Coke Light Sango
On my latest trip to South Africa I flew through Paris where I discovered the best variation on Diet Coke (Coca-Cola Light in most other countries) I've ever had - Coke Light Sango. It's Coke with blood orange flavor (sango as in sang, the French word for blood) and much better than the Diet Coke with Lemon or Lime we have here in the States. A little bit of Googling revealed the Wikipedia page for the drink which states that Sango was the first variation on Coke developed outside of the company's Atlanta headquarters, in Belgium, the country with the largest Coke Light/Diet Coke consumption per capita. If a half-liter bottle didn't cost me €3.80, I would have brought some back with me. For now all I can do is hope that Coca-Cola decides to bring this over to the states.

Me too! I discovered Coke Light Sango last summer while I was living in Belgium! It's great! I knew I couldn't get it back in the states, so I consumed a LOT while I was there.
What can be done to get this flavor here in the US? I mentioned it to a lady who was working a tasting area for Coke at Costco recently. All she said was, "Hmmm…"
