About
As of 2026, it's 29 years old.
Surge launched in 1997 as Coca-Cola's neon-green attempt to peel teenage boys away from Mountain Dew, and it was marketed with all the subtlety of an extreme-sports injury. Then it got discontinued, and something remarkable happened: people refused to let it go.
A years-long online fan campaign lobbied so hard that Coca-Cola actually brought it back in 2014 — a soda resurrected by sheer nostalgic stubbornness.
Loud, sweet, and unapologetically '90s, Surge is the rare drink that fans loved back from the dead.
