"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 wondering if the Corona man ever delivered by horse and buggy? And wasn't there a shandy flavour as well?

I can remember we used to get pop each week from the "Pop man" My older brother used to buy loads of the stuff.

I was a Corona man in the late 1950s, working out of the Stratford-upon-Avon depot. We used to spend week days in the Cotswolds and Saturdays in leamington Spa. What a wonderful life it was - I have lots of happy memories and we used to have so many laughs, including the day I dropped a bottle of vinegar on a lady's door step and stank her house out ! Life was so much simpler in those days.

I don't know how accurate this is, but my family folk lore suggests that my grandmother was the person who named "Corona", when she won a competition run by Thomas & Evans to name their new brand of lemonade. If anybody can add any evidence to this I will be grateful.

For the complete Thomas & Evans / Corona story try to get hold of 'William Evans 1864-1934' (ISBN 09508184020
1897 - William Evans started experimenting with soft drink receipes. Welsh Hills Mineral Waters were on sale soon after. In the early 1920's the name changed to Corona.

I can remember Corona as long ago as the early 1950's. There was a dept near where I lived in Wolverhampton. Does anyone know when Corona started?
