Corona soft drinks

This Memory is looking a little short on nostalgia! Have you got anything you could add?

"Every bubble's passed its FIZZical!" yelped the Ernie Bilko-voiced Head Bubble in the cartoon ads for this knobbly-bottled orangeade. Very popular in the '70s. The idea of devouring an entire army of bubbles and then belching out their remains appealed to the juvenile mind.

    I was a Corona man back in the 70's, from 1974 to 1977 I think it was. I initially worked out of Brentford doing door to door around Hayes, Harlington area. I was an Aussie doing the working holiday thing at the time. When that operation closed and was taken over by the local milkman I moved to delivering to the shops. We were situated in White Hart Lane. Allan Smith

    Hi I lived in S Wales when I was a child. I remember Corona's Dandelion and Burdock...it was brilliant. We used to get Corona pop bottles delivered with the weekly shopping. I loved Limeade too.....

    In 1973 I was a drivers mate for corona at Launceston cornwall, I was 16 , we used to deliver all over the north cornwall coast. we used to drive halfway over the beach at polzeath. the beach shop in summer would have about 100 crates of pop, which I had to carry in the heat of the sun, 2 crates at a time across the beach, 12 bottles in a crate , the driver was a lazy bugger, when , I had finished, he would do the paper work& have another fag.I only worked for the company for 13 weeks.
