Whenever I see a vending machine for it or realize it's still on the shelves, I wonder who's drinking it. Does anyone remember Rondo? It was an Australian soft-drink "lightly carbonated" that was marketed in the late seventies (why yes, I *am* a hundred years old). The soda was okay, but the commercials were sexy, with all sorts of rugged dudes hang gliding, rock climbing, rowing and of course, quenching their big thirsts with light citrusy taste of Rondo!

I know I tried a different flavor everytime we stopped for gas. I think Fruitopia was launched the summer I moved cross-country. I know I tried a different flavor everytime we stopped for gas.

It was light flavored, Citrus soda--I would chug the stuff all day when I was around 11 or 12. I think CITRA is close to the same stuff.<br /><br /> I still remember the commercial with the grass-skiing dude who then chugged a can and crushed it therafter.<br /><br /> "Rondo: The Thirst Crusher" ::CRUNCCCHHH!!!!:: Rondo was THE BEST!

Within an hour, he responded and had restored the file to its original place! Thanks Al!
