90's food

[Anonymous No.6112187]

So, apparently you can buy Surge on Amazon because Coca-Cola recognized a demand to bring it back. This is the first time it has been available in 12 years.

Is this stuff really as good as people hype it up to be? Or are they just ejaculating about it because it's a 90's relic and everyone needs to justify their existence as a '90's kid'?

I've had Surge before but I was pretty young and it was a long time ago. I'm 22 now.

Have you had it recently? Is it just a glorified Mountain Dew?

Yeah, no, there's lots of stuff that's been discontinued and was demonstrably awesome, just mainstream shit-palates couldn't handle it.

Anyway, I was in my hometown over the holidays and at the mall there's a video game store that had several 16 oz cans of Surge in a little fridge, alongside Bawls and energy drinks. I bought a can for $2.49 - yeah, markup, but I wanted to see if it was as I remembered.

It was. Sweet, tart, and delicious, just like it used to be. As far as I can tell they didn't change a thing, which is kind of a miracle. I assume the store got it off Amazon.

It's not even the same kind of soda as those. It actually has a tart citrus taste instead of the smooth sweetness you get with all the sodas you listed.

I didn't even know Mountain Dew was originally a "citrus" soda until I researched a bit. I'd never guess that from the taste alone.
