Orangina

I have been a great fan of Orangina ever since I was knee high. My parents were always insistent that I stay away from soft drinks or at least limit them because they didn't trust the contents. I dismissed their fears at the time but since I have read into this in more detail, they could well have a point. So what initially drew me into this soft drink was the fact it contains no added sweeteners, additives or colourings. As some of you might be aware already the use of aspartame in drinks has courted a lot of controversy although I will spare you the gorey details of how it is created but suffice to say it is not pleasant. Therefore whether substantive or ...  Read the complete review

Always with an eye out for a deal I spied Orangina being sold at £1.50 for two 2 litre bottles in my local Somerfield. Now being partial to a bit of fizzy orange I thought to myself that'll do nicely. I used to love Orangina as a kid and remember the ads singing out "Shake the bottle to wake the drink" which has now been shortened to "Shake it to Wake it". On the bottle it states that "Orangina brings you a taste of the mediterranean through its natural and authentic taste with real orange pieces" - and I'm always up for that kind of escapism! Aside from the price and the memories I was also pleased to note on the ...  Read the complete review

My name is Melanie and I'm a pop-o-holic. I love the stuff and in general I'm a bit of a guzzler. I drink loads whether it be tea, pop or juice. I live at home and my mum goes mad I drink everything within sight lol I drink more than I eat and at the moment in between typing and trying to watch some Prison Break (yep women can multi task eh!) I'm drinking Orangina I bought from my local Nisa shop earlier on this evening. I'm familiar of course with Orangina though I always think it's funny that before I wrote reviews I never took much notice of things really. I took for granted I liked stuff or I didn't and never really questioned it. Now I know alot more ...  Read the complete review

I remember when I first tried Orangina I was only about 10 and the container that it came in was not plastic like today it was shaped more like a Genie`s Bottle and i thought that when I first opened the bottle I would get granted three wishes but it was not to be from this fizzy drink just a drink what a shame! I wanted to try something different from the normal Cokes and Lemonades and when I went to the local shop and saw this fizzy drink I was intrigued as to what it was and so gleefully handed over my money and took a swig of this orange colored drink. I was so very surprised to find out how sweet it was but this was down to the fact that it is ...  Read the complete review

When I was 12 I went to France on a school trip (this is in the very early 1980s), long before Orangina had made its way to our shores. At that time, Orangina formed a regular part of our French lessons at school, so the ability to ask for the real thing in Normandy was fab! Je voudrais un Orangina s'il vous plait! As a result, 30 English kids, aged 11 and 12 spent a whole week bouncing off the walls....... I have rarely tasted Orangina since, but it is available in 500ml "individual" bottles, and 2 litre bottles, from most big supermarkets, and occasional newsagents. Yesterday I was parched. It was hot, and I wanted ...  Read the complete review
