Being a little bitter about my loss on the Crystal Pepsi bidding war, I decided to try to obtain bottle of Orbitz. Orbitz was around about 10 years ago, and was popular because of the little balls that floated inside of the liquid. I currently have a $6.00 bid out. This isn’t close to my heart like Crystal Pepsi, but it will hold me over until a bottle can be mine.
Does anyone remember this stuff? How aggressive should I be? Remember, I am a non-profit blogger, and am currently living in poverty.
Oh, and the bottle is 10 years old.

I think I am going to use a little bit of strategy on this one. This morning I was outbid by $.50 by someone who doesn’t have people counting on him to win the auction, and probably doesn’t even know what Orbitz is. Instead of starting a war, I am going to use a sneak attack. I will begin my aggressive bidding with a few hours remaining in the auction, and the Orbitz will be mine.
Can’t win with ‘em. Won’t win with ‘em.

So I moved in for the kill and blew away the competition with a $10.00 bid. This bottle will be mine in ten hours, and man am I excited.

You gotta find some Rondo, or OK Cola….but I support orbitz. Mostly because it would be sick to watch (and by sick I mean cool, and also pretty gross).
Um dont you remember how nasty this drink was? those little balls going down your throat made me wanna vom. Choose something else… and something older ha ha
ORBITZ! YESSIR – It was like drinking really crappy bubble tea.
