Not content with second-hand misery, however, we decided to initiate countdown, prepare for some major G-forces, and get ready to Orbitz around deliciousness-- and with any luck, never land!!!

Clearly Canadian blames you, the consumer. As Jonathan Cronin, marketing director for Clearly Canadian, said, "People aren't sure whether to eat it, drink it, or spit out the balls." We believe that the explanation may lie deeper than people's distrust of a beverage which contains "balls". We have vague memories of its brief heyday, during which friends reported that "it isn't that good" and "it's kinda nasty." Maybe that's why Orbitz.com is now the proud home of a flight search engine.

Even though we had picked Orbitz as a sure-fire extinct beverage two years ago, it's kind of surprising it went under so quickly. (Surprising, that is, if you leave aside the actual quality of the drink.) After all, Orbitz is such a unique drink, from its unique crumbiness to its unique interspersing-capital-letters-in-the-names-of-its-flavors. How could such a cRazY drink fail? You know, with Generation X and all?
