Does anyone remember Orbitz? It was a clear fruit drink that had these little balls floating around in there...it was GOOD!!! In junior high, this was the trendy accessory; if you were seen walking around with a bottle of Orbitz, you were considered cool ;)

I MISS THIS DRINK!!! Is it still available in Canada, or is it gone forever?

Does anyone remember? If so, what are your thoughts?

    I'm afraid it's gone for good(at least I haven't seen it since the late '90s). I personally thought it was disgusting, but maybe that's an acquired taste. I had to try one because MuchMusic did a concentrated blitz of promotion for like a year. It seemed like it was impossible to find, too. Which made you even hipper if you had one. Thay anticipated the Bubble tea fad by almost a decade though, I'll give'em that.

        What were the balls made out of?

          I actually remember vomiting up the balls, shortly after I drank it! :lol:

          I never got so sick after drinking a soda in my life, but I'm an idiot so I'll try it again if I ever see it. :wink:

            Slimey, gelatinous, almost liquid, but not quite goo.

              I totally remember that. Then the drink seemed to vanish off the face of the earth right afterwards.

                  Orbitz was nasty. I guess it did look sorta cool, but it tasted like ass...

                        I enjoyed that drink. It was good and funny. I even remember when I last drank one.

                            Hurray! Someone else out there liked it!:) For a minute there I started to feel like a loner :roll:

                            Orbitz is gone forever :( Maybe I'll buy a bottle on eBay and keep it around, who knows, it could increase in value. One seller is starting his bid at $5.

                                i remember that stuff, although i never actualy tried it because i kept hearing it was disgusting, and as i recall, it was a bit pricey because it was the "it" thing... i should have tried it though, because what most people hate i like... my friend had one on his mantle... it reminds me of a lava lamp...
