SUPER MISSION #1: Whatever happened to Surge?
I've been in the Air Force for about a year and
a half now, but in all that time I have not seen any Surge in the places I have
been. Surge, if you don't know, is a delicious beverage marketed by Coca-Cola
that is green and a has a little bite and a citrus flavor. This is my
favorite soda of all time, but some time ago, perhaps 2 years ago, it
began to become difficult to find it at all. So, for the entirety of my
AF career thus far, and a few months before, I have not had any Surge. Today,
the 17th of November, 2002, I decided to begin my Super Mission career by FINDING
OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO SURGE!!
MISSION #1 Objectives:
Find out what happened to Surge.
acquire
some Surge.
It
was actually easy to discover what happened to Surge. If you are interested,
go to SaveSurge
and you'll see that Surge is still around, just hard to find. At SaveSurge
I found a list of local stores that might carry Surge in their fountains.
Armed with said list 
I headed out for adventure, disdaining to call ahead.
After
a short drive, this is what I discovered! 
What did I do with this knowledge,
you might ask?
BEHOLD! 
I decided that this was not
the best way to store my newly-found wealth of Surge. I thought long and
hard, I opened up some of my old physics books and researched the effects of
hydrostatic pressure on carbonation and the temperature which would inhibit
carbonation-loss the most. I put all this information together and created
what I feel is the most perfect Surge storage device ever. . .SURGE JUG!
(I admit it has a striking resemblance
to a Sunny D jug I tore the label off of and made a new one out of paper for,
but I assure you this thing has super technology inside!)
So what did I
learn today? Coca-Cola needs to make Surge available in cans in my area,
I don't really like any soda out of a fountain, but as long as I have SURGE
JUG I guess I will continue going back to fill the Surge void in my life.
13
miles driven
140
oz of Surge! acquired
I
am declaring this mission to be a SUCCESS.
I headed out for adventure, disdaining to call ahead.
