The Rondo Challenge!

[EarlJam]

Anyone remember the drink Rondo? From the early 80s? It was kind of like a Mello Yellow. The ad campaign invited imbibers to take "The Rondo Challenge" to see how fast they could down a Rondo.

I've asked four people today and got the following responses:

1. Nope, never heard of it.
2. That doesn't ring a bell at all.
3. Are you sure? I don't think there was ever such a drink.
4. You're an idiot.

This has been a issue for me for years. It was the most popular drink at my school, and yet I have found about 3 people who remember it. And thats including you.:o

Alas! A fellow Rondoite!

Geesh. I was beginning to think I'd conjured the whole thing up in my head (honestly).

For years I have thought that was a Mello Yello commercial. One of my earlier embarassing memories involves turning a Mello Yello can upside down after chugging it and then unwittingly pouring about half the can all over the kitchen floor.

Wow. Today Rondo brings clarity and closure.

I thought this was another car thread, and EarlJam might have been proposing a challenge where you had to live in a Rondo (http://www.kia.com/rondo/)for a week or something.
