AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This smart card telephone card, known as a "télécarte," features an Orangina advertising campaign. On the visible side, the background is a deep blue, contrasting with the central visual: a famous Orangina bottle adorned with a yellow polka-dot scarf, personified with cutlery as arms and accessories. Above, the advertising slogan "On se fait une petite bouffe ?" (Fancy a bite to eat?) is clearly legible. The inscription "ORANGINA SECOUE LA TABLE" (ORANGINA SHAKES THE TABLE) appears at the bottom, accompanied by the Orangina logo on the right, topped with the mention "à la pulpe d’orange" (with orange pulp).

In the upper right corner, the card indicates a capacity of "50 unités" (50 units), typical of French phone cards from the 1990s. The presence of the golden electronic chip on the left confirms the authenticity of the format. The card is placed on a bright yellow background, reminiscent of Orangina's emblematic color.

The overall graphic design, slogan, and advertising staging are characteristic of late 20th-century French advertising style, identifiable by both its quirky tone and colorful palette. No information about the back or edges is visible in this image.

The advertising design, with the anthropomorphized bottle and the graphic play around the table and meal, testifies to the creative spirit of Orangina campaigns from that period. The mention "Télécarte 50" is printed vertically on the right, typical of 90s cards.

This phone card is for anyone looking for a vintage phone card, an Orangina advertising item, or a collectible illustrating pop culture and everyday objects from 1990s France.
