Alpine and Corona Soft Drinks

[George 1978]

I know that there is alcohol called Corona (lager?) which is still available - are they linked to the Corona soft drinks, I wonder?

My dad was a Corona Pop man,he always told us he started on the horse and carts in south Wales with all chap called Doug from Cwmaman.Dad was from Shrewsbury.Mum was from Cwmaman, they met in Lossiemouth in the RAF.Afrer living in Wales after they got married they eventually moved to Shrewsbury where dad carried on working for Corona.it was the only job he ever hadn't.

So that's why the thread was bumped up - because of the coronavirus!

I am certain that Alpine came from the (Coop) milkman, along with Sunquik orange juice.

Worse than that, it would most probably fail the emission test.

Re: Alpine and Corona Soft Drinks

I remember Corona drinks very well loved them all those different flavours.
When I saw the lorry coming into our road i remember running into house and saying to mum
the Corona mans coming. lol

They couldn’t drive round nowadays with all the bottles on show

They’d get back to base with most of them nicked ..

We used to do the same with a couple of local pubs. One publican got wise and started to mark the bottles so we started to take them else where for the deposit. He thought he was smart but us kids out witted him every time, lol.

Who remembers Tree top orange? and who can forget the orange juice you would buy off the milkman?

I remember the orange juice the milkman would deliver. It came in the same glass pint bottles as the milk, or at least the stuff our milkie sold did. We didn't have it that often, Christmas being one time we would usually order one or two bottles.
