Surge Citrus Flavored Soda 16fl oz. 12 cans

12 years I have been cryogenically frozen. 12 long years. Just waiting for the day Surge came back on the market. So come to my surprise that I am slowly awaken to a world to which I think is still devoid of Surge. Maybe something must have gone wrong at the Cyro facility that myself and many others are kept at. Looking around, I see other pods also empty of people. In come scientists. Not one or two, but almost half a dozen. They quickly grab me before I fall and collapse to the floor due to muscle atrophy. Next thing I know, I am awaken on a table where all my vitals are being checked and my neural levels are analyzed. The next time I come around, I am in a plain white robe, on a standard cot in a non-descript room. In comes a scientist. He sits down and asks me how I feel. I say I am ok, but confused why I am awake. I ask if Surge has been brought back. He re-assures me that everything is fine and that I will need to follow him, if I am feeling strong enough. I try and stand. Legs are a bit wobbly, but I feel that I am able to be lead to where he wants to go. He offers to let me put my hand on his shoulder and lean as we walk to where he wants to go. Friendly fellow. We make small talk as we are lead to a plain steel door. He scans his badge and inputs a code.As the door opens, I see a smallish room with a window that is looking out over a beautiful lake. In the middle of the room, there is a steel table covered in a white table cloth with a single chair. There is something in the middle of the table, but I cant quite make it out. The kind scientist asks me to sit down and get comfortable. I make myself comfortable. Well, the best one can do in a semi-weakened state. He asks again how I am feeling. A bit perplexed, but I respond that I am still well. I notice his had moves to a cloth-covered item on the table. Curiously, I am wondering what strange thing is under it. Within half a second he removes the cloth. My heart freezes. To my eyes, there lies a pristine can of Surge. It seems larger than what I remember. My eye sight goes fuzzy, but I shake my head and re-focus on the can. Then I look at the scientist and back to the can. I realized I stopped breathing at this moment. A deep breath I inhale. On the exhale, I look at the scientist and before I can even mutter a word, he smiles as says 'Your eyes do not deceive you. That is an unopened can of Surge. And it is yours.'Tears spring to my face and a smile as wide as the can turned sideways appears on my face. The scientist reaches out and grabs the can. He hands it to me and my fingers tremble and fumble as I try to open the can. CRRSKK. The can is open. Aluminum on lips, I tip the can back and feel that sweet delicious flavor swirling around in my mouth and then down my throat. Next thing I know, the can is empty and a childhood happiness wells up inside of me. But a worry comes over me. I ask the scientist, 'Is this a dream? Or was there a secret stash found somewhere?' To my surprise, the scientist laughs and offers me a hand. We stand back up and he says to follow him. We go back to my room, all the while the scientist is making small talk about this and that, but keeps avoiding my questions about Surge. Upon returning to my room, he offers me to open the door. As the door slowly opens, I walk in a notice a box on my bed. I walk over to inspect it and notice it is a 12-pack of Surge! I cry out in surprise and happiness. The scientist smiles and says, 'It's all yours. Coca-Cola has brought it back and it is available via an online shop called Amazon. That 12-pack is yours and once you are strong enough to leave, you will have another 12-pack waiting at the exit.I thank the scientist for all that he has done. He makes his exit. I crack open another can. And before I know it, its gone. Then for the first time, I notice a fridge. In goes the surge, but another one is in my hand. I slowly drink on that can for a bit longer than the other two I had. By the end of the night, I have drank another 3 cans, each one a bit slower than the last. The smile on my face is one of pure happiness.

