National SaveSURGE Month Winding Down - But Not Yet!
This edition of SaveSURGE News is being published on the last Friday in September. That means just one more day to call, write and e-mail for National SaveSURGE Month. The message is still as important as ever and we need you to keep on spreading the word!

Let's make this finale a grand one! SURGE fans you have done such a great job in participating in National SaveSURGE Month. Your letters and phone calls have let Coca-Cola, its bottlers and local businesses who serve Coke products know that SURGE should be right on the top of their priority list. But the month isn't over yet and it's our mission to finish it off with a big bang.

Let's do it one more time. Let's dig a little deeper and make that extra effort. We want SURGE back and we have to do what it takes to make it happen. Now go out there and spread the word!!!!!!

Great news, SURGE fans! If you don't happen to live in the Madison, WI area and missed Avery & Eric's interview on 100X you can now listen online. Your loyal SaveSURGE.org webmasters spent a good 15 minutes with The Bench Jockey's back on 9/9/03 and now everyone can join in the fun. Learn about our first time drinking an ice cold SURGE (it may shock and disgust you!), find out how SaveSURGE.org came about and more!

It's all waiting there for you in the SURGE Multimedia section, located under the For the Love of SURGE menu on the top of every page.

Salvadore Raps for SURGE
Sal has donated plenty of his creativity to For the Love of SURGE. He's done some great poems about his favorite drink and he's also sent in some photos as well. This time he has taken his creativity to new heights, crafting a rap song for his beloved SURGE!

The beats are smooth (much like SURGE!) the lyrics are heartfelt and true. SURGE fans you definitely need to check out this great tribute to the one and only Fully Loaded Citrus Soda! You can listen to Sal's rap in the SURGE Multimedia section, located under the For the Love of SURGE menu on the top of every page.

Home Made Logos Continue to Roll In
As we told you in the last edition of SaveSURGE News, several dedicated SURGE fans have used their creative talents to make their very own SURGE logos. We've received several great submissions once again this week and we encourage you to check them out in the Stories and Photos section, located under the For the Love of SURGE menu on the top of every page.

Hall of Fame Deadline Approaches
Your last chance in 2003 to be inducted into the SaveSURGE.org Hall of Fame is coming up. The deadline for sending your entries is Tuesday, 9/30/03. Make sure to nominate yourself or a friend for a chance at soda lovin' immortality! Only 2 lucky SURGE fans will be inducted and will receive the coveted Hall of Fame mug, complete with the names of every inductee.

Poll Results - Keep Feeding the Rush
The latest SURGE Poll asked you: Which SURGE Slogan do you prefer?

54.4% - Feed the Rush
22.7% - It's more than a soda, it's a way of life
13.8% - Shock the System
8.9% - None of these

Total Votes: 101

It's very clear that the majority of SURGE fans prefer to Feed the Rush! We are also very honored that our own "It's more than a soda, it's a ways of life" slogan came in a distant 2nd place!

Lastly this week, we've added a little note to the bottom of our home page and I wanted to share it with you in the newsletter as well:

"A note to SURGE Fans - We love your dedication, we love your passion and we love the way you've helped this site gain national attention (and more importantly, gain Coke's attention). We also want to remind you that, no matter what you do to promote SURGE and SaveSURGE.org, make sure it's legal! SaveSURGE.org cannot be held responsible for your actions. Thank you all, you're the best!"

Yeah, we are just covering our behinds but we also don't want to see anyone get in trouble over SURGE! Most importantly, read that last sentence of the note to yourself over and over again because it's true!!!

Sincerely,

Eric Karkovack
