How the Soda with Balls (Orbitz) Died in One Year #181

This week, Harley and Big Lynch break down the hit 1991 soda Orbitz, Clearly Canadian's soda with balls: a drink so futuristic it had suspended orbs, a dedicated website, and every flavor except a good one. The boys cover the $155 million company that gambled on science and on balls in a bottle, the 85% sales faceplant, why the whole thing was secretly boba tea arriving a decade early, and the one flavor crime that Harley never forgave. Plus Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie, Marvel selling off Spider-Man while bankrupt, the death of physical games, and peak 1997 nostalgia.
