  • EDIT: at the time of the publishing of the article I used as research for this video, it claimed Surge was still available through Wal-Mart, Instacart, and Amazon, but it also made note that it was often listed as ‘out of stock’. However, it seems that it’s been out of stock at all three of these retailers consistently now for some time, so apologies if this info has been misleading in anyway. Here’s to hoping Surge gets a second revival!
    Some brief history about the forever nostalgic Coca Cola product, Surge Soda.

    Ngl I was actually suprised that Mountain Dew actually came out wayyy back in those times. 😲 It’s just so surprising to me because I always thought a drink like Mountain Dew would be made in the modern timeline. Given it’s new logo and all that it just really fits well with the drink as I think it gives it its edge and it looks really cool too.

    During my time at university, one of my few saving graces was that the town had a burger king that had surge still. I became known as Surge Guy because i would order a large surge and nothing else. My last day in town before graduating, i took my gf to go try it and they told me they finally stopped getting the syrup in and no longer had it. On December 2 2023 the green light went out of my life

      @@tymforhistory sadly I haven't tasted surge, but I would describe urge as a mix of mostly orange and lemon, with some grapefruit and a tiny bit of mango. In Norway, the soda has a murky piss color, and surge is green, so maybe its not even the same soda?

      @@tymforhistory I'm Norwegian and I have tasted both Urge (it's everywhere here) and Surge.
      Surge is... "lesser of taste", so to say.
      You know when you drink a cheap energy drink, and you think to youself "Hm, this tastes like a watered-down Redbull. It is not a Redbull, but the taste is vaugly there". That's how Surge is compared to Urge in my opinion.

    4:15 this isn't true, Surge isn't available anywhere, they do show up on these websites as "out of stock" and I've been checking for years just in case they go back into stock, Lol

      Thanks for pointing this out. At the time the article was published, it was available at those 3 locations. I checked the stores when researching and saw 'out of stock' but it wasn't for certain if that was temporary or permanent. Seems like it's permanent at this point.

      Great question. I think Sprite and Sierra Mist fall under the Lemon Lime category and Mtn Dew and Surge cover the heavy citrus category.
