Look what you made me Dew

Since Mello Yello isn't available in the Philippines anymore, Mountain Dew has become my default when I'm looking for something citrusy. Back in my HS days, Mello Yello was my default soda, and it was what I'd always buy in our canteen, or in the nearby "OK Food Stop" across Lourdes Shrine.

Last time I was able to enjoy Mello Yello was back in the US. And boy, did I cherish that moment.

We're not in the US, though, so you'll just occasionally see the bright, neon green bottle of Mountain Dew in our fridge whenever the citrus craving arises. That ubiquitous bottle that you also see being recycled into vases and other display items by the road.

During my last 7-11 visit, there was this strange bottle inside the cooler. It said "Mountain Dew", but it wasn't neon green but was clear! Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a new variant - Mountain Dew Ice!

It's their new lemon-lime flavour, which is their basically their answer to Sprite.

Looks interesting. Now I'm wondering if it tastes interesting, too.

There's only one way to find out...

Yello Fever

Here's yet another postscript from my recent Christmas holiday trip in the U.S.

Of course, I couldn't leave the U.S. without getting a bottle of my favorite Mello Yello.

Bring this back to the Philippines. Please!

Mello touch

Mello Yello was one of my favorite drinks as a kid. Too bad that they discontinued it in the Philippines.

Gladly, it's still very much available in the U.S.!

Time to Mello out.

P.S. I can still remember their jingle up to now:

 Mello Yello makes you feel so good, so fast
From your head down to your toe.
Mello Yello makes you feel so good, so fast
You can't just drink it slow!
