Got mine earlier. Put one in the fridge to enjoy in about an hour

 

[Doffen]

I remember buying these in Norway, I don't think they ever stopped selling them there?

Urge got re-introduced in Norway back in 2008 due to a Facebook campaign.
We also got Urge Intense.

 

[Neverfade]

Got mine today. I was never big in to Surge and now I remember why. It kind of reminds of Mellow Yellow with a hint of Fresca. That's not to say it's bad, but.... the hype train derailed on this one.

Who wants 11 cans for 50 bucks?

 

[DrForester]

And UPS lost my fucking package....

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

It's shipping!!!

 

[nilbog21]

Where is Coca-Cola Life I was promised???

 

[DrForester]

And UPS tells me to fuck off, and then Amazon gives me my money back and tells me to fuck off.

I wonder how long it will take for this to be back in stock...

Haha... Dude, you know the young dudes who load the shipments drank it.

 

[Snkfanatic]

This is not a 90s drink - it was out from 2006-2007. And I never got to try it.

This was the main competitor for Surge, for me:

Josta won every time, honestly. Such a unique and amazing flavor.

Sounds like nobody else was a Hires root beer fan?

Anybody ever heard of a brief Surge/Josta contemporary soda called "Key the Dog"? It was around for about a year in my area, a light blue grape-flavored soda with some kind of bulldog mascot...

Wow haven't thought about Josta in a long time. Loved that one.

 

[graywords]

Wow haven't thought about Josta in a long time. Loved that one.

Josta, of all 90s sodas, deserves a comeback.

My Surge order still hasn't shipped. It's been pending since I ordered on day 1. Not even angry, I'd rather delay the pleasure than pay $10+ shipping per case.

 

[Nintendont]

$200? the fuck?

 

[NoTacos]

$200? the fuck?

yo was just about to post this. wtf.

 

[Northeastmonk]

$200? the fuck?

Coca-Cola must have one machine in the entire world producing Surge.

Well, at least the guys on that truck got to drink some Surge.

 

[MultiCore]

I ordered three cases, can't stop drinking it.

Very refreshing, like a pleasant blend between squirt and mt dew. I mixed some with pineapple juice, amazing.

All three cases damaged in shipping though, one can actually drained.

 

[bcl0328]

why is it $250?

 

[BattleMonkey]

Buy Sun Drop, its better

 

[jediyoshi]

why is it $250?

Those are other merchants just selling through Amazon

 

[Sean]

I never understood why they don't just put Surge in their Coca-Cola freestyle machines?

That seems like a cheap and easy way to gauge demand.

 

[Dice]

When I was 12 I would walk to the local shop and buy a can of Surge and a Little Debbie Zebra Cake and enjoy it before rollerblading off tables and stairs.

Being a grown man now, I'm pretty sure that sugary combo would make me ill. *makes some coffee* Still have that bum knee from the bike stunt.

 

[Rorschach]

*scratches head* I remember it being terrible.

You either have a terrible memory or terrible taste. Pick one.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Got mine in today. The Surge is working!

 

[Man God]

Vault is better.

 

[Jarrod38]

For the people who ordered it and have gotten how did it hold up during shipping?

 

[Dereck]

lmao

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

For the people who ordered it and have gotten how did it hold up during shipping?

Looked perfect when it got here. No dents. Box was fine. Plastic still together without any breaks.

 

[Iadien]

*scratches head* I remember it being terrible.

You're remembering correctly. it's awful.

 

[MultiCore]

For the people who ordered it and have gotten how did it hold up during shipping?

My issue was having ordered 3 cases. 1 would have probably been fine.

Vault is better.

I drank a lot of Vault. This is better.

 

[blamite]

Ball's in your court Pepsi. Where's my Pepsi Blue!?

(I'll also settle for Summer Mix, although that'll probably have to wait until next year...)

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

Let's give New Coke another try. I want to know what disaster tastes like.

 

[injurai]

 

[Niraj]

For the people who ordered it and have gotten how did it hold up during shipping?

No issues at all.

 

[The Last Wizard]

Just looked it up. I guess it was Shasta cola?

EDIT: Yeah, and I remember looking at the bottom of the can from the top, and there being a picture of the character inside too. So that makes sense why the label says "look inside". Damn. For the longest time I thought this was fake, and my memory was messed up.

This! I want this now, I need it!
I remember getting the luigi and yoshi ones when I was a kid.

 

[omgkitty]

It's back up. GO GO GO

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

It's back up. GO GO GO

Gone again. Drinking Surge again and the fappening are like two universes merging. So surreal.....

 

[morningbus]

Just looked and it appears to be there for me.

???

It's up for 14.00. I just bought one

 

[ink4n3]

I don't drink regular soda anymore so this will probably taste super sweet, but I have to give it another try. It's been so long.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Yeah, the site is floating in and out for me with stock availability....

 

[biggersmaller]

I do wonder how close the formula sticks to the original. "The same great taste" line could just be a tweaked Mello Yellow in a different can.

???

I did, too. We'll see if our orders stick.

 

[morningbus]

While they could obviously just do that, they do have the original formula sitting there and it's not like it contains hard to obtain or even unique ingredients.

It'd actually probably be more work to create a new tweaked version of mello yello that is close enough to the other formula to not tip off the die-hard fans than to just use the already existing formula.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Bought a case to try it. Hope it's good

 

[Kobe24]

Was able to get it just now

 

[omgkitty]

I do wonder how close the formula sticks to the original. "The same great taste" line could just be a tweaked Mello Yellow in a different can.

It may have been discussed in this thread already, but why would they need to change the formula? Or, is it just because the Surge and Vault formulas different even though they tasted similar? I had always thought Surge had been pulled due to health issues. Just child rumors I guess.

 

[AbsolutBro]

Just ordered!

 

[shoplifter]

It tastes like Surge to me.

 

[ryseing]

Where is Coca-Cola Life I was promised???

Exclusive to Fresh Market until October. Bought a case last week. Not bad.

 

[lobdale]

IN FOR FIVE

AHAHAH!!!!!!

 

[DrForester]

Today I learned that Amazon's "notify me" option is fucking worthless. First shipment gets "lost" and then I miss out on the restock.
