Orangina

I love Orangina

Orangina was developed in 1933 by Spanish chemist Augustin Trigo[5] from Valencia as Naranjina. It was presented at the 1935 Marseille Trade Fair. The drink was created from a mix of citrus juice, sugar, and carbonated water.[6] It was later called TriNaranjus (now, TriNa) for the Spanish market.

French businessman Léon Beton bought the concept and recipe for Naranjina in 1935.[6] However, the outbreak of major conflicts, notably World War II, largely sidelined Léon Beton's attempts to market his drink in Europe.[7]

His son, Jean-Claude Beton, took over the company from his father in 1947.[6][7] Jean-Claude Beton kept most of the original recipe, which he marketed to appeal to European and North African consumers.[6] Orangina quickly became a common beverage throughout North Africa.[7] In 1951, Jean-Claude Beton introduced Orangina's signature 8-ounce bottle, which became a symbol of the brand.[6] The bottle recalls the rounded shape of an orange, with a glass texture designed to mimic the fruit.[6]

Production was moved to Marseille in metropolitan France in 1962 in the run-up to Algeria's independence.[6] Orangina was first launched in the United States in 1978 under the brand name Orelia, which was later reverted to Orangina.[6] The company, created by Beton, joined the Pernod Ricard group in 1984.

In 2000, the Orangina brand was acquired by Cadbury Schweppes along with Pernod Ricard's other soda businesses, after an attempt to sell to Coca-Cola was blocked on anti competitive grounds.[8] In 2006, Cadbury plc decided to concentrate on the chocolate business and sought buyers for its soda business. As the number three soda producer globally, neither of the bigger two (Coca-Cola or PepsiCo) could buy it, so eventually the company was split up to sell.
