The last time I had a Mello Yello to drink I think I was somewhere between the ages of 6 and 7. I think I was about that old because, the only thing I remember about drinking that Mellow Yellow was pulling up to the “Coke Store” as I called it back then (I’m sure it was a 7-Eleven or a Utotem in Houston) and telling my mom I wanted a “Mellow Yellow”.
My mom returned to the car dutifully with a Mello Yello in hand just for me. I took one sip and promptly puked.
I bring this story up for you all because today at lunch, I was asked if I wanted a “pop” to go with my sandwich, and for a second I had no idea what I was being asked, then, as the cashier motioned towards the soda fountain, I saw Mello Yello, and said “Yes, please.”
I had a Mello Yello today for lunch.
I almost puked.
Dude – Mello Yello is awesome. My dad used to sell it when Coca Cola was one of the clients. He used to bring Mello Yello home by the case. I’d drink it all the time… until I wanted to puke.
Same thing goes for Otter Pops®, Faygo and Snapple.
Next time you travel to the midwest let me know. I’ll give you a crash course on midwestern dialect, such as “Pop” = “Cokes”, “You guys” = “Y’all” and “Going to” = “Fixin’ to”.
I LOVE MELLO YELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
