Orbitz (soft drink)
Orbitz was the product name of a noncarbonated fruit-flavored beverage, made by the company Clearly Canadian Beverage Corporation (makers of Clearly Canadian), that had small edible balls floating in it. It was introduced around 1997 and quickly disappeared because of bad sales. The small balls floated because they had the same density as the liquid. Orbitz came in five flavors: Black Currant BerryVanilla OrangeRaspberry CitrusPineapple Banana Cherry CoconutBlueberry Melon Strawberry The website for Orbitz existed for a while, but was taken over by the Internet travel agency of the same name (see Orbitz). Orbitz was universally disliked during its short stay on the market, due to its "bad taste", as many have put it. One website gave Orbitz an average of 1 of 5 stars [1].
