Surge Citrus Flavored Soda 16 oz. 12-pack

Surge Citrus Flavored Soda 16 oz. 12 Cans

My high school years overlapped with Surge’s 1997-2003 existence. A quality Friday night involved my friends and me ordering pizza and drinking this bold green nectar of the gods while we played multiplayer Goldeneye on N64.

Coca-Cola made some minor changes to the formula, but it tastes exactly like I remember. This probably isn’t something you order if you didn’t grow up with it, but for the uninitiated, it’s a bright green citrus soda that is like a cross between Mountain Dew and Mello Yello but with a flavor that is as sweet as it is sour. The caffeine content is comparable to other citrus sodas.

They did bring Surge back in single 16 oz. cans for sale in convenience stores several years ago, but it has since disappeared again from retail shelves, however it is available in Burger King’s Coca-Cola Freestyle fountain machines.

It’s certainly more pricey than it was back in the day even when you adjust for inflation, but keep in mind that they’re shipping a pretty heavy package for free if you have Prime.
