the orange juice can be served ice cold, but the balls (oranges)stop the juice from freezing on the surface area

I remember seeing those tanks in cafes (still around but not as common as they used to be), but not with plasic oranges floating inside.

I remember these orange juice machines well. I thought I'd be helpful and put up a picture but after ages Googling images using different words, I couldn't find a single one.
