Cidona is an Irish apple-based soft drink that has been on sale since 1955.[1] It is popular in Ireland and has some sales in the United Kingdom. It was once produced by cider producers Bulmers (part of C&C) and comes in a distinctive green bottle. It is now part of Britvic Ireland due to C&C selling their soft drink segment in 2007.[2]
UK version
In 1940, it was being advertised in the UK Radio Times by H. P. Bulmer as 'The newest, non-alcoholic, sparkling apple drink' and priced at 10 pence for a 'big 5 glass flagon'.[3]
