Never been much of a soda drinker, but ever heard of a drink product called Mello Yello? It's like a Mountain Dew drinks wannabe. It came around the 1970's and is part of the Coca Cola Company. Mello Yello started out in 1979 and is banned in certain countries like Australia where they named their version Lift.
Mello Yello is an ok brand. How did they get the name? I guess from the people who created. Since it had a lemony taste, they thought of the color yellow, and there was a song called Mellow Yellow. They have versions like Mello Zero, Cherry, Melon, Red and much more.
Jim Varney was in ads when he was Ernest back in the 80's He would pick Mello Yello over Mountain Dew which was pretty popular back then. Now, it seems Mello Yello has vanished and hasn't been around since the 80's ended. Where did it go?
It hasn't gone anywhere, but it hasn't been heard of very much since the 90's. It has rebranded itself many times, and with Mountain Dew being more popular it seemed to have faded in the limelight (or lemon light) It's still available, but you find it at many places like grocery stores. Mello Yello is staying since 1979 and now...it's coming back with vengeance. Ok not vengence, but you get my drift.
