CORONA

Post by tictalk »

I've had Corona for 20 years now. The Latin meaning for Corona is crown. Notice there is a crown in the art glass.

I have seen a few of these and they really are a knock out. Especially with the stained glass elements which not all of them have. It's not a virus, it's a work of art. :lol:

38% of Americans say they wouldn’t buy Corona beer “under any circumstances.” Imagine how freaked out they would be with Music Boxes and Phonographs... :lol:

I'm pretty sure they didn't even relate the question to the coronavirus, it would be 38% regardless :lol:

There were also Corona soft drinks (probably not related to the American beer mentioned above) and, I seem to recall, Smith Corona typewriters. The word must have been used countless times as a trade-name, especially perhaps in Italian and Spanish where the Latin word corona has survived without change in the sense 'crown'. Who will ever use it again?

I wouldn't mind being infected by this type of Corona. It is a beauty.
