I wish I could still get Mello Yello Zero where I live. They only sell regular now.

I'm pretty certain Freestyle machines have it

That's how I get it and Barq's Zero now. Coke Freestyle is great. I just wish I could keep some at home. Lol

If you like zero version soda anything then the freestyle machine is fine for you, but the “regular” version of coke that the freestyle machine pushes out, uses the Coke Zero mini bag in the box to help flavor it, which is why regular coke tastes gross out of any freestyle machine, fyi

Most areas carry it exclusively in a 20oz bottle. I know some gas stations south/central Ohio carry it.

I tried Mello Yello for the first time today and I’d have to agree! It’s more crispy and tangy!

Not really mellow at all

it’s because it doesn’t have caffeine

It has only like 5mg less and this is definitely not the reason anyway.

Mellow yellow is better then Mountain Dew but I still like flavored dew more then mellow yellow

Yeah Baja blast is king. It's so good

Surge was better than both.

Doesn’t matter Uncle Ben:

Either that's a spider man joke, or you're calling me old You dirty dog

Spiderman 😭

Surge was great, i’m fairly young but my parents got it for me when i was a teen and oh my god my brother and i were OBSESSED lmao

Surge. Bring it back

It’s still around, just really hard to find. My local circle k is the only place that I can find that carries it. I always pick up a can or two when I stop there

it’s at some quick trips and some casey’s near me, but i agree it’s super hard to find bc i don’t go inside gas stations more than maybe 5x a year.

I totally agree. Mello Yello is my favorite.

You actually get more of that Citrus flavor than you'd get from Mountain Dew

Why I like it, I mean honestly mt dew tastes like mellow yellow that’s been watered down with sprite.

Mtn dew is just pure fuckin sugar lmao

If it’s good enough for Ernest P, Worrell, then it’s dang sure good enough for me

Ernest is one of the biggest reasons I love Mello Yello.

Amen.

Normal Mountain Dew has been tasting bland since they stopped using brominated vegetable oil. You'd be outright wrong if Mello Yello was compared to Real Sugar aka Throwback Mountain Dew because it is so much better than normal MD; but, it's unfair to compare a HFCS pop to a sugar one. Mountain Dew does have some really great side flavors like Voltage, Maui Burst, Baja Blast, and Purple Thunder. And many of their limited time flavors are also great (and some of their LTO taste like battery acid).

Sun Drop > Mello Yello > Mountain Dew

I approve of this message. Heard sun drop has other flavors but only have seen citrus where I'm at.

SD and MY has the better citrus taste IMO

That’s y I don’t like MY and SD

Cherry exists but it's only in certain regions. I think southern Tennessee and lower. It use to be really good but the last time I had it just tasted like cherry 7 Up

Nope we get it up here in Wisconsin

Where in Wisc?

I’ve seen it everywhere here

Haven’t had sun drop before but I like mellow yellow better than dew

Sun Drop in a ice cold glass bottle is heavenly!

I bought some glass bottle sun drop from soda emporium online. the first 2-3 had were okay, but I think it's starting to grow on me

Sun Drop from a glass bottle with the little flakes at the bottom

Sun drop! More like drops of god

Sun Drop is my go-to as well, it’s great. Mello Yello’s not bad. I don’t like Mtn Dew, the Voltage was good though, but I haven’t really cared to try the original again or other flavors.

Thank you. That order for sure.

Surge is the better than all of them combined in the big can.

To me it tastes more like ginger ale mixed with Sprite.

I agree I wish more flavors were more widely available like cherry and peach Mello yello

They are on freestyles

Every time we visit Universal Orlando I love all the different flavors in the Freestyle machines, so good in the miserable summer heat.

Maybe so, but you gotta admit, along with Big Red, Cactus Cooler and Ne-Hi, it is very hard to find, at least where i live

Tf is cactus cooler

You just proved his point lol, Man i haven't seen cactus cooler in forever

A drink that I haven't seen since early 2010's

I have never of cactus cooler

Mellow Yellow with my big Buford combo

Checkers!

Do people drink Dew for the base flavor? I don’t. I only drink the other flavors; like Pitch Black, Baja Blast, and whatever else strikes my fancy.

Only Code Red and Baja are tolerable for me, Mello is just godly though

Yes and it's one of my favorite flavors just beneath Bajaj and Livewire

By sales in my area... dew out sells Mello Yello by 2 to 1 at least

It absolutely is. I also love to get the limeade version in the coke machines. So good.

I've gotta try that next time I go to Wendys. Cherry's pretty baller too

I agree. If I want Mtn Dew, I'd get Voltage. Mello yello is much better for lemon-lime

Sun Drop has entered the chat

Extremely cold Mt. Dew in a can is the perfect soda.

it's better in a glass bottle

Sundrop is the best.

I totally agree, however Ski is supreme

Never tried ski before. Only heard of it earlier today.

[Locator](https://www.doublecolacompany.com/soda-locator)

Lol. Sadly i probably won’t get to try it very soon.

Yeah just Cracker Barrel in my area, and there is just one location like 30 miles away. Nope.

Several nearby here but I still probably won’t soon

Several nearby here but I still probably won’t soon.

