you might have had Surge in high school as a senior but I don’t remember that. Wiki says Surge hit shelves in 1997 so maybe it overtook Ogden during your last few months haha. I do remember All Sport though.

Oh my gosh, we had to have gotten at least a cavity each from the swimming pool snack bar there.
I think it must have been my senior year! Either that or we all got it on sign-out. I was pretty entrenched in Clearly Canadian and Diet Coke during this time.
Definitely Surge for me. Like many people here, I'm sure, we had a "pop fridge" at home in the garage. My parents weren't drinkers, so it was just pop in there. During the Surge phase, I'd probably drink 6-12 cans in a day on a weekend, easy. If it wasn't Surge, it was Mt. Dew or any other sugar filled beverage.
It's interesting looking back at how I was raised versus how I feel about that stuff now a a parent. I wouldn't let my kid within a mile of a can of Surge and can't imagine how my parents just let me pound that stuff without question.

I have had this bottle of Cherry Jolt in my beer fridge since 2007.
That and the Tru Blood are kept for emergencies.

We drank a lot of Surge, we had time to kill after school so half the time we'd end up going to the dollar store for crappy candy and then hitting up the quarter surge machine.
Did Jolt make a tall metal can? I can never remember what it was but when I was a freshmen I realized I had a ton of Cy Cash or whatever that I had to spend so I just bought one of those metal can sodas every morning.

Our dorm floor had a machine where if you bought a Dr. Slice and held the button it would empty the machine. We had a secret drawer of the stuff.
As a bonus after the Dr. Slice was gone you still got one free soda of your choice. That was always the injury to insult to whoever filled that machine. Fools.
had it in the machines in my HS. I was a big fan for a while.
Jolt was horrid. It was like drinking sugar and morning breath.
Never tried surge. Didn’t drink soda when it came out. Wouldn’t have tried it anyway just out of principal because of those terrible commercials.
