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 due to poor sales.

The small balls floated due to their nearly equal density to the surrounding liquid, and remained suspended with assistance from an ingredient known as gellan gum. The gellan gum provided a support matrix—something like a microscopic spider web--and had a visual clarity approaching that of water, which increased with the addition of sugar.

The website for Orbitz existed for a while, but was taken over by the Internet travel agency of the same name (see Orbitz).

Unopened bottles of the beverage have become somewhat of a collector's item in recent years.

" I hate Orbitz. I saw a new Orbitz commercial the other day that reminded me of how much Orbitz blows. The new commercial features a chorus of blue, zombie-like assholes singing along with an announcer who talks about how supposedly low the airfare is on Orbitz. A woman in the commercial considers going to Orlando, and the chorus pipes in "DON'T THINK TWICE!" Then, she decisively says "I'm going to Orlando!" At one point in the commercial, a character says "but who will feed my fish?" Suddenly the chorus booms in "DON'T THINK!" "
