Orangina is coming back to the UK, but the redesign is hugely controversial
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Orangina, until now exiled to semi-questionable, possibly overly-touristy restaurants in foreign beach towns, is coming back to the UK in a big way.
Made in France, the orange, lemon, mandarin and grapefruit drink has been around since 1936 but all but disappeared over the last decade or so in the UK.
From mid-June however, you'll be able to buy it in Waitrose, Sainsbury's, WHSmith Travel, Superdrug and other outlets.
The bad news:
It won't be in that nice bobbly glass bottle.
Orangina has re-vamped the bottle into a 420ml number that "retains elements of its nostalgic design…and famous bulby-shaped bottom", but is made from plastic.
The good news:
The original glass bottle (in 250ml) will be available in cafes and restaurants nationwide.
Which is great because I'm pretty sure its refreshing nature is 85% down to that nice, cool glass.
