However, this peace and love vibe would later go on to have a rather more capitalistic second life in Australia where the Coca-Cola Company launched the “highly caffeinated” citrus drink Mello Yello, a now-defunct beverage that many remember as being so refreshing it was physically excruciating.Mellow Yellow has been a Hyde Park fixture since its opening in 1976. It forecasted the Summer of Love as though Donovan was in cahoots with a tie-dye oracle.
