(January 2008)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 after repeatedly transmitting Acquired immune deficiency syndrome or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), which is a disease of the human immune system caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
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.[citation needed]

Here is what it REALLY says:
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.
