Mmm... Lumpy Soda...

Who remembers Orbitz? No, not the travel site that pops up 85,693 ads on your computer every day   I mean, the freakish soda-with-lumps of the early 90's. RetroCRUSH ("The world's finest website" according to their <title> tag) has an amusing review of it. I made the mistake of having soda (not Orbitz) in my mouth as I scrolled down and spotted the "Orbitz Martini". I came very close to having an unfortunate carbonated beverage situation of my own.

The article points to some reviews of the five different Orbitz flavors over at BEVNET. Here are some excerpts:

Blueberry Melon Strawberry: "a completely unpalatable beverage"
Pineapple Banana Cherry Coconut: "We would never drink this beverage again"
Raspberry Citrus: "This beverage makes us sick"
Vanilla Orange: "Stay away from this beverage"
Black Currant Berry: "almost impossible to enjoy"

Aha! The last one was only ALMOST impossible to enjoy! I believe we have a winner!
