Mello-Yello really? - Page 2

I remember the Mellow Yellow Funny Car of Frank Oglesby. Man I'm getting old.

I think it's great NHRA can maintain that relationship with Coke. Now if they can come out with a Diet Mellow Yellow.

random fact did you know dr. pepper is just diet coke and rootbeer mixed haha[/QUOTE]

What an awful thing to do to Root Beer. : )

Oh great, Force just needs some more caffeine after a winning round. At least the interviews may get quicker as he will probably talk faster, can he do that?

Maybe this is why they painted the starting areas Yellow at the Nationals. Anyway, Mello Yellow tastes better than that Full Throttle crap, its like Mountain dew.

Maybe they can get Donovan Leitch to help promote their product? I'm just mad about Mello Yello.

I liked this coke product. Surge commercials were comical like the one where the surge can tied up the Mt Dew can with the old plastic bundler. The PC would have a conniption fit over that now days.

Mello Yellow instantly makes me think of "Days of Thunder".
"well how did you get them to go for that deal?" "I'm a hellva salesmen"
"I'm dropping the hammer"
"Japanese lettuce inspection"
And the scene from Driving to dinner is priceless.

Jim you are a little off on your history, the first soft drink was developed in England in the 1760's

My fault, I meant in the U.S. just failed to put it in the sentence.

I may be old, but I'm slow.