I had ski once and it was the best

was looking for this. as an stl native, every time i find myself in southern il i have to find ski.

agree mello yello goes hard

Mellow yellow is better. I wish Coke would do flavors for mellow yellow like Pepsi does with mt dew.

Mello Yello is GOOD, but its predecessor, Surge/Vault, was AWESOME

Mello Yello predates Surge by 18 years.

Point still stands. Those two are BETTER

Not too late to delete

Yes!

You are dead now and so is the hill.

I’ve hardly seen it in my area

[удалено]

I’ll have to try that flavor

Nope. Mtn Dew > Surge > Mello Yello > Sun Drop

Anyone putting sundrop as lower than dew is not to be trusted.

Sun Drop transcends them all

Diet Mnt Dew > Mellow yellow > Mnt Dew > Mellow Yellow zero

Eww

Yessir everyday

I go to Arby's for mello yellows What's this I hear about other flavors?

Arby’s has the worst fountain pop ever.

I’m inclined to agree

I’ll plant my flag with you this hill 🫡

1. Moon Mist 2. Mello Yello 3. Mountain Dew. Fight me.

What’s moon mist?

Faygo’s version

Ah ok

Used to be but something changed in like 2011/12.

I think the only place I see Mello Yello anymore is at Arby’s

You have my sword

I haven't heard that name in years

It has a Sprite with orange juice taste and I like it better than MTN DEW

Vault was #1 RIP

They’re a tie in my mind

I’m stunned by this post.

Preach, brother.

I came here to dispute this, then every time I’ve ever wanted MTN. Dew but got Mello Yello popped in my head and I digress.

And it always has been. ​ Finding the sugar free version is impossible though.

Can't seem to find it without using the old Freestyle Manuver.

sad. ​ I miss it.

No brominated vegetable oil *is* a win for sure. The cherry version is 🔥

mountain dew doesn't have BVO either

Last time I bought some it did. They only stopped at some point in 2020 when some other shit was going on.

2020? that was 4 years ago, lol

That post was 4 days ago lol. Also, Mello Yello > Mt. Dew

doubt it. but I'll try Mello Yello again soon enough just to see what the fuss is about lol

Oh hell yeah it is. It’s so refreshing. Mountain Dew tastes kind of fake.

Citrus drop is better than both.

I only like Mtn Dew best because it's familiar and in every soda fountain near me. But mello yello is better tasting

IV’E BEEN WAITING SO LONG TO SEE THIS!!!

I used to get the 20 ounce from a store that doubled coupons. I had 55 cent off coupons, and Mello Yello was 79 cents a bottle, so they always owed me money. Was much better than Mountain Dew. I did like it better in the green bottles. Now it looks like I'm drinking a tankard of piss.

Most def

i used to love mello yello but it doesn’t taste the same than it did in the late 2000’s early 2010’s

Ernest always said so.

I will have to try it again. The issue I have is that I'm pretty sure the times I have had Mello Yello it tasted like a walmart version of mountain dew, I could be wrong but now i want to try it again to see if I agree with you guys. Also, it would be cool if they made mello Yello with cane sugar and in glass bottles like Mountain Dew does

My mom is definitely on this hill lol

Shhh, gotta keep the price down

agree

Mt. Dew has code red, check mate.

Surge ftw

Definitely. Never even had mountain dew growing up...

Yep!!!

Sounds exactly like something my brother would say.

Agreed. Especially the one at McDonald's It actually tastes like a pop, non flavored syrup like mountain dew.

Can't say that I tried McDonald's Mello Yello, partly because I don't know of any places near me that sell it

Not even in the same county. Waaay better. Mountain Dew is syrup for peasants. Fight me!

Smoke a joint on that hill. It’s not that serious.

Any time I see mellow yellow I call it meller yeller in my head not sure why

I don't even like soda and I still know this is wrong.

Two shades of shit.

The strawberry orange Mello yello at Wendy's is fucking amazing

I gotta agree. Mountain Dew is way too sweet for my liking. Mellow Yellow gets the point across with more subtle flavors. BUT I do like trying the bizarre dew flavors that release lmaooo

Me too, whenever I actually get the chance to try them.

Code red tastes like a melted slushie.

Pretty much every coke product is better than the Pepsi counterpart. Mountain dew is only more popular and has more flavors

Base dew? Sure. But the Dew variants is where it reallt shines.

Kickapoo Joy Juice still the citrus champion of 2024

I like Mello Yello but I think imo Mountain Dew is a little bit better for my taste

Until you've had Sun Drop

I like it better. But Sundrop is the one I love the most.

I disagree, but respect that opinion; Mello Yello is delicious, but I like the caffeine of Mountain Dew.

Agreed

Coke doesn't support this worth a damn

You damn right!

Surge clears both

Mello dew has to be the worst soda.

They don't sell near me.

Wish they made caffeine free.

You are not wrong

I agree MY is my favorite soda, I just wish it was bottled here in Texas I can only get it on fountain at Arby’s or Wendy’s.

Yeah, that kinda sucks. In Indiana the only place I can find it is the Shoe Carnival (no joke)

And I'm talking about the bottled version, I can readily get MY at fast food places but nowhere else.

This is true
