Does anyone remember a brand of soft drink called 'Corona' ?
Produced by Thomas & Evan's Ltd. in South Wales & distributed across the UK. Was very popular in the '70s.
TV cartoon ad was ' Every bubble's passed its FIZZical ! '
Keep safe & keep well, Chris

I remember the corona pop from years ago in glass bottles when you took the bottle back to the shop and got 10p!
Yes, I remember it too...... and an Australian beer is called Corona!
Yes I do, and I remember taking the empty bottles back
Ours was delivered by 'The Pop Man' who picked up the empties and took them away.
Thank you.
😃 I do love a bit of nostalgia. It was a big treat to have a bottle of dandelion and burdock delivered to us.
Yes I remember the Corona bottle's of pop. xx
Absolutely we lived in a very remote village and used to look forward every Saturday to the Corona lorry coming with his crates of sparkling bottles😁if Mum was well off we'd get 2 bottles otherwise it would only be 1 to last the week! Good memories xx
Yes I do, it was delivered but my parents wouldn't have it! We also had a breadman, a milkman, an egg lady and a mobile greengrocer.
Yes, we had those as well as a fresh fish van (on a Friday) & a butcher's van. It was helpful to all the ladies because we lived on a brand new estate so there were no shops for quite a while. Brings back lots of pleasant childhood memories
I certainly do, we used to have a wagon come round the street called, wait for it, The Corona Man 😀 Everyone used to wait for him to come just like the ice cream man. It was great stuff.
Popular in the 50s too! Such fond memories of childhood. Do you know who took the company over?

Sold to Beecham group in 1958 & subsequently sold to Britvic , but stopped trading as a brand in the late 1990s. (Wikipedia)
Thanks for checking it out. We all seem to enjoy revisiting our memories.
😀
Yes ..I remember the lemonade and ice cream soda mixed with ice cream to make an ice cream soda. And coming from London searching be for empty glass bottles to get the money back x
I vividly remember the 'Corona man'. Apart from the odd glass of fizzy lemonade, this was the first time we had choice of flavours. I especially remember the bottles with their ceramic stoppers, held on by a metal catch attached to the neck of the bottle, which kept the contents in and air out. Mum and I would make our selection each week and give back the empties, ready washed. (I actually think we could relearn this and stop all the wastefulness of materials'. 😊
We had the "popman" turn up once a week in his lorry, Took him the empty bottles to take back. Lots of flavours.
Yes happy days Ilovebunnies. They used to have the vans that came around the estates doing deliveries too. If you wanted sweets you took an empty bottle to the local shop to get an old 5p for some sweets. Enjoy the weekend. Brian
I remember the Corona man coming round every Thursday afternoon. My mum used to go out to him every week and get "Two orange, a lemon and a red please." I remember it as being 10d in old money for a bottle. The family next door to us used to have bottles of Tango at a shilling a bottle because they said they were better.
yes i do remember.taking the bottles back as well.how times have changed.it was better in those years,glad i am not growing up today

I have occasionally suffered from anxiety but very bad at present. Can it cause pain in your back?
