I’ve noticed this too. I’ve been a manager for various McDonald’s Restaraunts since I was 18 (I’m 38 now). I’ve always wondered why orange drinks are more popular with black customers. I don’t think the reason is a poor vs. non poor issue, or related to class, as there are other drinks that cost about the same and are more healthy to have (apple juice, orange juice, etc). I’m not paying more attention or too close attention to black customers vs. non black customers, as someone else has offered as a reason for this….I probably personally handle 400 to 500 customers per day 5 days per week 52 a year for 20 years…it’s been pretty consistent at all places I’ve worked that this is so. After a few years, you tend to notice trends…who likes what, etc. I wouldn’t be a good manager if I wasn’t aware of my customers now would I? I find it interesting scientifically, but never could ask any of my co-workers who happen to be black because it would be very inappropriate IMO. The closest I ever got to it was asking one of my coworkers why she loved Orange drink so much (she was ALWAYS drinking it). Her response was ‘It makes my mouth and tongue tickle!’ heheh
