that's right, children

SURGE, the green energy soda that's not quite as good as Vault, does still exist!

and you can probably get some right now (as long as you live near a Burger King)

SURGE is still available, but EXCLUSIVELY at Burger King, and EXCLUSIVELY in Burger Kings with Coca Cola Freestyle machines

i know what you're gonna say next

"oh fat4all, you sexy chap I HAVE the burger king app, and I USE the burger king website to order ahead, and there is ZERO OPTION for SURGE, you fucking homewrecking vessel of lies"

a ha ha ha, you rube, you fucking idiot

THE BURGER KING APP AND WEBSITE DONT LIST SURGE BECAUSE IT SUCKS DICK

(the app is actually ok, it just doesnt list SURGE for some fucking reason)

You must go to the Burger King PHYSICALLY, and that Burger King MUST have a Coca Cola Freestyle machine

that's right, no SURGE deliveries, sorry grubhubbers

i know because i just did so today, im slurping on a SURGE right now, eating a Fanceroni Pizza from Little Caesars, and living my best life until i die of heart disease

- is this a guarantee at every single Burger King? probably not
- will it fill the Vault shaped hole in your heart? fuck no

but its worth a shot if you want some of that good good green energy soda (that's not as good as Vault)

I had dunkaroos again recently for the first time since the 90s and they were awful. I'm worried that if I try Surge again (also would be first since the 90s) I'll find it awful as well.

I am cursed.

Somewhere deep in the bureaucracy, a disheveled little man is signing endless paperwork to keep Surge alive however he can.

Why did surge go away before? Just before it's time? The taste? I remember seeing it everywhere in the 90s but I remember nothing else about it.

Is surge considered an energy drink? I thought it just had a fuckton of caffeine in it

When I was in high school there was a machine across the street that dispensed cans of surge exclusively for 25 cents a pop. 🎵 Those were the days 🎵

it's basically mountain dew. More caffeine than most soda, but still significantly less than Vault or things sold as energy drinks.

Used to love Surge and Josta back in the late 90s. I cut out 99% of soda nowadays, but recently tried Coca-Cole Crème Soda at White Castle and it was really good. It was exclusive to White Castle, but I think BK has it now in their freestyle machines. I was at 5 Guys this week and checked their freestyle machine after I had already ordered just out of curiosity but they did not have it.

Is there a Burger King locator that shows the BKs with these type of fountains or something like that? I've forgotten how Surge tastes.

honestly, i doesnt seem like it

checking the website and app, looking at the menu or more info about a place only tells you the basics

probably the best bet is too call ahead and ask

It pisses me off cans only ever went to Amazon and it isn't back for good i would have love to of seen them evolve it with Surge Zero and like Cherry Surge etc.

I also miss the BK Surge slushy :-(. I will keep my eye out for the freestyle machines though i have been craving Surge for awhile.

There were tons of places nearby that had the cans of surge but they all vanished.

The burger king near us is cursed. I'm not sure the surge is worth it.
