Orbitz was a non-alcoholic, fruit-flavored beverage product made by the Clearly Canadian Beverage Corporation. It was introduced in 1997 and discontinued in 1998. The drink was notable for its small edible balls that floated in the liquid, giving it a unique appearance and texture.

History

Orbitz was introduced by the Clearly Canadian Beverage Corporation in 1997. The drink was marketed as a "texturally enhanced alternative beverage" but was not well received by consumers and was discontinued in 1998.

Product Description

Orbitz was a clear, non-carbonated drink with small, edible balls floating in it. The balls, made of gellan gum, were suspended in the drink through the use of an ingredient known as Ester gum. The drink came in a variety of fruit flavors, including raspberry citrus, pineapple banana cherry coconut, and blueberry melon strawberry.

Reception

The reception to Orbitz was largely negative. Consumers were put off by the texture of the drink, with many comparing it to drinking a lava lamp. Despite its short lifespan, Orbitz has since gained a cult following and unopened bottles are considered collector's items.
