Orangina
Orangina (French pronunciation: [ɔʁɑ̃ʒina]) is a carbonated citrus beverage made from orange, lemon, mandarin, and grapefruit juices and containing orange pulp. The concept of Orangina originated at a trade fair in France and was first marketed in French Algeria by Léon Beton. It is a popular beverage in Europe and to a much lesser extent in North America.
Since November 2009, Orangina has been owned by Suntory in most of the world. In the USA, the brand has been owned by the Dr Pepper Snapple Group since 2006. In Canada, the brand is owned by Canada Dry Motts Inc.
History
Orangina started as Naranjina, presented at the 1935 Marseille Trade Fair by its Spanish inventor, chemist Dr. Trigo, from Valencia, who invented it in 1933. The drink was created from a mix of citrus juice, sugar, and carbonated water. It was later called TriNaranjus (now, TriNa) for the Spanish market.
Léon Beton bought the concept and recipe for Naranjina in 1935. However, the outbreak of major conflicts, notably World War II, largely sidelined Léon Beton's attempts to market his drink in Europe.

We Are One
by: JaneI've been to many places
I keep seeing the same old faces
Don't know how much is true
Cos I lose myself when I think of
I walked around the edge
And I grew some roots in the talking heads
The words they say ring true
But I lose myself when I think of
We Are One (repeat)
Surrender to the power
That makes every moment lead to now
I guess that I've been through
A few illusions to get to
We Are One (repeat)
Where I am
I grow weary of the storm that leads me to
Wherever I think I am
Whenever I find
A different point of view
Grains of sand may throw me
Voices in the distance call my name
Memories beckon me
Back to where I once became
We Are One (repeat)
