Yes. My father owned the company between 1963-1975. He sold his share . The company lasted to sometime around 1978. Those are the 4 Oz bottles or the Mini Pop version that you are displaying. The 4oz where sold in variety/corner stores. The 7 Oz were sold to banquet halls and cafes. The 30 Oz was for home delivery. There was also 10 Oz disposable bottles exclusively for coffee trucks aka canteen trucks.
Zip Beverages start out at the corner of Queen St West and Fennings Street in Toronto. At that location Sunnysides Beverages bottled their own product. Sunnysides Beverages was owned by Ukrainians and was located in the Sunnysides district of Toronto. Sunnysides also Developed into MiniPop Beverages.
Zip Beverages moved to 215 Toryork Drive sometime around 1967-68. It was primarily a home delivery company. In 1969 Faygo came to Canada and asked Zip Beverages to bottle their product for them here for distribution.
Zip Beverages also bottled for Tic Tac Beverages when that company started up. 2 years later they moved out and began bottling their own product at the south east corner of Oakdale Road and Eddystone Road in North York. ( Toronto)
The soft drink delivery business went by way of the home milk, home bread , home beer and home grocery delivery business.
Funny though but the home food delivery business is becoming vogue.

Mini Pop was bottled by Sunnysides Beverages at the northwest corner of Queen and Fennings Street in the Sunnysides area of Toronto. The green bottles were used for clear beverages like ginger ale and lemon lime.
Message me if you need more information. I can tell you all the history. My father owned Zip Beverages. Sunnysides Beverages bottled soft drinks for Zip till they moved to their own premises in 1967
