7 Question Interview with Jim Halvorson
Jim Halvorson is a man who's worked very hard to bring the soda he loves back to store shelves everywhere. He's always in contact with a Coca-Cola bottler or a local business requesting that SURGE be returned to its rightful place. His efforts to bring back the soda he loves puts him in a class with the all time greats. He shares his thoughts on being inducted into the Hall of Fame and the wonders of SURGE below:

1. How does it feel to be recognized in a Hall of Fame?
It feels awesome! I am so grateful to be it the Hall of fame with such Surge fans.

2. How has SURGE changed your life?
Made me believe that there is a god. No, kidding. It has made me very passionate about the things I care about. Now I fight for things I believe in.

3. If Coca-Cola asked you why SURGE should be brought back, what would you say to them?
Dear Coke, You need to bring back Surge to the masses. Many thousand, if not millions of people love it. I dream about it night and day and can't wait to get my hands on some again. Please stop messing with ridiculous beverages like tropical remix Sprite and try marketing Surge again. Trust me, you won't be sorry.

4. Do you have a favorite SURGE-related memory?
I remember my friend Travis and I drinking many many 20-ounces while playing guitar and Nintendo. We would be so wired all night long.

5. What gives you hope that SURGE will be brought back?
Probably all the sighting and great fans that ask around if stores can get some.

6. How would you describe the taste of SURGE compared to other citrus sodas (Mountain Dew, Squirt, Mello Yello, etc.)? Describe what makes SURGE so unique.
All the other drinks don't compare. They are either too citrusy or don't have enough fizz. Surge is unique because it has bite and it is so much smoother.

7. Lastly, why do you think you are being inducted into the SaveSURGE.org
Hall of Fame?

I hope it's because I give updates on sightings, Ebay auction notices, I started the Save Surge Yahoo group page, and I love the Surge more than anything.
