Harmening Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I think the last time I had a Mello Yello, I was a kid. It had this logo:It still sells pretty well around here, I just don't think I've ever purchased it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illwauk Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I just don't see why Coke can't concede the citrus market to Pepsi and Pepsi can't do the same for lemon-lime... nothing Coke puts out is gonna be seen as anything but a second-rate Mountain Dew and vice versa for anything Pepsi puts out to compete with Sprite. Even 7up and Sun Drop have more of a following than Sierra Mist and whatever citrus soda Coke happens to be hockin' at the moment.But as long as Mello Yello is being brought back, I'm glad they're doing so with a more "traditional" look and not the one that reeked of 90s "X-TREMEness."

Joshawaggie Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I've been seeing these out now. I haven't seen the new case, so I wonder if they are new cans in an old case, like I think what happened to Mtn Dew and Pepsi at first. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apeman33 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I never saw the other flavored Mellow Yellows here (SE Kansas). I kind of agree with one of the posters above that Pepsi ought to give up on the lemon-lime market. Sierra Mist seems to lack flavor compared to others. Coca-Cola just needs to pick one citrus soda already and stick with it. I guess it's a good thing Fanta doesn't have a lemon-line flavor (at least in the states) or else Coke would be splitting its own business four ways.

ChuckDownfield Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Let's make this very clear. Vault is not Surge. With that said, Mello Yellow is still around my area, mostly in Subways and stuff, however Mountain Dew is much more popular. I do like the new look though.

I'm surprised they even have it up there?!?[edit] I Wikipedia'ed. I totally thought Sun Drop was a Southern thing. I guess it was Dale Earnhardt hawking it in the early '90s, and the fact that it's bottled by the same people who make Cheerwine - and sold next to it in coolers, too.

Burmy Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Does that mean they'll FINALLY make Diet Mello Yello soon?I still remember the old commercials when Ernest P. Worrell always tried to get Vern to get rid of his Mountain Dew and switch to Mello Yello... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejeff Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I spotted Mello Yello on the shelves of my local Tops (which was Quality a week ago) here in Buffalo. And MY has never been here... even when I was a kid and it was sold elsewhere in America still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC2 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 This has got some kind of 1970is, Miami Floridians-type thing going on here. I's aiight...That said, I wasn't aware Mello Yello even still existed...and now I know why. Only regionally distributed...and Imma guess the Northeast ain't one of those regions.Idk where you live, but I live in NY and I see it all the time. Fast. Hard. Finish.

elsephen Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Sun Drop just recently went outside the borders of TN, I believe. It wasn't too long ago that they aired radio commercials practically bragging about being TN based and loyal. Guess the demand finally made them expand. Makes sense... people would take cases and cases home with them any time they came through. Or drive in to state to take it back to their stores.
