Kel Mitchell Says His Own Orange Soda Is in the Works

Kel Mitchell still loves orange soda.

Taking questions from fans during his 90s Con appearance at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford, Conn., Mitchell, 46, revealed that he wants to bring orange soda to the masses in a good way.

The revelation came about when Mitchell was asked how his love for orange soda on Kenan & Kel came to be. Just moments earlier, Mitchell had led the crowd in his beloved sing-song catchphrase, “Who loves orange soda? Kel loves orange soda.”

“One of the writers, this is what he told me. He said, ‘It was a rainy day.’ I said, ‘What does that have to do with orange soda?’ ” he recalled.

“He said, ‘It was a rainy day, Kel, and I was like, Who loves orange soda? And I was thinking about rain.’ And we did an episode where there was orange rain coming down, which was big for me, because I’m a dancer. I started out in theater, so I got to do Fred Astaire type of dancing, which was super cool for me.”

Mitchell said people ask him about the bit all the time, joking, “It doesn’t matter if it’s a five-star restaurant, they’re going to go, ‘Can you say, “Who loves orange soda?” Please, Kel?’ And I’ll do it.”

As fans cheered, he shared, “But it’s coming, okay? My own orange soda.”

As excited fans chattered, Mitchell continued, ‘I was on the phone with my attorney because … it has to be healthy. I can’t have kids out here just drinking fructose and sugar, you know what I mean? So, we’ve been working on it.”

Mitchell and Kenan Thompson met as teenagers while working on the hit Nickelodeon sketch series All That in 1994. A friendship was spawned from there, resulting in them scoring the Kenan & Kel show. They later costarred as Dexter (Thompson) and Ed (Mitchell) in the 1997 film Good Burger, which has since gone on to become a cult comedy classic.

Mitchell also hinted the duo isn’t done with Good Burger, either. “Me and Kenan actually sat down and talked about the script for part three, all right, so it’s going to go down. We’ve got to make sure it’s right, just like how Good Burger 2 was,” he shared of the 2023 sequel.

Mitchell assured, however, “We’re not gonna make you guys wait over 15 years.”
