Surge, the '90s soda with a cult following, has finally been revived. But why stop there? Here are 10 other soft drinks that need to make a comeback.
For years, the people of the world have clamored for the return of Surge, Coca-Cola's 1990's response to Mountain Dew. The xtreme-styled soft drink, discontinued in 2002, was revived this week after a dedicated Facebook group of fans-143,000 strong-convinced the soda-maker to reintroduce their favorite product.
That's great for Surge lovers, who bought up all of Surge's new stock within hours, but what about fans of other sodas that were killed before their time? Here are our picks for 10 soft drinks that need to make a comeback.
dnL-the 7-Up logo upside-down-was an attempt to get parent company Cadbury Schweppes in on the xtreme drink craze. Unlike its parent brand, which tried to court an un-cola image, dnL was everything 7-Up was not: caffeinated, neon green, and marketed as an even more hip/cool/rad version of Mountain Dew. The soda's official website, archived here, invites interested consumers to 'Check It' and promotes dnL's affiliation with the extreme snowboarding game SSX 3. After lagging sales, which Cadbury Schweppes America's CEO blamed on the product's poor fit with the 7-Up brand, dnL was discontinued in 2006.
