One of my vices is sugary beverages. I was reading about
Coca-Cola's retro-campaign for its revival of Mello Yello, a cult-favorite soft drink, and it made me nostalgic -- it used to be one of my favorites when I was a kid. Yes, I know that beverages with high fructose corn syrup are bad news, but they taste so darn good, and I don't drink coffee so I often depend on Snapple or Arizona Iced Tea for my boost on a sluggish day. Mountain Dew, the best known citrus flavored drink, is another choice, but Mello Yello is dearly missed.
I still can't find it in New York, but apparently there are a bunch of flavors now -- the original of course, plus Cherry, Melon, and "Afterglow" (which I believe might be peach flavored).
