FEED THE RUSH!?
Continuing in the proud tradition of
modern hypercaffeination, SURGE was introduced in the United
States in January 1997 by
Coca-Cola .
SURGE, which Coke claims as its answer to Pepsi's Mountain
Dew, is now available in over 200 metro areas, which is about 60% of
the United States. Here in N. Carolina,
SURGE was officially introduced January 1,
1998.
| SURGE
is available in a 12-ounce can featuring a wide mouth end in singles, 6-packs,
12-packs and 24-packs; a new 20-ounce proprietary bottle, and one and two
liters. Combined with the bold citrus taste and low carbonation, the wide
mouth can enhances the quick "drinkability" of SURGE. Also,
SURGE is BRIGHT GREEN! It looks cool!
Bottom line: If you like green Kool-Aid, you'll love SURGE! |

CAFFEINE CONTENT
SURGE contains about 52.5 milligrams of caffeine per 12 ounce serving. By comparison, Mountain Dew has about 55 mg of caffeine.
In addition, SURGE contains, per 12 ounce serving, 45.5 grams of carbos, including 42 g of sugar.
Bob's personal evaluation of
SURGE:
 |
By accident, a local department
store happened to put SURGE in the fountain drink thingey,
so naturally I had to gave it a try. A guy I know that had tried
SURGE told me that it tastes kind of like Fresca. It doesn't.
It has a very citrusey flavor, but it is completely different from any other
citrus-flavored soda on the market.
Actually, I think it tastes like Lime Jell-O. |
