![]() If you have tasted the regular Mello Yello but think it is way too sweet you will be in for a pleasant surprise with the Zero edition. Recently, the House of Coke added Mello Yello to their successful Zero line. I forgot it and whenever had a rare craving for a citrus soda, I took to Mountain Dew. It was too sweet for my taste and I couldn’t get past that wacky lettering. I didn’t know what this strange font was all about but bought a can anyway because I have always wanted to try it. It reminded me of the neon Doctor Who emblem with Peter Davison. More importantly, I remembered the original 70’s logo with the cool bubble letters. I remember that soda when I was a little kid. Around this time I noticed a soft drink with the ugliest logo ever called Mello Yello. Surge eventually went the way of the Sega Dreamcast, pogs and Tamagotchis (which taught a generation to never have kids or pets because the damn thing was so needy). Like a cliché, I would raise my arms in victory to the opus of the Maximum Overdrive soundtrack, AC/DC’s “Who Made Who?”Īnyhow, as time went on I discovered martinis and manhattans. Then I would drop me back on the ground and kick me 300-style down a pit. ![]() “Grow the fuck up kid,” I would shout, grabbing myself by his/my ratty Stereolab t-shirt. God, if I could go back in time I would kick myself in the ghoulies and then wipe the mud off my Cole Haan’s all over my 1995 version’s face. Screaming “sell out” while I had an ill-conceived mohawk and noshing on Asian shrimp flavored snacks. Yeah…I was one of those idiots who felt that if things got popular, they were no longer good. In some stupid way I thought drinking Surge was cooler because it was not as popular as Mountain Dew at my university. They even aped the extreme sports campaign of Mountain Dew but no matter, I liked Surge and was impartial to the Mountain. Surge was Coca-Cola’s answer to Mountain Dew. Back when I was in college I drank a lot of Fruitopia and Surge.
