Really? You liked those? There was something about sifting little bits of goo between my teeth that really disgusted me :D

I still have empty bottles from each of the 4 flavours in my storage room. ( I choked the Pineapple one down just for the bottle.... it was truly disgusting. )

The Orange Cream one was always good, that and the Raspberry one were the best.

I still got one of those Orbitz bottles on my shelf here. Those red balls are still floating perfectly spaced out still through out the bottle since 97. No way I would drink that sludge now :)

It was a drink that was ahead of its time.

The idea is similar to bubble tea in a can. Ummmmmm bubble tea...

That's one of my empty bottles, probably the most disgusting of all the flavours as well, Pinapple/Banana/Cherry/Coconut. :eek:

hrmmmmm maybe I should sell that full bottle in my parents' fridge on ebay :twisted:

Though it would probably kill someone if they drank it..it's like 8 years old! :confused:

Somebody's probably fool enough to do it. :razz:

If not I'm sure there are collectors. Maybe wait for the 10th anniversary?

Wow, this thread brings back a stray memory. I got a couple bottles of these free when they first came out. They had a stand at the HMV in Square One and were handing out free bottles of them. Can't remember if they were any good though.

bubble tea orginates from taiwan i believe and it was called bo ba or something along those lines and has existed for a long time before orbits

Haha! I remember those things, I thought they were good, you can't actually taste or feel the bubbles in them though.

I saw them at Fiesta Farms near Christie Pits in Toronto. But that was a few months ago, I'll go in next time I pass the place to see if they're still there.
