Miles Thirst Beat the Chevron Cars, matchup over

[Coppermine]

I thought the Mountain Dew conterpart is Meallow Yellow or something

It is, but Mello Yellow gets zero distribution or shelf space in comparison. Surge was Coke's attempt to grab that market. I liked Surge, but I guess it wasn't successful enough, because it quickly disappeared.

This one I remember... Pepsi owns Mountain Dew, as everyone knows, but about 10 years ago, sales of the stuff took off and Mountain Dew started selling almost as much as Pepsi itself.

So, Coke, who already had Mellow Yellow in limited distribution, decided to try and compete with Mountain Dew's "extreme" image and market Surge... a soda that tasted like a combination of Fresca and hair gel. Needless to say, it didn't last long.

Nowadays, I see more and more Mellow Yellow available... I like it, it's much more similar to the Dew, but that was just wone marketing war the Pepsi happened to win.

I don't really like the Chevron cars, but I can't bring my self to vote for something that is such a blatant rip off as the Miles Thirst character. Long live Lil' Penny!

There can only be one -

Lil' Penny was the man. He would've killed Miles too.

Wasn't Lil' Penny in the Blackstreet video for "No Diggity"?
