According to local legend How did Telluride Colorado get its name?

There are two stories. The town's name was originally Columbia but the Post Office asked that it be changed to avoid confusion with another Columbia, so "Telluride" was chosen in reference to gold telluride minerals that occur in most of Colorado. Interestingly, though, telluride minerals aren't found in the vicinity of Telluride itself!
The second story is that in Wild West days, "to-hell-you-ride" described the difficulties traveling to the area.

Mello YellowI know it's possible to get it in Colorado... where I don't know... The Subway in the same shopping center as my work in Colorado Springs up until about six months ago had Mello Yellow in the fountain... It is a Coca-Cola product meant to compete with Pepsi's 'Mountain-Dew'. It just never had the same market share. As local bottlers license the product line, then act as wholesalers, you might try locating your local Coca-Cola bottler and ask them where the pop is going to.King supers now carries melee yell. They also carry sun drop a similar soda made by dr pepper. I have also found it in Telluride last fall. Make that mello yello
