Just today I was prodded back to the 1960s while going through ancient paperwork and general grot. I even found a half dozen bottles (empty ).

A staple of childhood - I do wonder what was in those 'flavourings' and 'colourings' :-)

Pat,
I liked that too.
I'm old enough to remember when Corona bottles had the wired tops.We didn't have regular deliveries, but my grandmother in Wales always had a plentiful supply of 'pop for the children'.

A really special treat was a small amount of vanilla ice cream in a glass, topped up with American Cream Soda.

I have vague memories of being in a Corona club and being sent a card for my birthday.
We could wear our yellow and blue badge to show membership.

Does anyone else recall this?
