Growing up on the East Coast of the United States, Mello Yello was a rare soda pop. In my neck of the woods, New Jersey, Mello Yello was only available in one location that I could find, and my family hardly ever went by it. When we did, my pleas for Mello Yello often fell on deaf ears. It is a fine drink and I would often wonder why they just wouldn’t sell it in more locations.
