According to the label, the suspended colored balls in the trendy soft drink Orbit are made from gellan gum and xanthan gum.
This gives them their floating ability, which leads to the name Orbit and the slogan “Defy Gravity!”
The colored spheres seem to defy gravity because they contain microscopic, stringlike particles that help keep them suspended in the container.
If you let it sit for a few days, the balls or spheres will eventually settle to the bottom.
