Bibo is a fruit juice-flavored soft drink introduced in 1998 by the Coca-Cola Company,[1] and sold in 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] Club Cool left the park, but as of 2019, the Coca-Cola Store at Disney Springs continues to offer Bibo drinks.[6]
