As a cricket fan, I still haven't the faintest idea what a "Brit"

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.

Crazy week so far, which at one point involved spewing down the
inside of my jeans! -- D

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:

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