I remember the last time I had Surge. It was during weekend of LAN partying at a friend's house with 15 of my closest friends. Halo was the game of choice. We were downing Surge by the case, and probably had about 7 empty cases lying around by the time Sunday morning rolled around. The basement was a healthy 116ºF with 92% humidity that rivaled most steam rooms in gyms. This was from the 3 TV's, 4 Xbox's, and the projector running since Friday night, along with the heavy breathing of 16 people jumping and screaming at one another. Some had passed out by now, still sitting on the couches and chairs, controllers still in their hands. A few others had fallen on the floor mid-game. It would seem that 33 hours of non-stop Halo action was finally starting to take it's toll on us.The room had a unique smell of body odor, pizza, flatulence and Surge, all of which was only heightened by the heat and humidity. At that point we had become nose-blind to it, but could smell it when we left the room to use the bathroom, or grab another Surge. Empty Surge cans and pizza boxes littered the room. I can remember I was driving around Blood Gulch in the Warthog looking for my friends who had fallen asleep while still playing for some easy kills. It seemed that's what everyone else was doing as well. Our reaction times were really starting to dwindle at this point, and you could tell when we actually found someone who was still playing. We were struggling to stay focused, stay awake, so we didn't have the unfortunate fate as our comatose friends who were being drawn on and having other crude acts done to them from over-exhausted teenage boys looking for a quick laugh.As the match ended, I chugged down my can of Surge down like a bottle of water in the hand of the 1st place Boston Marathon runner when he crossed the finish line. I stood up and stumbled a little bit. I was exhausted but still remembered to call 5's so I didn't lose my seat. I exited the room quickly and quietly. The house was quite besides the faint sounds of the arguments about who's better and what level we should play next, or what they should do to Chris or Billy while they're sleeping. The fresh air was crisp and wonderful, and I could feel shivers running through my body. Although the house was pretty warm, it was like a cold winter night in Alaska compared to the temperature of that basement. As I made my way through to the garage to get another Surge, I could see the sun starting to rise in the distance just over the trees as I looked through the window. I remember asking myself if it was Saturday or Sunday since time was no longer a concept to me. I opened the fridge door and peered in. I saw numerous different sodas and drinks the fridge, and I moved them all around. I couldn't find any more Surge and though "Damn, no more Surge. I guess I'll just have a Coke instead." I cracked it open and took a sip. It was a refreshing change, but I still longed for the taste of Surge on my lips. I imagined that Surge was the nectar of the Gods and that they would would only drink something this great.I made my way back through the house to the basement. I opened the door and was blasted with the heat and that unforgettable stench. To this day, that room still has a faint smell to it that we just can't get rid of. As I sat back down, I remember looking at my empty can of Surge and thinking about how much I loved that soda. We were just about to start the next match on Boarding Action. I could feel my eyes getting heavy and I knew it wasn't much longer before I was out cold. I only lasted a couple minutes before I had fallen. I don't remember finishing the match, and could only imagine what messed up things were done to me as I lay comatose on that couch.Surge brings back those memories for me. It makes me almost want to take out my old Xbox and throw a LAN party together!Thank you Coca-Cola for bringing Surge back to us!!!

Is surge. What more is there to say.

To begin, this review contains many 90s references, and if that's an issue, I'm afraid you should stop reading. While I am only a 20-something and didn't get to experience the full glory of the decade that spawned the Internet and Furby's, I, like many others, purchased some Surge cola because of the nostalgia factor. As a child of the 1990's in pre-9/11 America, I have some fond memories of things that were awesome at the time such as: GAP clothing, trying to fit CD players into jean jacket pockets, 007 Goldeneye for the Nintendo 64, shopping malls not being the detritus of retail, 3D Doritos, Solo Jazz paper cups, Sobe drinks, overalls, attempted reboots at the Godzilla franchise, Pokemon Gold/Silver, and Skechers shoes. One thing notably absent from that list was Surge cola, something I never got the chance to try as a kid. My parents never really let me drink soda as a child and I didn't start drinking it until adulthood, so trying out Surge was a new experience altogether.I talked to some of my older friends and they have many great memories of Surge cola, but I can't relate as I never tried it. I guess Surge was in vogue for a few years in the latter part of the 1990s before being phased out in the early 2000s, and it's pretty cool to see it come back from public demand. French Toast Crunch was resurrected this year too, and will be on most store shelves in early 2015. The public spoke up and demanded Surge return, and some very smart people listened. When the news got around through my circle of friends, several of the older ones were raving about the old Surge and recommended I get a case to try. I was going to purchase a case from the initial run when they first came back to life, but hesitated and missed my chance, as they were out of stock. Amazon got some more in and I pulled the trigger, getting one of the last cheap cases. Today, the case came in.For starters I only had one soda, so I had a lot to consider when I first drank it. The can itself is a tall, green 16oz can with some really retro 1990s comic style lettering and design. The can looks like something out of the Simpsons; a comical throwback to the days of dial-up modems and Geo Metros. It looks pretty cool, i'm going to save a can to put on my shelf (I collect drink containers from various brands i've drank over the years.)As far as taste goes, I didn't really expect to be blown away but I didn't expect it to suck either, so that's why I gave it a 4/5 rating. I'm sure a lot of the more serious reviewers will compare this drink to Mountain Dew/Mello Yello. The soda tastes like a hybrid between those two, but with the smoothness of the latter and some of the "bite" of the former, mixed with some citrusy flavors. It has a bold flavor and it isn't too sour or sweet. I wish it would have had more of a sour character to it, but it is what it is. It's not a bad taste whatsoever! It goes down pretty smooth, not as bubbly as Mountain Dew or as smoothly as Mello Yello. All in all, not a bad soda in comparison to its modern-day contemporaries.I've read Surge is exclusive to Amazon for now, so get it while it lasts! I was lucky and managed to get my case with Prime 2-Day shipping for about $12, not a bad deal, about a dollar per can or so. I'm seeing cases for sale on Amazon now reaching upwards of $40-50 and while I'm thankful I got the good deal I did, when I did, I wouldn't spend more than $15 for a case, I didn't think it was that amazing.At the end of the day it's a fun, enjoyable soda to drink and reminisce about the days of the Clinton administration and N-Sync, but the honeymoon phase wears out after a while. If you can get a case cheap, do it, otherwise, I wouldn't say it's worth the money. This is the soda Millenials may remember enjoying, but can now try once again. I hope some of you won't take my opinions to heart, as nostalgia goggles can be blinding!

