"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.

My dad did his work experience at Corona Soft Drinks in Lewes, East Sussex. with his best mate back in 1976. Unfortunately this was the week that my dad's best mate patrick was killed in a tragic accident.

Hi. I was just doing a bit of family tree when remembered a lad that used to help me on my milk round in 1976 in lewes and ringmer. I thought his surname was Collins. I moved away in 77.but I heard that he’d gone to work at corona and was sadly killed by a lorry in the yard. Is this the same lad? Thanks. Rick.

I am an OAP and I remember the Corona 'Lorry', it was like a dray, with the word CORONA in large letters coming round when I was a little girl in the late 1940-50's. I also remember getting a Corona Brooch which you got when you ordered a certain amount. My memories are of the Cherryade and Limeade but we also had the orangeade. The Corona delivery man came once a week and I have never tasted any soft drink that comes anywhere near the Corona flavoured drinks. I lived in North Wiltshire and the Corona Soft Drinks was part of my beautiful childhood.

I'm looking for a man who used to drive for corona pop back in the 60's, his name was Terry and he delivered around North Hill/Mayhill/Mount Pleasant area in Swansea. He now must be in his 70's, would like to get in contact if possible. If anyone has any recollection of this person I would be very greatful.

I loved that too, i remember sitting by the coal fire and mum would pour a shot glass of it for all of us and we would sip it and it really warmed your throat as you drunk it. I really miss it and hope there is someone out there that can answer your question.

I used to buy corona soft drinks. I absolutely loved the lime aid and cherry aid. It would be great if they still did them

Hi I realise this was posted a long time ago but I knew your dad was his name Ron ? He used to live almost opposite the depot but used to enjoy his sleep so I used to go and knock on his door to wake him up He once won a holiday to Cornwall for selling the most pickling vinegar good memories

I loved Corona - my Gran always had stacks of the stuff. First thing she'd do when my parents weren't looking was stand in her pantry and swig straight out of the bottle. I can still remember the thrill of holding the cool bottles by their bobbly necks and gulping for all my worth. Dad always rumbled me, as he said I had a dose of "pop eyes" - all red and runny from the gas.
It's all Nintendos and crack cocaine with the kids these days. Shame. ;o)

I used to get 10p at the off licence for every Corona bottle returned. 10p went a long way back then so i could fill my little fat face with sweets quite well.
