Oh, and I miss Mello Yello. I can only find it in Indiana. Damn Mountain Dew. You are worthless compared to the almighty beverage that is Mello Yello.

I've seen Mellow Yellow at every single McDonald's I've ever been to.  You might score a fix there..look for the golden arches.

Well that makes sense, considering McD's and Coca Cola are bed buddies.

I can get Mello Yello at many stores here in Canada.  I prefer it to Mountain Dew because it's not quite as sweet (Just like Coke isn't as sweet as Pepsi).

Tower Root Beer! Very, very good root beer. It was made in Charlestown, MA, until about 1970. Unable to compete with the juggernaut of the huge soft drink companies, they folded. I don't think it was ever distributed beyond New York state, or further south than New Jersey.

It wasn't too sweet. It had just the right amound of "bite", and if poured into a glass, it made a head like Guiness.  The funny thing was that it was never sold in cans, but only in dark brown, long neck bottles.  It sometimes confused some people, when they saw kids drinking with gusto from these bottles. It was sold in un-common places, such as smaller grocery stores, and general stores which were located outside major cities.

You dudes and dudettes want to try a drink which seperates the men from tbe boys, and the women from the girls? (I know you do.    )

How about a nice glass of Moxie?  Umm, umm Good!   Personally, I cannot believe this stuff is still around.  This stuff will put hair on your chest. If you have hair on your chest, Moxie will probably remove it.

I miss a pastry from Berlin called the Berliner (I think that's how it's spelled)  You can only get it around the Berlin area, and I can't find a recipe to make my own 

I also miss Celebrities Sports Center.  It was a giant arcade in Denver that had everything.  Bowling, swimming, pool, and every kind of arcade game you could want.  The most you got charged for a game was $.25 and that was for the better games.  Most stuff was only $.10  You played for tickets then got prizes with the tickets.  They tore it down and up up a Men's Warehouse

I miss snowball fights with my friends when we were kids.

Rocky Road cereal will forever be my favorite cereal to ever have existed.  That stuff was awesome!

Is it a cola soda? I didn't see on the site what it is exactly.

It's a cola type of drink.  It has a strong taste, not too much sweetener.
I've had it, but I'm not a huge fan.

Have some history.

Thanks.

There is one Howard Johnson's left in MA. It's in Greenfield.

Hey, I have been to that one.

Have you ever been to the little Greenfield town that the guy built in his yard? I love that place!

I miss the old arcade video game "Sinistar." It's probably available somewhere, but I'm not enough of a video game person to want to seek it out.

One of those Plug-n-Play TV games has Sinistar on it.  It's the one that looks like the old arcade style red knob joystick, IIRC.

I miss 7up Gold.  It was a spice flavored version of 7up that came and went in the 80's, apparently only out westward.

Oh yeah, and I've bought 10 cent cokes in bottles from machines too, and Moxie is truly awful.
