Welcome one and all to the 26th edition of SaveSURGE
News! It's the place where SURGE is everything.
Squint Hard Enough & You Might See SURGE
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, maybe it's not on every store shelf in America anymore (although
we're working on it), but there are still plenty of SURGE
Sightings to report!
There have been 8 new SURGE Sightings since the
last edition of SaveSURGE News. They are in: CA, CT, FL, OK, PA,
TX & VA (2).
Also, we have a small request. Some folks have
been kind enough to post new Sightings on the SaveSURGE.org Bulletin
Board. While we do appreciate the Sightings, we don't always get
a chance to check the board as often as we'd like. E-mail is usually
your best bet to get the quickest response from us. You can e-mail
us your SURGE Sightings, or anything else for that matter at: surge@savesurge.org
Thanks to everyone who has given us a Sighting!
SURGE Brings Romance
-------------------------------------
Recently, we at SaveSURGE.org received a letter from Jason, who
shared the story of how SURGE has a very special meaning for him
and his girlfriend:
"I am writing from Normal, Illinois (central
IL). First, I must say that I am rather impressed with your website
and more importantly, the support of other Surge lovers. I had no
idea that Surge was still being produced until reading through the
site. The motivation for my sudden search for Surge is a rather
interesting story. As mentioned before, I was under the impression
that Surge was no longer in production, so it was based on this
understanding that I made a bet with my wonderful girlfriend about
two weeks ago. We were on the subject of marriage (yikes!), when
she asked what she had to do to get me to marry her. Even though
she is the woman of my dreams, I hastily said the first thing that
came to mind to delay the inevitable. I said, "If you get me
some Surge, I'll marry you." While it initially started off
based on a joke, she has made it her quest to find some. As far
as I know she has been unsuccessful in her quest so far. At this
point, you may wonder why I am writing. The reason is that I want
to acquire some Surge (fast) for two reasons. Obviously, I miss
drinking my favorite beverage, but secondly I want to help Emily
on her quest. I would love to sit down to a fine dinner in a restaurant
and have the waiter bring out two bubbling beverages of green Surge!"
So, as we have done many times, we ask you, loyal
SURGE lovers to help Jason and Emily in their quest for a fully
loaded romantic evening (with carbos)! If you know of any places
in the great state of Illinois currently serving SURGE, or are willing
to part with some of your private stash, please e-mail us at surge@savesurge.org
and we will in turn share your letter with Jason.
Even More Love
-----------------------
Yes, indeed! SaveSURGE.org's For
the Love of SURGE section has been blessed with three new additions:
- First, Mike from Rhode Island shares some
pictures of his 2 ½ hour road trip to Newington, CT to
get some citrus bliss.
- Next, our friends at http://www.chibinet.com
sent in a photographic essay chronicling their SURGE adventure.
They crossed state lines in order to buy lots and lots of SURGE
for their friend's bachelor party! It's definitely a must see,
one of a kind exhibit.
- Finally, my friend Tim (visit him at http://www.thepears.com)
handed me a very cool piece of SURGE memorabilia. It's an actual
SURGE promotional container that was used in a convenience store
to serve customers that great green soda! It's an original and
it even sports the very first SURGE logo. I snapped some photos
for your viewing pleasure.
