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 remember the containers being a bit prone to what we might call today
"fatigue cracking". Definitely not as robust as a bottle.

Yes, it didn't take too much jostling to end up with a wet lap :-)

Rather making the point I was about to make that it was Kia-Ora, not
Kia-Or.

I see that I put Or instead of Ora - that's what happens when you just
accept what the spell check says :-)
