Coca-Cola Light Sango was a blood-orange flavoured variety of Coca-Cola Light/Diet Coke produced by The Coca-Cola Company. It was distributed in Belgium in 2005 and in France in 2006.[1]
Developed in Belgium, the flavour was the first variety of Coca-Cola to have been developed outside of the company's Atlanta, Georgia, headquarters,[2] primarily due to Belgium's reputation as the world's top consumer of Coke Light products per capita.[3] Coke Sango's production is also due, in part, to the success of previous citrus-flavoured varieties of Coke Light in Europe. Coke Sango's name is based on sang, the French word for blood, in reference to its blood orange flavouring.
Following its release in the test markets, the drink was discontinued by Coca-Cola.[a] In early 2018, when Diet Coke underwent a full relaunch, Coca-Cola released a similar drink for the U.S. and Canada, named "Diet Coke Zesty Blood Orange".[4][5]
