help Orangina FAQ
Why are you supposed to shake Orangina?
Orangina contains real citrus pulp, which naturally settles while the bottle stands. A gentle shake redistributes that pulp before the drink is opened.
Was Orangina created in France or Algeria?
The drink's history began in Algeria in the 1930s, before the brand became closely associated with France. Jean-Claude Beton later developed and marketed Orangina from French Algeria and expanded it internationally.
What fruit flavors are in original Orangina?
The original drink combines orange with other citrus notes, commonly including lemon, mandarin, and grapefruit. Its pulp and light carbonation give it a different texture from clear orange sodas such as Fanta.
Why does Orangina come in a round, textured bottle?
The bulb-shaped bottle was designed to evoke an orange, with a dimpled surface resembling citrus peel. It became one of the brand's most recognizable features and also leaves room for the pulp to move when shaken.
