Have you seen this? Fan club wants to bring back Surge soda.

Anyone else remember that disgusting stuff. Or their wacko commercials with the teen kids standing in the streets yelling SURGE!!!.

I'd rather eat a McRib...

2. How dare you, I'd take a trip on memory lane if they brought those back

Ahh 4th grade, so innocent yet not so in many ways. The first dance, ahh man to go back then.

4. For me I was a drunken college drop out when that stuff came out

I remember it as one of the worst tasting sodas ever!

Especially on a cold, hung over morning when I had to get up early for work, and there was nothing else in the fridge.

3. I didn't know they stopped making it!

Well. I'll be.

Does McDonald's still have those sandwiches in the special container that "keeps the hot side hot, and the cool side cool"? I remember eating one in a charter bus coming home from college, right around 1989.

12. The article says it only been available in fountain form

It also says the year it was introduce was it's highest year for sales, so that must say something.

13. I'm all for bringing back aspen cola

Pepsi test marketed Aspen on the west coast way back in the early 1970's, and because it was my favorite soda ever... it was a dismal failure and they pulled it after a year. Apple flavored pepsi, not oversweet.

Why stop with surge? Why not bring back JOLT cola to every convenience store? Jolt: All the sugar and twice the caffeine as a regular soda.

16. They said the website had recipes to make your own surge...here's mine

Buy a bottle of no-doze (100-pill size)
A 2 litter bottle of sprite
Crumble up the entire bottle of No-doze and add to sprite. Shake gently
