Shit, I must have been in elementary when that came out. They were at Mac's for like 2$ a bottle 13 years ago.

They didn't sell very well, not to mention they tasted like crap.

I loved the Orbitz...it was like a very early version of the NEW hottness the Bubble Tea if you alll think about it...

Some of the flavours were meh...but a few were really cool...unfortunaely not a lot of people thought the way that I do...and slaes dropped causing the product line to be pulled...

I thought they were awesome too!

It's funny cause people will say how they hated the little gelatin things in them and then they'll go order a bubble tea. People are such bandwagon jumpers!

I remember all the hype like it was something special. Then I saved up my measly allowance and bought one, I was dissapointed but it was a cool concept.


Where the hell is Tahiti treat??

Tahiti Treat was taken off the market here in Western Canada...although I have no idea why...BUT is still available out east...I remeber being in a Boston Pizza in Ontario and being able to order it...

BUT...CPlus has a new drink out...that is the cloest thing to Tahiti Treat I have ever tasted since its departure...Forget the name...but if you walk into the store...you can't miss it...it looks exactly like the classic Tahiti Treat...

Orbitz were :barf:

little beads of glop in a syrupy drink that tasted horrible - seriously, I don't think they did any test maketing because I can't think of anyone actually liking most of the flavours they had :thumbsdow

Plus it was way overpriced :dunno:


Good riddance :whipped:

the memories, the memories. That was an awesome flavor.


I remember eating those at Lloyds rollerskate park when I was 10. They had a promotion where there was a card in the pack and you could win rollerblades.


Anyone remember O'briens? They had a kickass flavor called sour cream and something, help me out here guys!

Uuuuugggghh! ... :barf: I remember orbitz... First time I had those, I think I had orange, and I threw up... don't know what it was, but made me soooo sick... but that was back in like grade 4 or something lol.

But my tastes have changed and i kinda sorta like the things in bubble tea.

And I remember those Old dutch chips... sooooo good!:drool:

For some reason after reading the first few posts about Orbitz and snacks that were great back in grade school, I immediately thought of those chips too. I don't think it was O'Briens though, it was O'Ryans I'm pretty sure. And I only ever saw the Sour Cream chips, if they did make Bacon ones too, those were definitely the only two types they ever made! Maybe that's why the were so good, when that's the only flavour you make you have lots of time to perfect it!

I hear they still sell them in New Zealand though, so there not completely gone.
