Does anyone remember surge?

Sign in to disble this ad
That drink that came out in the 90's , I rememeber getting a 12 pack of it think i was like 7 , not the best choice for my parents to buy probably. I think it was discontinued due to health hazards, this was before everyone drank energy drinks.


EDIT: found my life calling, here is a petition to save surge.

Oh, I remember surge, it was like concentrated mountain dew. Probably permanently dyed my insides green.

Yeah. Surge is basically more concentrated Mello Yello. Vault is better for sheer pwnage IMHO.

Vault essentially is Surge in a new, slightly healthier package. That`s why it`s actually called Vault

Vault is not Surge. You drink it wanting it be Surge but it just isn't. It doesn't taste the same, different energy high. Its not fair...

I miss surge

I want some now.

They still make Jolt. I bought some a couple of months ago.

Surge was delicious. Vault? Not so much. I had it once and puked my guts out. I did like the couple of cans of Mello Yellow I've tried here and there.

Apparently you can still get it in Norway, although it`s called Urge over there.

Jolt still exists.

Also, does anyone remember Storm? Came out about the same time as Surge. I remember it had something to do with Sierra Mist. Did the rename it?

In glass bottles.

Surge was better than any of the lemony lime type sodas out now.

I also remember old all-sport the carbonated ones. Had to be the worst sports drink in history but they were good. I saw a soda machine that carried them last Sunday and rushed to buy it only to discover than it is now a non-carbonated cough syrup given the taste and texture.
