What happened to Rondo? It seems to have had enough market. It was way better tasting than squirt.

Rondo was my favorite soft drink back in the day.

Was sold in Texas in late 70's as well. My friend's parents bought it by the case and after jumping on the trampoline for a while we would challenge each other to who could "Slam down" the fastest. we would do a couple in a row and man did it burn !!!!
Thanks for the memories I love it

LOL even when I was a little kid I thought this commercial was stupid.

@typicalaussiebloke What's lemon squash?

I was 12 when I saw this. A friend and I were playing with staves like in the commercial ... Then, one of them flipped up, hit the glass light diffuser (shaped like a square) and a large piece hit my face, missing my eye by 3 inches. 9 stiches later ... I hated Rondo.
Great commercial. I have to say Rondo is the US version of the Aussie lemon squash drink "Solo" which we invented in 1973 (see Solo soft drink in Wikipedia for reference). They used exact same logo scheme as our Solo too. And the slogan "so you can slam it down fast" is also our Solo brand slogan too. I'll post a video response with one of the Solo commercials from my collection.
