message: "The beginning of 2005 brought an exciting campaign to bring SURGE back to the store shelves of Wal-Mart."
Surely the excitingness of such a campaign is for the reader to decide. Also the proximity of the words "brought" and "bring" is a little uncomfortable. I'm going to change it. TheJames 20:56, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: That's strange because the Chuck E. Cheese's down the street has it... -Fetology 16:53, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
I was still able to find Surge in fountain form only at a local Fuddruckers after it disappeared from store shelves.  It wouldn't surprise me if other specialty restaurant chains such as Chuck E. Cheese's still had it on fountain as well.
I remember heading there one night to satisfy my cravings for high quality burgers and Surge, only to find that it vanished from the fountain as well.  I do not remember exactly when this was, but I believe it was sometime in 2003 or 2004.  I have not been able to find it anywhere else since.Yorath (talk) 17:00, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

message: An anon(with an ip from the US) changed this to say that you can buy this in Sweden and Denmark. I am pretty sure you can't, I have looked for it there when I've been there with no luck finding it, here(in Norway) it can be found everywhere. I am changing it back.

"An title cannot redirect somewhere when it is already on that title"
Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. What's wrong with having "Surge redirects here?" I put that there so people would know that "Surge" would redirect to that page. Intelliguy 23:43, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Any info on the urban myth that, because it contains "Yellow #5" (I believe that was the one), Surge will shrink your balls?  I remember that was a pretty widespread myth back in the day, and while I always figured it was bogus, I'm curious.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.177.39.250 (talk) 03:00, August 25, 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:Surge logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

text: And unfortunately, all three are unusable - the two Flickr images are CC-BY-ND, which is not free enough for our use, and then I would be wary about using the last one because the licensing terms that you've mentioned are not explicit enough about what we can do with it.  Additionally, I couldn't find that statement on the Web site, and most I could find was "© Matt Parnell's Brain: Plugged In!"  It was indeed a good effort on your part, but when you do a Flickr search, you need to check all three Creative Commons boxes to get Wikipedia-compatible images.

thread_title: URGE

message: Considering the constant edits of people incorrectly changing "Urge" to "Surge", I have added an edit notice to this page bringing attention to and clarifying this point.  I honestly have no idea if everyone can edit these notices or just administrators (my guess is the latter).  It's at Template:Editnotices/Page/Surge (soft drink).  If you can edit the message, please do, and make it better.  If you can't edit the message, then suggest changes, and I'll change it.  SchuminWeb (Talk) 05:34, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

message: I support the removal of the mention of Los Campesiños restaurant.  Nothing on the source page (A) indicates how old that menu is, and (B) no mention is made of a special deal with Coke.  Additionally, (C) why would a little mom-and-pop restaurant have a deal to produce a soda that a lot of people want when even Walmart couldn't get it?  SchuminWeb (Talk) 08:15, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

message: I added the Trademark section to the article. Sorry I forgot to put in a subject when I saved... my first wiki contribution citing sources and such. I was looking into the trademark for the SURGE Movement group on Facebook as they're looking into doing a billboard ad campaign. If anyone else knows more about the proper usage of SURGE name and trademarks, please go ahead and edit the new Trademark section.

thread_title:  Trademark 

message: I was the Director of New Products at Coca Cola responsible for the conception, development and launch of Surge and Urge.  I've tried a couple of times to correct the content on this post but had the incorrect content reinstated. The main error that keeps popping up relates to the conception of Urge and the relationship between the two brands.  In fact, Surge was developed by me and my team and Urge was a later derivative we modified for the different conditions in the Norweigan market. The Surge trademark was unavailable there - we tested some names and Urge topped the poll.  The formulation was also differnt - if I remember correctly, we couldn't use the same food colouring we had in the US and were required to adopt a natural colour.  I also recall that the Urge was required to contain some fruit juice content under local food law - which may be as high as 5%. I do not recall the precise dates of the launches but its possible that we got Urge to market a little ahead of Surge - but this was more to do with lining up the bottlers.
