Orange pulp, a small bulbous bottle, and a vivid logo with an orange swirl. All these and the name itself, Orangina, are indicative of the fruit, sunshine, color and the Mediterranean origins behind this unique French soft drink.

Supported by a great advertising story and continuous innovation since its birth in 1936 in Boufarik, Algeria, Orangina has become one of the most recognizable soft drinks on the market, with a strong following in the United States and abroad.

In 1936, at the Marseilles fair, Doctor Trigo, a Spanish pharmacist, introduced Naranjina, a sparkling, natural juice drink based on orange juice and pulp. Leon Beton was intrigued and had the idea to use his orange trees in Boufarik to produce this new beverage. Renamed Orangina, the little round bottle quickly became a familiar sight all over Algeria.
