Hello once again to all friends of SURGE and welcome
to the 29th edition of SaveSURGE News. Serving you virtual cups
of that sweet green goodness, everyday!
This is a very special edition of our newsletter.
We have some big news to report, so we won't keep you waiting any
longer! Oh, but first, check out our Sightings report:
Seeing SURGE
-----------------------
There have been 4 new SURGE
Sightings since the last edition of SaveSURGE News. They are
in: FL (2), GA & TX.
Unfortunately, there has been one deletion in
Titusville, FL.
Overall, there are currently 135 SURGE Sightings
listed. Thanks to all you who look for SURGE wherever you go!
The Big News
---------------------
Well, you've waited patiently and now the announcement: SaveSURGE.org
was mentioned in the 11/01/02 edition of the world-famous Atlanta
Journal-Constitution newspaper! Reporter Scott Leith covers Coca-Cola
for the AJC and wrote a small article about the best little SURGE
site in the world. You can read the article at the AJC's website:
http://www.accessatlanta.com/ajc/business/coke/1102/01surge.html
We are absolutely thrilled to be mentioned in
such a respected news source and most importantly, the plight of
SURGE is getting some much-deserved attention! An article about
our favorite fully loaded citrus soda appearing in Coca-Cola's hometown
newspaper is bound to make an impact.
One thing mentioned in the article that we must
clear up is that the SaveSURGE petition was actually started by
our good friend, Timb the Enchanter (visit him at http://www.enchantogen.com/
). Timb, along with Marcus from www.misinformer.com
were the first two people to contribute to SaveSURGE.org, so many
props need to go out to them! Amen.
Love, Love, Love
------------------------
Now, it's time to talk about a couple of great additions to our
For the Love of SURGE section.
First, Will submitted a photo of his very rare
and unusual piece of SURGE memorabilia. It's an inflatable SURGE
can, which uses the old-school logo and stands about 30 inches tall.
Definitely worth checking out!
Then, we heard from Danielle, who was kind enough
to share her recipe for home made SURGE. As you might recall, we
listed a recipe from Ed a few months back. It would be quite interesting
to try both recipes and see which one works best.
Bottler of the Week
-----------------------------
Get out those stamps and envelopes, it's time for the SaveSURGE.org
Bottler of the Week! As you know, each week we pick a new Coca-Cola
bottler for you to contact and let them know that we want SURGE
back on every shelf in every store in the USA.
This week, the honor goes to that place we affectionately
refer to as "Music City". That's right, it's Nashville,
TN! Here's their contact info:
Coca-Cola Bottling Company Consolidated
1900 Rexford Rd.
Charlotte, NC 28211
For your convenience we've provided a form letter
that you can just print, sign and mail on our How
You Can Help page.
Would you like your local Coca-Cola bottler to
be the next SaveSURGE.org Bottler of the Week? If so, e-mail us
your name, hometown, zip code and any bottler information you might
have (it's ok if you don't know who your bottler is, we should be
able to locate it for you) to us at: surge@savesurge.org
That's all the time we have for this week. Avery & I would like
to thank all of you because, hey, without you, there would be no
SaveSURGE.org!
Have a great week everybody!
Sincerely,
Eric Karkovack
Co-Webmaster
