Best Answer

There is an artificial sweetener used in sugarless gum called sorbitol. With a bit of deductive reasoning one can assume the brand name "orbit" was derived from this.

After the war had ended and the three established brands returned to the market in 1946, Orbit was discontinued.1976Orbit made its return 30 years later in 1976, when it was introduced in Germany, Switzerland and Holland.
