Outdated Websites Can Break Hearts
-------------------------------------------------------
Every so often I will hit the search engines, looking for new SURGE
info to share with you. Recently, I found a company called My Web
Grocer (http://www.mywebgrocer.com),
which specializes in setting up online grocery stores for retailers
around the country. The basic idea of the online grocery stores
is that people can go to the site, order their groceries and then
pick them up (or have them delivered) later on in the day.
I checked out their listing of the online stores
they run and I was amazed to find that there are 29 of them all
across the country! Of course, this excited me because I figured
at least one of them has to have SURGE, right?
I found a store that was about 2 hours away from
me, but only a few minutes from SaveSURGE.org's loyal contributor,
Shepard, who will come in a little later on. Browsing through their
site, my jaw dropped as, yes indeed, they listed SURGE among their
many sodas!!!! 6 packs, 2 liters and oh yes, 12 packs! I couldn't
believe what my eyes were seeing. I was already planning my road
trip and also decided to give Shepard a heads up that SURGE was
in his area.
He was kind enough to go and check out the store
so that he could find out if our dreams had come true, and, if they
did, start a SURGE stockpile of his own. Unfortunately, when he
reached the store, Shepard found no SURGE. He was told by some employees
that they recently had 2 liter bottles but they were replaced by
Vanilla Coke. The store's website had not been updated to reflect
the product change.
Even though the dream of SURGE in our area didn't
come true, there still may be hope for you! I'd definitely recommend
that you visit www.mywebgrocer.com
and check out some stores in your region. However, if you find SURGE
listed, know that it could be a mistake. Make sure to contact the
store before packing up that car for the weekend!
All You Need Is Love
------------------------------
Would The Beatles have loved SURGE as much as we do? We can't say
for sure. But another band, Lavidity, certainly loves their citrus
green. They recently sent us a photographic history of the time
they spent with SURGE a few years back which you can see in our
For The Love Of SURGE section.
Be sure to check it out!
Will You Sell Your SURGE?
-----------------------------------------
Tracey wrote to us recently and told the story of how she and her
friend drove 5 hours just to get some SURGE from a fountain in Tipton,
IN! While she really wants to help her friend find some SURGE, 5
hour car trips are a little too inconvenient. She is looking for
places or people in the Chicago area that sell SURGE. If you know
of a place, or if you have a SURGE stockpile for sale, write to
us at surge@savesurge.org
and we'll pass along your info to her.
Until next time, drink 'em if you got 'em!
Sincerely,
Eric Karkovack
