Surge

u/JeanClaudeRandam 11d ago edited 11d ago

It still exists in the Scandinavian countries I visited. No ‘S’ tho, just Urge.

u/Brief-Suggestion-424 11d ago

Can confirm.

u/hasan_pikergayAF 11d ago

Damn $29 for one Urge lol

u/NullSmoke 11d ago edited 11d ago

29.90,- NOK, not USD.... Though, if you're willing to pay 30 USD for it, I can probably help you there 🤑

u/CoyoteGeneral926 11d ago

If that's Swedish currency that's about $3.15 USA

Urge is the Original that was developed by Coca Cola Norway in 1996, Surge is the American version that was launched 1 year later. Urge currently have a 10% market share here.

u/DonkeyKongah 11d ago

Pepsi Blue. Y'all forgot how good that was.

u/AnOrdinaryMammal 11d ago

Can’t believe I used to drink that shit, and they sold it in the vending machines at school. I have a feeling I’d think it was gross as an adult.

u/Dragon_Crisis_Core 11d ago

Surge there is no question about it. It was and still is one of the best flavored pops.

I’ve never had any but surge looks fire

You had a chance in the 2010's. Once again, we all turn our back on Jesus.

Surge. That and a bag of pepperoni combos = travel breakfast

u/jimkurth81 11d ago

Surge. It had a short life but I loved it. Even the commercial it had featuring the sofa, Jookie. I can still hear the jingle in my head, “jookie, Jookie. It’s a party in a can. Jookie, Jookie. Jookie make you manly-man.”

I didn't grow up with any of these but the Listerine coloured fruitopia would be really funny

1

u/Cold_Chemistry_1579 11d ago

Absolutely none of them. My teeth are rotting just looking at this

1

u/cushlinkes 11d ago

Fruitopia was awful. That overly sugary shit always gave me crazy acid reflux and just caused my throat to fill with phlegm. Hawaiian Punch does the same thing. Those drinks suck. Anyway, I have no interest in bringing back any of these haha.

1

u/grad1939 11d ago

I remember seeing Surge a few years ago. They must have brought it back for a limited run. I'd bring it back again, because I liked the commercials.

Water. Every single one of those drinks were trash. Straight warmed over dumpster juice.

u/National_Pressure_30 11d ago

Surge…without a doubt

1

u/Lewyn_Forseti 11d ago

None of those drinks were healthy so not counting being bad for my health, I'd bring back blue Pepsi. That stuff was delicious.

How about all of them in a 12 pack?

Squeeze it

u/hufflezag 11d ago

Either Surge or Fruitopia... Man I miss those commercials.

u/New-Bug4225 11d ago

Surge last time I had one was when amazon had brought it back and I bought one at my local comic and gamestore in Virginia. But that was over 9 years ago.

Fruitopia or squeez-it. Hard to decide. The red fruitopia was awesome

1

u/PhotoAppropriate3940 11d ago

I bought a couple of surge last year in a gas station, only got two I case it was wrong but tasted like I remember, when I went back they were gone and kid said they received them by accident and didn’t know if anymore were coming

1

u/FishInk 11d ago

Surge without a question. They brought it back a while ago and bought it every chance I could. It was hard to find in cans on the re-release. Either Wendy’s or Burger King had it in their pick-a-flavor system. I would get it mixed with peach syrup and it was so good.

1

u/drewcandraw 11d ago

Fruitopia is the only one of these four that I ever had, but not this flavor.

Strawberry Passion Awareness in the glass bottle, though? All day.

1

u/RS-X1187 11d ago

Surge.

Pepsi Blue is a close second as I've never had it and wish to try it.

NONE! But then again I never had those. I'd bring back Dublin Dr. Pepper.

It’s not as good as I remember it being when I was a kid. It’s way too sweet. Not as crisp as a Pepsi. Voltage Mountain Dew is a good alternative though.
