Введение
Безалкогольный напиток с плавающими съедобными сферами.
Orbitz was a non carbonated fruit flavored beverage produced by The Clearly Food & Beverage Company of Canada, makers of Clearly Canadian. It was introduced in test markets around May 1996, then went to most markets by 1997, and then quickly disappeared due to poor sales. The drink was sold in six flavors, and made with small floating edible balls. Orbitz was marketed as a "texturally enhanced alternative beverage" but some consumers compared it to a portable lava lamp. The small balls floated due to their nearly equal density to the surrounding liquid, and remained suspended with the assistance of gellan gum. The gellan gum provided a support matrix and had a visual clarity approaching that of water, which increased with the addition of sugar. The gellan gum created a very weak yield stress which has been measured to be ~0.04 Pa. The product's domain name was bought by the Internet based travel agency named Orbitz. Unopened bottles from the drink's original launch have become a collector's item, appearing on online auction websites. The Clearly Food & Beverage Company states that the proprietary equipment that made Orbitz broke down and the trademark is no longer owned by the company. Raspberry Citrus

Orbitz был фруктовым напитком без газа, произведенным канадской компанией Clearly Food & Beverage Company, создателями Clearly Canadian. Он был представлен на тестовых рынках примерно в мае 1996 года, а затем распространился на большинство рынков к 1997 году, после чего быстро исчез из-за низких продаж. Напиток выпускался в шести вкусах и содержал маленькие плавающие съедобные шарики. Orbitz позиционировался как "напиток с улучшенной текстурой", но некоторые потребители сравнивали его с портативной лампой-лавой. Шарики оставались во взвешенном состоянии благодаря плотности, почти равной плотности окружающей жидкости, и поддерживались геллановой камедью. Геллановая камедь обеспечивала поддерживающую матрицу и обладала визуальной прозрачностью, близкой к воде, которая увеличивалась с добавлением сахара. Геллановая камедь создавала очень слабое предел текучести, измеренное примерно в 0,04 Па. Доменное имя продукта было приобретено онлайн-агентством по путешествиям Orbitz. Неоткрытые бутылки из оригинальной партии стали коллекционным предметом и появляются на онлайн-аукционах. Компания Clearly Food & Beverage Company заявляет, что уникальное оборудование, использованное для производства Orbitz, вышло из строя, и товарный знак больше не принадлежит компании.
