Hello SURGE & Vault fans and welcome to the Kick and Rush Gazette! It’s your #1 source for all things related to both Vault and SURGE citrus sodas.
Congratulations Garrett R. of Searcy, AR!
Garrett’s entry of “The Kick and Rush Gazette” was chosen as the winner of the Name Our Newsletter contest! The name has a nice ring to it, eh? He will be receiving a full can of delicious Vault in the mail in the coming weeks.
Avery & I would like to thank all of you who entered. In all, we had nearly 50 entries and many of them were very creative. It was indeed difficult to choose a winner.
Watch for another contest coming your way very soon!
Convince Coke to Sell Us Vault!
It’s once again time for all of us to become “soda activists”! We’re asking fans everywhere to call Coca-Cola toll free at 1-800-GET-COKE and request that they start selling Vault on a nationwide basis.
This is indeed a fight we can win! Call them as many times as you can and tell them how much you want Vault in your hometown.

Vault’s Distribution Expanding?
We received some Vault Sightings recently that suggest our new favorite hybrid is showing up in some new areas! Sightings in both Dalton, GA and Rich Creek, WV may mean that Coca-Cola is expanding Vault’s test-marketing.
There have been rumors floating around of late that suggest the testing will expand to 20 states by the end of July. However, we have been unable to confirm these speculations. We are currently attempting to find out if Coca-Cola indeed has plans to increase Vault’s availability.

Vault Selling Well in Michigan
A recent article found in the Mt. Pleasant/Alma Morning Sun notes that Vault is selling well in Michigan. The article was written about a skateboarding competition in the area and mentioned that the Vault Truck was seen for the first time.
A Coca-Cola bottler spokesman said "We've been getting an excellent response. It's exceeded our forecasted numbers. It's a direct competitor to Mountain Dew."
This is great news! We’re hoping that all of the test-markets are experiencing similar success.
