Author Topic: MELLO YELLO! Jason Black Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1723 From: Myrtle Beach, SC, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 05-03-2001 11:49 PM                        Paul, Sorry I didn't get back up with you when you emailed me.. To be honest, I forgot about it altogether... It's been a few weeks since I've even checked the site, so I need to be flogged maybe.... Anyway... If, in the future, you run into a dire "fix" for the yella stuff, drop me a line.. ------------------ The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese!  |  IP: Logged Paul Goulet Master Film Handler Posts: 347 From: Rhode Island Registered: Jan 2000 posted 03-23-2003 08:41 PM                        MELLO YELLO UPDATE #2! I am now able to order MELLO YELLO from a store in the Middletown/Newport, RI area. I am now looking for DIET MELLO YELLO . All I want to get is either a six-pack or maybe a 12-pack. Even one can for my MELLO YELLO collection would be very helpful. I hear it is available in some locations in the U.S. Someone who recently was in Florida (No names mentioned) was supposed to buy me some but he was too busy shopping at the discount mall in Florida. Any help would be appreciated!

Usually had to pull them down off the ceiling to get them to go on service calls...and they'd always be back quickly but always got the job done. They never got in any wrecks either but the kid used to burn up engines in his car on a regular basis....I assume that drinking Jolt had something to do with that. Steve K. probably remembers them well.....

I was thinking about them just the other day. Maybe someone else has run into them (not literally I hope).  |  IP: Logged Michael Gonzalez Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 790 From: Grand Island , NE USA Registered: Sep 2000 posted 03-24-2003 10:08 PM                     I use to drink Mello-yello all the time but I don't think that they sell it around here also because I don't recall seeing it for a time now. However my favroite drink that was discontinued was Cherry-cola Slice. It was the best tasting cherry cola out there and they advertised that every can contained 10% real juice (though admittaly it was never said that all 10% was cherry juice).  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-25-2003 09:02 AM                     Last I heard the Wyse Guys were living way down south in Bammy.

What kind of flavouring etc? IMO cream soda is due a revival here too - it used to be pretty popular in the 70s but you hardly ever see it now. David  |  IP: Logged Paul Goulet Master Film Handler Posts: 347 From: Rhode Island Registered: Jan 2000 posted 03-25-2003 03:45 PM                        MELLO YELLO was introduced by the Coca-Cola Company in 1979. It is described as lightly carbonated, citrus-flavored soft drink. Some people would even compare it to "Mountain Dew", although I think that MELLO YELLO is MUCH better then MD. It is available only in limited areas, even though it is a COKE product. The MELLO YELLO I get in the Middletown/Newport, RI area is actually shipped in from Pennsylvania many people who live on the Navy base in Newport have requested it. It has only been recently that I have been able to order it from a supermarket in Middletown, RI. I have actually traveled as far away as Clearmont, NH & Fitchburg, Massachusetts to be able to buy it. A friend of mine who frequently goes to Pennsylvania had been buying it for me and bringing it back to me in RI. I usually wait until it is on sale and then order 25 to 30 12'packs. Last year they also introduced CHERRY MELLO YELLO & MELON MELLO YELLO. I have tried both of them and prefer the regular MELLO YELLO then the Cherry or Melon Yellos. I have only recently found out that there is a DIET MELLO YELLO. From what I have been told it is only available in Sioux City, and Evansville, IN. I am hoping someone could ship a few 12'packs to me so I can try it, Or maybe someone has a COKE connection that would allow me to be able to order some?? The Ingrediants of MELLO YELLO are: Carb. water,High Fructose Corn Syrup and/or Sucrose. Concentrated Orange Juice, Citric Acid Natural Flavors,Sodium Benzoate, Erythorbic Acid, and EDTA, Potasium Citrate, Caffeine, Yellow 5, Carob Bean Gum. THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP!

I was there yesterday and got some ==EDIT== Better Wording: Did Regal recently get Mello Yello or did they have it at the time when they switched to Coke? =TMP= [ 03-27-2003, 09:45 PM: Message edited by: Thomas Procyk ]  |  IP: Logged Paul Goulet Master Film Handler Posts: 347 From: Rhode Island Registered: Jan 2000 posted 03-26-2003 08:59 PM                        My guess would be that it came when they switched to COKE. MELLO YELLO is a COKE product.  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 07-23-2005 09:10 PM                 It has been 850 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Paul Goulet Master Film Handler Posts: 347 From: Rhode Island Registered: Jan 2000 posted 07-23-2005 09:10 PM                        :BUMP: to the top!

To my understanding, it's only available in Southern Ohio, parts of Tennessee, and parts of Illinois. If you are interested, I could send you some. - Matt  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 07-25-2005 12:23 PM                     Oh Jeeze, you're insulting his Mello Yello by saying some other drink is better!!! You're in trouble!  |  IP: Logged
