Orangina

[www.doyouremember.co.uk]

Orangina is an orange soda manufactured by 'Schweppes' with real orange pieces in it. It was sold in a bottle that is pear shaped - fat at the bottom and curving to thin at the top. It was very fizzy and orangy - obviously. Amazing Orangina fact coming up: Orangina started life as Naranjina, by its Spanish inventor, chemist Dr. Trigo,from Valencia, who invented it in 1933!

Agree that it's not quite the same. It had a really distinctive taste in the 80's, unlike any other orange drink, now I can't drink the stuff.

Yes it's sold in various supermarkets, but in large 2ltr (i think) plastic bottles - and not the small glass bottles I remember they used to be in. :0(

Re: Orangina

I've not had it for years, but I remember the little glass bottles that you had to 'shake to wake the drink' i.e. swirl all the bits off the bottom. It was very nice. Very light and tangy. I suppose these days it has next to no real orange in it.
