Bibo is a fruit juice-flavored soft drink introduced in 1998 by the Coca-Cola Company, [1] and sold in Canada, Turkey, South Africa and Mozambique. Bibo was one of a set of regional brands established around the world, including Qoo in Asia, Senzao in Mexico and Kapo in Latin America. [2]
The most popular variety is Bibo Candy Pine-Nut, a mix of pineapple and coconut. [3] Other flavors include Johnny Orange, Paolo Peach, Taka Strawberry, Tiko Lemon, Jay Apple Jr., Jo Grape, Willie Pineapple and DJ Kiwi Mango. Coca-Cola planned to bring Bibo to Eastern Europe, [4] but discontinued the drink in 2004.
In 2007, the World of Coca-Cola museum in Atlanta, Georgia opened a "tasting room" featuring 70 of the company's beverage brands, including Bibo Candy Pine-Nut, as well as the Italian soda Beverly. [5]
In 2013, the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida introduced Bibo at the Club Cool refreshment stand at its Epcot theme park, along with other regional Coca-Cola drinks like Thailand's Fanta Melon Frosty and Zimbabwe's Sparberry. [1] After Club Cool left the park, the Coca-Cola Store at Disney Springs continued to offer Bibo drinks until 2020. [6]
