The PoP Shoppe is a soft drink retailer originating in 1969 at London, Ontario that used refillable bottles in 24 bottle crates. Circa 1977, there were 26 original flavours. The original company ceased operations in 1983 and its trademarks expired in 1993.

While I was watching the "Angry Ronald McDonald" (Joe Piscopo) sketch (Oct. 22, 1983), it was interrupted by breaking news of barracks explosions in Lebanon. 241 U.S. servicemen lost their lives. Not a pleasant SNL memory, but one that has stuck with me.
