' Bids on 12 packs have gone over $100 on Ebay, and Soda Favorites (a website that sells rare and discontinued sodas) sells them for $140. You might think that sounds crazy, but it just goes to show how much people crave it. '

WOW  :laugh:

Solution: Move to Norway, it's called URGE here, had it since 1996.  8)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surge

Quote
SURGE is a citrus soft drink first introduced in Norway, under the name Urge (1996), by the Coca-Cola Company to compete with Pepsi's Mountain Dew. It became very popular in Norway. 1997, Coca-Cola decided to start making it in USA under the name SURGE, although in Denmark and Sweden, the name remained URGE. In the USA, the product did very well for the first few years, but eventually started to slip in sales. The Coca-Cola company has since ceased production of this beverage in the USA, Denmark and Sweden in 2001. Norway is the only country where you can still buy this soft drink. SURGE was widely associated with the extreme sports lifestyle, with television commercials similar to those currently used by Mountain Dew. Expired cans and bottles of Surge now sell on eBay for high dollar amounts, including a reported $160.08 for a 12-pack sold in April 2005. Since 2002 a community of SURGE lovers have been built around savesurge.org, and have been widely credited for the release of Vault, Coke's new SURGE-like soda. The beginning of 2005 saw a campaign to bring SURGE back to the shelves of Wal-Mart; according to savesurge.org, this resulted in Wal-Mart executives contacting Coca-Cola about bringing the drink back, but the soft drink company elected not to make a deal.

There are a few myths about SURGE; chief among them is that Surge contains more caffeine than most other drinks (urban myths often hint that Surge was discontinued because it's caffeine was more than twice a cup of coffee). While Surge does contain more caffeine than some soft drinks, it contains a little less than its closest analogue, Mountain Dew. According to Coca-Cola's customer service in Norway, URGE contains 45% more caffeine than Coca-Cola. In Norway, a 0.5L bottle of Coca-Cola contains 10mg of caffeine, while a bottle of URGE contains 14.5mg of caffeine.

Originally URGE was available in Norway in 0.5L and 1.5L bottles, but in 1999 the 1.5L bottles were taken off the market, due to unsatisfactory sales. Supposedly, Urge 0.5L alone outsells all variations of Pepsi in 0.5L in Norway, but this has yet to be confirmed.

Hey Jome, in a hypothetical situation, would you ship me a box if I paid for shipping and all that?

"So I can say I am the only one in America to have it." ;D
