Greetings SURGE fans and welcome the 145th edition of SaveSURGE News! Since 2002, we’ve been the source for SURGE-related news among all Jedi Knights.

Vault Update
This has been a slow week for Vault news. SaveSURGE.org has searched high and low for new information regarding Coca-Cola’s new citrus soda with nothing new to report.

At this point, all we know is that Vault is scheduled to begin its test-marketing on June 1, 2005 in the following states: Alabama, Michigan, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. We’ve also heard rumors that Indiana could also be a test state.

Of course, SURGE fans are very anxious to give this product a try. Many believe that it will be the SURGE formula under a new name. In fact, the excitement level is so high that one fan who lives in North Carolina (one of the testing states) has started his own website and will be shipping out orders of Vault when it comes to his area.

YTCRACKER Raps for SURGE
Folks, this one is a classic! Rapper YTCRACKER (www.ytcracker.com) is “Nerd Rap for the Nintendo Generation” and he’s a big SURGE fan. Now, he’s using his talents to make a difference! His song, “Surgerunner” is one great tribute to that fully loaded citrus soda! It appears on his latest album, “NerdRap Entertainment System”.

We are thrilled to have the original version and a remix available for your listening pleasure!

SURGE Commercials Added
Take a trip down memory lane and watch nine authentic SURGE commercials from back in the day! Whether you prefer the old-skool grunge-inspired spots from 1997-98 or the more laid back ads from 1999-2001, you’re sure to find one of your favorites.

We have now created a new section on the site so that you can access all of the commercials from one page. It’s called SURGE Commercials and it can be found under the For the Love of SURGE menu at the top of every page.

Please note that you will need both RealPlayer and Windows Media Player to watch the commercials. A broadband internet connection doesn’t hurt either!
