Advantages: Refreshing

Disadvantages: not the same in plastic

This is a fizzy orange drink that tastes more natural than tango and fanta and contains bits of pulp which is why it is recommended to shake it first. It is not as fizzy as similar drinks, which is probably a good job seeing as though you shake it before opening!

It has a nice orangy smell and taste and apparently contains a little lemon juice as well although this is not noticeable to me.

This conjures up memories of summer holidays for me but I remember it being served in a pear shaped mottled glass bottle which are quite rare now, as Orangina is usually found in standard plastic bottles which is a shame as it is just not the same! There's something that just seems more appealing about the old glass bottles, I think because it made it different from other drinks, and it somehow seemed extra refreshing on a hot day when poured from a glass bottle.

Orangina comes in the standard 500ml and 2ltr bottle sizes and is priced at about 80p and £1.30 respectively which is slightly cheaper than Fanta generally.

Despite the plastic, I'd still recommend Orangina as a refreshing drink when served cold, when you want something with a slightly more natural taste than Tango.

Summary: Still a nice alternative
