Alpine and Corona Soft Drinks

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.

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

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!

We had an Alpine pop van and also a one called Gray's. I prefered Gray's as a kid but always liked Alpine Pineappleade!!!!

Re: Alpine and Corona Soft Drinks

We had the Alpine pop lorry and another one - a local firm I think called Sykes'. Our pop always came from the shops, though and this was always from the Morpeth-based company 'Waters and Robson'. It still came in the glass bottles with the 10p return.