The day started just like any other. Wake up early, brush my teeth, shower, and watch the morning news. Everything was just as usual... only something didn't feel right.I ignored the exceptionally handsome weatherman on the KTVU News team to ponder where the strange feelings were coming from.*Ding! Dong!*The doorbell wrang, wich was peculiar, so I got up with a slight gusto and opened the front door. Nobody was there. I shut the door and walked back to the living room table to finish my Fruity Pebbles when I heard an echoing whisper from outside."Nectar of the Gods..." it muttered quietly.I could see a bright light pouring through the cracks in the door frame. Feeling incredibly compelled, I opened the door.Just then trumpets and orchestral angels played a symphony of holy music. Light shown down from the heavens above to my front doorstep to reveal my amazon pantry box full of Surge Soda. My heart lit up and I felt a love and joy from beyond this realm.I spared no time. I ran inside with the package and knocked the flower vase and fruity pebbles from the living room table to make room for the Surge. I grabbed a bowl and liquid nitrogen from the lab and instantly chilled my new ethereal beverage of the Gods.I cracked open a can and paused for a moment."There's no going back." I thought to myself.I smirked and chugged the entire 16 fl oz can of Surge in one amazing stream. I then lifted the can into the air triumphantly and let out a victory cry. Power surged through me like lightning bolts. My muscles bulged from my body like Goku from Dragon Ball Z. My neurons strengthened, grew, and created new neural networks that increased my intelligence tenfold. I became my final form. It was like me but multiplied by diamond!I ran outside, not bothering to put on pants. My neighbor Larry across the street glared at me with his beautiful smile and wonderful family by his side. He was just about to get into his Lamborghini which he loved to rub in my face. I marched across the street to put an end to his "one-upping" lifestyle.He put his family behind him for protection."Bobby. Buddy. Is there something I can do for you?" He said nervously.I smiled and pushed him out of the way. Then I picked up his car and threw it miles into space with little effort. He and his family were stunned. I looked at his wife with a smile. She backed up to the garage door with fear and lust in her eyes. I threw her to the ground and grabbed Larry by the hands. Blushing and giggling, I gave him a kiss on the cheek."I'll see you later Larry, but right now I need to take care of something.I knelt down into the Terminator pose and then jumped up, blasting off into the atmosphere.I came down into the parking lot of my work, leaving a massive crater and burning squirrels in its place.I marched in to find my good for nothing slacker of a boss. The same one who demoted me and took my favorite paper weight."You! You thought you could just tease me with that cute little butt of yours all this time and get away with it? I don't think so!" I said confidently.He cowered in fear. I grabbed him and whipped him around."You're cute when you're scared! Tee Hee!" I giggled.The rest is history. What should have been an ordinary day filled with disappointment and shame, became the first day of the rest of my newfound glorious life. Thank you Surge.

Great stuff. Drank this stuff a lot as a kid, and unlike most of the stuff I liked as a kid, Surge still stands the test of time as a truly outstanding beverage. However, now I can do stuff with it that I couldn't as a child. Like mix it with alcohol. It mixes very well with all the basic liquors and pretty much anything fruity or relatively unflavored. Here's a list of a few drinks I've mixed up with Surge, but it's certainly not all inclusive:Gauss Flare:Fill glass with ice1 part triple sec1 part ginSurge to taste, leaving a little splash roomSplash in Blue Curacao (substitute UV Blue Vodka if you don't like Curacao)Sting Chameleon (not sure of the exact measurements, was one heck of a party, so I'll just list the ingredients)UV Blue VodkaLemon BacardiCoconut RumSurgeSurge also tastes really well in a 2:1 ratio of Surge to liquor with all the essential liquors.However, Surge isn't only good as a mixer, but also as a stand alone beverage. It's got a much clearer, crisper, and satisfying flavor than Mountain Dew, which I can't stand any more. Surge has a nice hint of lime in it's delicious citrus flavor. It's best served chilled, but unlike most soda beverages, it tastes quite adequately at room temperature, and on occasion I grab one on the way to work.It also boosts self esteem and confidence. When you are drinking a can of Surge soda, you feel like you are the coolest raddest dude around. You feel like you can take on anything armed with just your sheer amount of radness. You will feel like you are a bad enough dude to save the president. Drink a Surge before a job interview or a rough day to boost confidence and act more naturally and effectively.All in all, Surge is great stuff. I am on my 3rd shipment of Surge right now, and when it's depleted I am definitely ordering more. I order 3 cases at a time to fill my Pantry box, but I may switch to 6 cases at a time and fill 2 pantry boxes due to the stock waves that Amazon gets sometimes running out and then I am forced to wait a few weeks without my precious Surge before I can order more.

Anyone who buys out Amazon only to resell it at over 1000% markups in most cases is only serving to destroy the hard work the Surge Movement put into bringing it back! What happens when people stop buying your ridiculously priced Surge? You have inventory you cannot move...Coke's projections are then skewed to think that this stuff is actually being consumed at an over-inflated rate...so your short term buying frenzy some how miraculously causes it to be put into production more than through Amazon. Price drops ---> you guys lose this phantom profit you think you should have ----> you stop buying it -----> Coke doesn't sell enough to legitimate drinkers (especially the ones you disillusioned by gouging in the first place) -----> product goes out of production and back into their vault to never be seen again...PLEASE GET COKE AND AMAZON TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM!!! This stuff, once in a favorable production status, should cost no more than $7 per 12-pack of 16oz cans(using a price of $0.03646/fl. oz). Most people already see the higher price tag and will say no and purchase Mt. Dew (they dont see the 192oz per 12 pack instead of 144oz), they just want something cold, sugary, caffeinated, and familiar to drink...You have to understand that in order for this to work in the long term, the public has to want to drink it over Mt. Dew or any other energy type drink out there based on taste and price. I drank this stuff in middle school and high school and would continue to do so. Don't rob us of the continued chance to enjoy this awesome stuff because of short sighted (and short term) profit mongering.... (As posted to the Surge Movement on Facebook) ***ONCE WE CAN ALL ENJOY THIS PRODUCT AS INTENDED AT A FAIR PRICE, I WILL CONSIDER CHANGING MY RATING!-Update: Did manage to get a hold of a case from Monday's release! Anyone who criticized my rating by saying I am calling the product terrible obviously did not read my review. The intent of my review reflects the entire buying experience from Amazon (i.e. If I had not rated it one star to reflect my dissatisfaction for both myself and others, it would have been overshadowed by stupid comments like "I just paid $45 dollars for soda , and I'm not even mad!") Comments like these are entertaining, but they do not really help, even though we are so eager to click on them in agreement.Bottom Line: I LOVE SURGE, ALWAYS HAVE, ALWAYS WILL...Rating changed to 5 stars now...but now my words will disappear...

I bought this product to relive my high school life.Upon arrival, I tore open the packaging and grabbed one of the room-temperature cans and ran outside. My hand shook as I placed my worn Korn cassette in the tape deck of my 1989 Plymouth Grand Voyager for the first time in 18 years. As Johnathan Davis' asked inquisitively if I was ready, I replied in the only way I could.... Yes Mr Davis. Yes I am ready.The left speaker's been blown for as long as I've owned the van, but the tape had been played so many times that you probably couldn't tell anyway. As I cracked the can for the first time and took a sip, Munky's throaty D-tuned guitar pounded in my head. I immediately was angry at my parents for not letting my go to the party on Friday even though, like, EVERYONE is going to be there. They are so completely out of touch, they have no idea who I am anymore. I am so angry.I remembered that Kelly was going to be at the party and I haven't been able to talk to her yet. Phil gave her my beeper number on tuesday in driver's ed, but she hasn't used it yet. I need to find a way to sneak out and get to this party without my parents knowing. I wonder if I put the van in neutral, could I push it down the street far enough so that when I start it, they wouldn't be able to hear my muffler-less rustbucket start... I could totally do this.By the time I finished the can, Side A of the tape was complete. I remembered that there was no party on Friday, but I did have to go to work at the office and would probably be so tired when I got home that after my wife and I finished dinner, we'd just hang out on the couch and watch netflix. I realized that I didn't have a beeper, my parents were right to not let me go to that party, and that I didn't actually own a van anymore...so who's van is this?

I'm halfway through the second can from my order so I think I'm ready to review. If you are 21 or under you will probably never appreciate this soda or understand the fanaticism from it's fans. It is literally nostalgia in a can for 90's kids and was Coca Cola's attempt to dethrone Mountain Dew. It had a huge promotional push in the late 90's that included popular commercials and promotional pricing meaning it was cheap and had among the top levels of caffeine and sugar available in a soda at the time, and remember this was before energy drinks and Starbucks so teens pretty much turned to chugging soda to get that rush that is so easy to obtain today.I also remember a promotion where you won free 20 ozs under the cap with frequent success and yes you had a chance to win more free Surge from the Surge you got for free, bottom line the stuff was flowing like it was water.As for the product now it still tastes great but my memories were of it having more tang to it, it has been a long time though. I would also like to see Vault come back since it was similar but never quite the same. The price and availability has got to improve though, I have no idea why Coke doesn't think this stuff will sell on store shelves The pint cans are a nice touch and add a little more value (12 16 oz= 15 12 oz) it's still not worth 30+ dollars.Since some people would like to know the stats on it compared to MD, Surge has 69 mg of caffeine, 56 grams of sugar and 230 cals in a 16 oz, remember its only in the large cans for now, while MD Throwback has 54 mgs caff, 44 g sugar and 170 cal in the 12 oz standard can, all those numbers should be about the same for your HFCS Mountain Dew and since I've still got one on hand, MD Baja Blast has all the same stats as the other except a 58 mg caffeine content rating it slightly higher.

Imagine it, if you will...You have hunted and killed every last unicorn in existence and taken only their horns, leaving the rest to waste.Gaia, Mother of Earth and Nature, appears and weeps as she gazes upon your atrocities.Seraphim descend from on high to bear teary-eyed witness to your works.The gods and goddesses of love and laughter rend their clothes and bemoan the loss of such magic in the world.Every pantheon, from Mt. Olympus to the Court of Xenu, assemble together to mourn the tragedy that is the passing of such perfect creatures....and you murder them all with your collection of unicorn horns fashioned into a righteous warhammer of bloody, gagging, bone-crushing god-death. You stand knee-deep in an ever increasing murder fluid puddle surrounded by the twitching, broken shells of former religious icons that are now reduced to nothing more than just another notch on your bedpost of easily slain enemies that had begged for death before your rage had subsided. You gaze around, beaming with approval, and retrieve the halo of every fallen angel to forge a goblet worthy of your grasp. As you mold your Goblet of Awesome +1, Zeus, with his final breath, brings down a pillar of god lightning upon you. Its energy is easily deflected into the battle strewn murk you stand in; however, it knocks your dead angel trophy chalice from your hand into the same aforementioned, (now holy lightning charged), murk. The murk hums and swirls with eager anticipation, as if it knows what is about to bring forth. You take the full goblet and swirling, excited murdermurk as a sign and drink greedily to behold the greatest refreshment this world or any other has ever known or will ever know- the one and only Surge. At some point, a rep from Coke arrived and decided to market it. But that is a story for another day...Why is it green?Leprechaun Sp*#k. Who cares, it's delicious! Quit worrying about aesthetics, you racist.

I finally cracked open that first can and it was magical! I am generally not a citrus soda person, so for me Surge is like a time machine; I took that first sip and I was transported through time. I was 11yrs. old again and my biggest worries were "I don't get math" and "I want to be pretty, popular and have a boyfriend." And I had just come in from playing outside in the cornfield with my two best friends...we're standing around the kitchen sink, laughing about I don't know what and I'm drinking a small Dixie cup of Surge (My mom didn't really allow soda unless it was for a treat or special occasion and she'd limit how much of it I drank). We hang out inside for a while, listening to the Spice Girls, talking about crushes and what 6th grade will be like.For me the taste of Surge has never been the reason why I drank it-it was the popular soda at the time and I wanted nothing more than to be popular. As an adult, I still don't like citrus flavored sodas, but I drink Surge for the nostalgia and because while I'm drinking it, I'm an 11yr. old girl and my biggest problems in life do not involve paying bills, how to afford groceries this week, car maintenance or the myriad of other worries jumping around in my brain.No, this product is not in any sense of the word "healthy." But fans of the soda, like myself are drinking it for the nostalgia and not for the nutrition...or lack there of. Yes, we know that all the chemicals are bad for us. It's called moderation.This was the "it" soda when I was a kid. I miss the 90's! Hoping Coca-Cola will keep Surge around for a while.It brings back some of the best memories and because of that, I give it 5 stars.

I was so happy to see that Surge came back! And then I was sad to see that it sold out so quickly and scalpers were selling it for four thousand dollars a can (approx.). However, I waited and waited and it is finally here again! I woke up on Monday to the notification e-mail from Amazon that Surge had been re-stocked and I squealed as if Luke Perry from 90210 in 1992 had just sauntered into my bedroom, perched on the edge of my bed and begun strumming "Here Comes the Sun," by the Beatles on a guitar that he named after me.....sorry, drifted off there for a second. Anyway, yes, the first day my case of Surge arrived I drank four cans. Four. On a side note, I am a person that does not generally drink a lot of soda, I find it overall to be too carbonated and don't like how much it burns. Surge, however, does not burn, it is perfectly carbonated and delicious. Thank you, Coke! On a new side note, I have an idea for a commercial: Ok, so we travel to the top Mount Olympus, and the circle of god are sitting around, bored in their palace of white pillars. Suddenly, Mercury runs in and holds up a can of Surge and shouts "Last one!!" and the gods all give each other knowing smiles and suddenly, woah, everybody has laser guns (ooh, ooh, and Hera totally catches Zeus giving the eye to some scantily-clad god-chaser and lasers the bimbo, and then turns around to glare at him while he gives the "whatta you gonna do" shrug) anyway, after a few scenes of neon-blast colored chasing, Mercury (he has the winged shoes, so I think he would win, but you could change that part) plops down in Zeus' chair and pops the cap on his Surge and takes a looong swig before smiling at the camera - Feel the Rush.

First off, it didn't come in a Surge box. Apparently restraints were necessary. It was wrapped in bubble wrap inside the Amazon box. I guess it got angry on the way and broke out of the box and threatened the delivery truck driver. No problems though. I sang it a few lullabies so its happy again.It tastes exactly as I remember, though I was only a child back then... and not quite able to put words to the feelings I was experiencing so long ago. Now that I've lived and loved in this world a bit, I'm still at a loss to fully describe the Surgeness of it all. It tastes like what I imagine the humidity of a recording studio would taste like after cutting a duet with Jesus and the Sun.I'm not sure where this stuff comes from but I just assume they built a bottling company somewhere beneath wherever Captain America throws his gym towels after a long workout.Anyways, I can fly now and bears are afraid of me.Also, and possibly un-related... literally the day after the Surge was delivered our coffee pot stopped working. Not sure if the Surge broke it or if it just quit before it got fired.Doesn't matter... I put this stuff in my shampoo bottles and my hair knows Japanese sword making somehow.I think we'll be ok without coffee.
