    		 In the late eighties or early nineties, there was a drink, at least around Dallas, TX called Cool Cola. It was in a silver can with Cool written in blue with ice caps on the top of the letters. The commercial was a bunch of Cool Cola cans with sunglasses, scarfs, ear muffs, and other winter clothes on a mountain partying and skiing while the jingle basically repeated "Cool, Cool Cola!" over and over. I can't find anyone else that remembers it. I was thinking about writing an article of discontinued snacks, and I can't find any pictures or references to Cool Cola anywhere.

    Does anyone remember this or have I lost my mind?

        		 I have no idea, so I will try some wild guesses.


        Cool Mountain:



        Ski Soda:





        Could you be thinking of a commercial for Coors beer?

          		 No. I appreciate the effort, but I remember it vividly.

            		 Don't worry doc6699, I'm sure you haven't lost your mind. Maybe what you saw was a test market campaign for a new soft drink.

            In 1977, Arizona was selected to test market "HONDO", a lemonade soft drink that was bold on flavor and light on the sugar. The can was yellow, gold and silver with "old west" style lettering - the result was a beautiful can!

            The TV ads for "HONDO" showed muscled cowboys under a hot southwestern sky quenching their thirsts with ice-cold HONDO's, (amazingly gay!). The ads were funny as hell to me and my college friends at the time.

            Anywho, I can't find any references to "HONDO" anywhere online, so I must have imagined the whole thing, just like you imagined "COOL Cola".
            The Eldorado is dead. Long live the Eldorado.

              		 Ad for cool cola. Do not know if it is real but there is a bottle with "cool cola" on it toward the end. It is a holiday ad. About half way through a voice says happy holidays from cool cola. It is pretty amateur though as if made locally somewhere.

                		 That test market thing could be it. We bought one 6 pack of it, and that was it. I've checked the belgium can museum, there's no record of it there. You might find Hondo on there.
                Too bad I can't find the commercial for it. It's a great representation of the time. It had a hokey jingle. Then all of the cans being cool while they were skiing. It was a shining example of retro.

                  		 It's been over 3 years and I finally found something. I found a logo. Does anyone recognize this?

                    		 Is this similar? Seems like an international brand though.
