Why did you bother writing him back? Actually, we tend to have a pretty funloving view of angry readers. The only people who ever tend to write us hate mail are people who are too slow to realize that we're making fun of them when we write back. Which is fun beyond belief. So for our anti-Canadian friend, we just stirred him up before we got tired with his mails, at which point we told him the "truth" about me. I really love doing this stuff. |

Getting back on the topic of consumable liquids that make one hyper, does anyone remember Jolt cola? Or why I can't find it anymore?
Of course, the last time I saw it was at the coffee shop I met my wife at, and that one ain't open anymore.

The scuttlebutt during elementary school was that it was banned. Gave one heart attacksm apparently. But I've seen it around since then (middle school). So i don't know.
Whatever happened to Surge?

I've had Surge once, but I'll tell you, there is a soft drink here where I'm from that's so loaded... It's called Sun-Drop, and it is the favored drink of high school students in Southeastern North Carolina... ;D

Whatever happened to Surge? If memory serves, its fall from grace started on or about my junior year of high school. It seems Surge contains Yellow dye #5, which is widely urban-legended to cause any number of genital-related problems. It goes without saying that no high school boy, or male of any age, is willing to sacrifice his tender vittles for the sake of something that tastes like an undiscovered flavor of Tang. |

Speaking of Sun Drop and Southeastern North Carolina, what town do you hail from? I grew up in a piss-ant small town right north of Wilmington... |

I don't think I have to worry about my genitals being reduced, so I drink the stuff faithfully... except right now, I'm at a place where they only have Pepsi products.  And dajaymann, I sent you a PM. |

When I went back to NC for an interview a couple months ago, I made sure to stop at the Farmer's Market in Raleigh. While there, I must have had 3 Sundrops. Man, I miss that stuff. Give me Sundrop, Cheerwine & RC Cola. That's the stuff I grew up on (by the way, it's not just southeastern NC that has it, as I grew up in north central NC) And Jolt is still available, although I mainly see it sold in liquor stores for some reason. If you're really craving Jolt, check it out on Thinkgeek. |

Whoops, should've said it was all over the state... but I can't find it outside the state line. And who can, with the South of the Border signs on I-95 going to South Carolina?
It's good stuff, though, and tastes much better than Red Bull.

I remember having Surge once, as a kid - it was before I moved to Kentucky, so I couldn't have been nine yet. As I recall it was after a party with my parents' friends, and I ate tons of crawfish and drank several cans of Surge and then didn't sleep all night.
Needless to say I wasn't allowed to drink Surge anymore.

Mmmm... caffeine... before bed... and making your roommate very annoyed at you.
