Fans thirsty for a taste of ‘90s nostalgia – or those who are simply craving a citrus-flavored sparkling beverage with a kick – can rejoice in the news that SURGE is back after a 12-year hiatus.SURGE, which debuted in 1996 and taken off the market in the early 2000s, is making a comeback thanks, in part, to a passionate and persistent community of brand loyalists who have been lobbying The Coca-Cola Company to bring back their favorite drink over the last few years. SURGE is Coke’s first discontinued brand to return to the market.
The SURGE re-launch represents two additional firsts for Coke. The brand, which will be offered in its original formula in 12-packs of 16-oz. cans featuring the same retro design from yesteryear, is part of an innovative distribution deal between Coca-Cola and Amazon. A limited supply of SURGE will be sold exclusively through the online retailer atwww.amazon.com/surge, marking the first time Coke has distributed a product solely through e-commerce.

Yes!!!!!!!!

 

[Mr Janny]

are they bringing it back with the pulp/sediment? because it's not Surge unless there's a bunch of crap settled at the bottom of the bottle.

Nice! That was my go-to soda at restaurants with Coke fountains. I've missed it!

I don't really have that much of a desire to drink it, but am really happy about this for the nostalgia boost.

Hooray for milk-curdling fun :v_SPIN:

I don't drink sugary drinks any more. That will change. I am buying it.

What about Jolt Cola? Is that still available?

 

[Bigman38]

I remember it being awesome as a kid, but for some reason I'm guessing it sucks now.

That's why you shake if before drinking. If you don't than all of the amphetamines settle out. :smile:

 

[tim_redd]

Wasn't that vault soda the same thing?

I'm feeling the same way. Of course, I will still order some up just to confirm.

 

[PabloDiablo]

Lol'd at this one. Good stuff Bret.

What about Jolt Cola? Is that still available?

As of 5-6 years ago Jolt was still available--sold in 24 oz cans with a domed screw lid designed to mimic a giant AA battery. I haven't seen it in a while, though... looks like the US company may have gone bust but still available in other parts of the world. Jolt blue (I don't think it technically had a flavor) was probably 80%+ of my dining dollar spending my freshman and sophomore years in the dorms.

I miss Jolt and Pepsi AM. I remember someone handing out free cans of Surge after a FB game in the parking lots once. Probably right when it came out.

I remember that they were handing out Orbitz one time after a basketball game. Nothing like drinking solids! That stuff was good though...

 

[FarminCy]

Sweet!!!!! I plan on wearing a pair of Airwalk shoes to go buy some!!!!!

Edit. Just saw it is only available on Amazon. I will wear my Airwalk shoes and listen to Weezer on computer while I do my ordering!!!! I may even play of game of pogs once my Surge comes in.

 

[NickTheGreat]

I'll try it once, just to see if it is the same at all.

My friend worked at a gas station and he got us access to it cheap as it was being discontinued. We drank so much of that crap :twitcy:

Inb4 I thought this was the ISIS surge.
