Yes, I remember it. I think they still make it. |

They do still make it, and I can't remember where I last saw it for sale because I'm an old fart. Both Mtn. Dew and Mellow Yellow reminded me of pond scum, and I drank them enthusiastically with this in mind. |

Back in the day, the soda companies used to have contest where they'd print a code or a prizeword on the bottom, inside of the can. You'd drink the soda and then look inside the can to see if you've won anything. I remember my sister winning $100 from a Mello Yello...probably in the late 1980s? |

I saw it this weekend at a Hardees hamburger joint in suburban Des Moines. I went with the Coca Cola, though, so I can't testify as to its alleged urine like color. |

I mostly see Mellow Yellow in vending machines or the soda machines at fast foods places. |

The last time I had Mello Yellow was in May of 1988. I was studying for my Russian exam and had about 11 hours of sleep in 4 days. I got a six pack of Mello Yellow from the school cafe because it had the highest caffeine content of what they sold. I decided to see how quickly I could put away all 6. I got down 4 but couldn't finish the fifth one. I haven't had one since. I have a hard enough time even looking at the logo. |

Hey, anyone here remember that it should be '70s, and not 70's? |

The threads about Mellow Yellow and Mountain Dew on here today are making me really want to consume one of those beverages. |

You can find Mello Yello in stores now that Coca Cola revived the brand. There was also a citrus drink in the Midwest called Green River. Damn stuff was day-glo green. Haven't seen that one in years. http://www.beveragesdirect.com/assets/productimages/green-river-soda.jpg |

Rondo was drink that real men drank. There weren't enough real men around to keep it in business. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9P1hNs94tG0 |

Remember it well. Was similar in taste to Mt. Dew, but not as good. |

Mello Yello is indeed not a very good citrus soda. It is way to similar to Mtn Dew for my liking, which I also do not consider a quality citrus soda. I'm disgusted that Coke re-released Mello Yello nationwide last year and discontinued Vault, which on the other hand, was a quality citrus soda. It was very similar to SURGE, Coke's green-colored citrus soda of the late 90s/early 2000s. I was always hoping Surge would make a return some day. Maybe after Mello fails again, Coke will consider a Surge comeback. |

The best citrus soda out there is Yoli, but you can only get it the state of Guerrero, Mexico (places like Acapulco, Zihuatanejo, etc). |

They're talking about smoking dried banana peels (was called mellow yellow) to get high. Talk about stupid flipping hippies .... |
