Re: Alpine and Corona Soft Drinks

Look at the difference in the CORONA bottles though! In the TV Ad they are slender necked and later they were bigger as in the picture one of our forum members have posted!

Here we go 70's version

Round our way we had Silver Spring vans which used to deliver 'Spring Up' which was lemonade, and 'Rola Cola'.

Re: Alpine and Corona Soft Drinks

As I tend to not drink alcohol my tipple of choice has always been fizzy drinks.
I even order stuff from other countries to get my fizzy fix.
However, as far as I am concerned there has never been anything as good as Corona's Limeade and Cherryade.
Earlier in the thread in was mentioned that Corona was discontinued in the early 80s, this is not the case.
Corona was still available in my area up until around 1994, the iconic glass bottles had long been replaced with standard plastic.
The brand was last owned by Pepsi I think, I'm gonna send a message their way to find out the exact details.
Suffice to say, I could really do with a bottle right now.

I don't remember seeing Corona much after 1985-6, but the stickers could be seen on shop & cafe windows for a few years later.
