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.[citation needed]
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]
