StephenFord 866 Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Yes, I remember the concentrated orange juice - little medicine bottle with a bright blue cap. The cod liver oil came in the same shaped bottle but with a navy blue cap. With regard to Kia Ora orange drink, in the early to mid 50s it came in a waxed cardboard carton with a perforated hole in the top that you pushed out with your thumb (huge scope to splash the stuff all over the place, and mainly down your clothes!) It was not only sold in cinemas, but also at railway stations - often from barrows perambulating along the platform. I remember coming home from holiday in Weymouth about 1955 - scorching hot Saturday afternoon, parched throat and nothing to drink. Promised a carton of Kia Ora when we changed trains at Bristol. When we got there a porter asked us where we were for, and promptly hustled us through the subway on to a Derby train just about to leave. Do you remember the picture of "Desperation" crying his eyes out on Five Boys chocolate? - well that was me! Eventual relief at Gloucester from a platform barrow. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
