I am a cricket fan as well and I too have only a vague idea
about what
a Brit is.
I do not drive a car, so at first the Kia name went over my
head as
well. My first thought were indeed of Kia Ora, the cinema drink.

Cinema drink? What? All i know about it is that it's too orangey
for crows. I mentally conflate it with Capri Sun, which was
different, and came in foil packets like spacemen doubtless have.

My recollection of Kia Or from my visits to the pictures many, many
years ago was that it was in a semi-opaque plastic rectangular
container with an orange top that you poked a plastic straw
through. Kia-Or, and the choc ices formed the bulk of the contents
of the usherettes tray at the interval between the B and A movies,
although I think they also had fags in the evening shows. I seem to
remember they also advertised Kia-Or and the choc ices on the
screen as well, together with the "local curry house" (when the Taj
Mahal etc. was still a rareity) advert.

I haven't been to the pictures for a very long while now, so I
don't know if they still sell Kia Or there.

I've just Googled and found the advert:
