Odwalla got started in the 80's when the founders begins selling their freshly unpasteurized fruit juice from the back of their VW.....In the last 90's they made headlines when a baby drank of their unpasteurized apple juice got E coli and died. They have since adopted flashed pasteurization.....on a side note-when Atlanta based Arden's garden first came out their juices were unpasteurized. Now unfortunately they also pasteurize their juices which alters the taste in my opinion.
I started drinking Odwalla because they are one of the few juice companies that doesn't use banana in some of their fruit juices because I'm allergic to them....I believe almost all of Naked Juice has some kind of banana in them...Arden's Garden has several juices that do not contain bananas but they use ginger instead which upsets my stomach....
Some of my favorite flavors by Odwalla includes
1. Citrus C Monster
2. vanilla Al'mondo Shake
3. Cinnamon Snickerdoodle shake
4. Mocha latte
I heard that their food bars were pretty good but I've not tried them yet.
Here is an interesting tidbit I heard from another Yelper. Apparently the late Steve Jobs and his wife Lauren would give out Odwalla food bars for Halloween to the trick o treaters.....No offense but I rather hold out for the candy....
