Remember that soft drink? It was as caffeinated as Mountain Dew but tasted so much better. IMO, it was the best soft drink on the market. It was popular in the late 90s. I believe it was a Coke product. What happened to it?

The better question is...What happened to "TATO SKINS??!!"
You cant buy them at the grocery store anymore. You can only get the little single serving bags at hotels, etc.

Re: Whatever happened to Surge?
Hmm interestingly it was first introduced in Norway.
Here's answer to your question from wiki:
Surge (also SURGE) is a citrus soft drink first introduced in Norway, under the name Urge (1996), by the Coca-Cola Company to compete with Pepsi's Mountain Dew. However, while Mountain Dew is a yellow color, Surge is green in color. It became very popular in Norway. In 1997, Coca-Cola decided to start making it in USA under the name Surge, although in Denmark and Sweden, the name remained Urge. In the USA, the product did very well for the first few years, but eventually started to slip in sales. The Coca-Cola company has since ceased production of this beverage in the USA, Denmark and Sweden in 2001 and stopped making the syrup for fountains in 2002. Norway is the only country where you can still buy this soft drinkMember of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Re: Whatever happened to Surge?
I remember first seeing Surge back when the ride Invertigo first opened at Paramount's Great America. They had Surge vending machines all throughout the long lines there. I never drank it, though... I was allergic to dyes at the time.
A couple of years ago, I remember asking the exact same question that you did. I have no idea what happened to it.Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60Comment

In case you haven't tried it before, you need to drink some Vault. It is basically Surge with a different name.Comment

Re: Whatever happened to Surge?
According to that wiki-article, Vault has a similar taste. I dont really remember Surge, though... I've always prefered colas over clear and yellow pop.Originally posted by DaImmaculateONeComment
