Corona and Isis are two common branding gotos that will now be forever out-of-favor.
Also, you probably can't name anything COVID, but I think that's a less likely scenario.
- airstrike 6y agoI do wonder what will happen to the beer...
- qz_ 6y agoIt's already been renamed to Coronita here in the Netherlands
- freehunter 6y agoAre you sure that’s the reason why? I can buy both Corona and Coronita, the difference is the size of the bottle. -ita in Spanish means “little” so Coronita bottles are 210ml while a bottle of Corona is 330ml.
- ciceryadam 6y agoall while in colder beer drinking climates, the small beers are 330ml, and regular ones are 500ml :)
- vvillena 6y agoCorona probably already held the Coronita trademark, because that was how it was branded in Spain until recently, because the brand was held by a winery. It would be fun to see them reverting the brand once again. What bad luck!
- Loulybob 6y agoTell that to Oxfordshire - plenty of companies still have Isis in the name (due to the local name for the Thames near Oxford being Isis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Isis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Isis)
- helldritch 6y agoInteresting, in the UK Corona seems to be doing quite well, anecdotally I'm noticing it popping up as an extra option on a lot of food delivery restaurants, and a lot of friends posting pictures of their bottles after work. Perhaps this is purely attributable to the British sense of irony.
