I first encountered Surge when I was just a school girl in the summer of 97'. Of course my Mother noted the caffine content, "Girl you dont need to be drinking that - look at all that caffine..." So when the soda machine down the street stocked up on Surge, I had yet to taste it. So one day I decided on my way home from school I would buy a can of Surge - everybody was drinking it! - and I had to be one of them. So I drunk it, I was instantly hooked! I LOVED surge. I came home every afternoon with a full belly of Surge and a smile on my face.
I dropped the ball to my mother "Mom, I've been drinking Surge behind your back....I'm sorry."
"How could you! Umm Kassie I have a confession, I too have been drinking Surge on the down low, that citrusy taste, the caffine, the lean green can. I fell in love - I'm so ashamed"
It was a convosation out of a Soap Opera. So when my mom went shopping two 2 liter bottles were the customary thing.
I remember good times over surge, I had my first kiss in '99 sipping from the same glass of Surge...Ahhh my days with Surge would soon fade away in the summer of 2000 I was entering the 7th grade. I came home as usual looked in the fridge for that familiar siting of Surge, and NO SURGE??!? NO WAY!
I ran to my mom's room, "Mom NO SURGE"
"I know the grocer said they didnt get a shipment in, I went to Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Winn-Dixie.."
"Enough with the hyphenated stores already! ANY LUCK??!"
"Im sorry"
Ok so it wasnt like it was a big deal eventaully my cravings for Surge subdued and my mom became a Diabetic. I lived on happily ever after without Surge? Boy was I wrong. About three years later I was dating a guy named Sergio, they called him "Surge" for short. Why was I attracted to this boy? Subconciously it was because I was craving the citrus flavor of the real deal.
One night me and "Surge" aka Sergio went to Chuckie Cheeses for my Nephew's birthday. Sergio asked me what I would like to drink "I dunno suprise me" I said. Boy was I in for a suprize, I began to sip my green soda...sip one...sip two....sip three "SURGE!!!!!" I yelled. I have to have more!!!!! Four cups later and a water bottle full. My quest for Surge was on.
I researched online I found your webpage, there was hope! I auctioned for a 6 pack of Surge on E-Bay but lost. Then today I went to Chuckie Cheeses RATS they had MELLOW YELLOW. Boy am I mellowed out.
I HAVE TO HAVE SURRRRGEEEEEEEEEEE.
Every now and then my neighbor who owns a sports pub will bring me the syrup from his resteraunt and I'd experiment with some seltzer water and Surge syrup. But it isnt the same. *SIGH*
