Where Can I Buy Mello Yello?

[UA All the Way]

I live out West, Las Vegas. I am going through beverage withdrawal. I make my own sweet tea. But I can't find Mello Yello anywhere and it's driving me crazy. Any help from anyone else out West would be great.

Don't know to be honest with you. I didn't even know they still made it. We were in Livingston, TX this weekend and ate at Bodacious BBQ....if you're ever there, it is good! Anyway, they had RC Cola. Geez, I didn't know RC was still in business. That was good stuff.

You could probably call your local Coca-Cola bottler and ask them where to buy the product...

Coca-Cola Tries Again with Vault Citrus Soda

Mello Yello is still on the market, but has limited distribution.

Broken Wing: Mello Yello

Mello Yello gets high marks for me because of its rich, full-bodied flavor. I admit it also wins some nostalgia points, and I am probably acclimated to its taste due to all the Friday nights of my early youth I spent chugging the stuff. My dentist says it is better to drink diet soda, but if I have to drink regular soda, drink it fast rather than nursing it over the course of the afternoon. To that, I say, "Bottom's up!"

Immagine my chagrin when, after moving there, I learned it wasn't available in New Mexico! I had to drive to Colorado to score any! Nine long years later I returned to MN where it is, thankfully, still readily available.

Two sticky thumbs up, indeed!

Oh NO! What is this rumor of Mello Yello being discontinued? I live in Central Texas (Army) where Mountain Dew apparently rules and am considered an outcast. I can only find it in a few vending machines on post and wish I could go back to Georgia, land of eternal Mello Yello, and fly a cargo plane full of the greatest carbonated ever invented. I certainly hope this is a nasty urban legend.

If you cant find it you might want to try Vault as a substitute

Do they have any Mountain Dew? Isn't it virtually the same thing?

Mello Yello has more sugar and less carbonation. Mt. Dew has a bit more caffeine. To me, they taste very different...

The further west you go the less you see it. I know in Mississippi it is very common. But once you cross the MS River and into Louisiana it tends to be much harder to find if at all.

Thanks for the idea. Hopefully it's somewhere in this dang town.

FWIW, the term mellow yellow, which came from Donovan's song of the same title, was suppose to refer to drying out banana skins and smoking the results.
Dont ask me how I know this.
