Corona

Does anyone know if Corona is still going? Was chatting at tea and Paul said he'd applied for a job when he was about 12 helping the Corona man deliver his bottles of pop in the Corona van. I'd forgotten all about that! I can't remember if they would daily or weekly come round the street selling their array of different flavoured pops in glass bottles, but I remember my nan always used to buy them.........then you could return the empty bottles and get money back for doing so.
It's something you don't see nowadays, so did Corona go out of business? Was it something that was just in our town?

I can remember too, collecting Coke bottles and taking back a pushchair full to the local pub up our street, and getting paid quite a tidy amount, for a kid lol........

We had a Maine lemonade man ...sounds like the same thing, it's still going i used to get it delivered every wed till i came here tho it was 45p a bottle. I love the american cream soda they made as well n the cloudy lime was great to get rid of the thirt i'd get after a night out!

I've seen a lemonade lorry delivering to houses when i've been about here but there's no name on the lorry.
