From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rondo can from the early 1980s
Rondo was a citrus-flavored soft drink available in limited U.S. markets in the late 1970s and early 1980s, one which was "blended from fine essences", and "lightly carbonated". It is mostly famous for its slogan - "Rondo---The Thirst Crusher" - as well as its commercials, featuring people crushing the cans in various ways. The cans featured bright yellow packaging for regular Rondo and green packaging for Diet Rondo.
An oblique reference to this drink is made in the movie Idiocracy. Instead of Rondo, it is Brawndo: The Thirst Mutilator. In 2007, Redux Beverages introduced a real Brawndo energy drink which was marketed online with a tongue-in-cheek YouTube advertisement featuring the voice of comedian Mark Little, inspired by one of his sketches called "Powerthirst."
