Once upon a time, attitude was everything.  The wilder your commercials, the bolder your flavors, the more people liked you.  Consider it an anti-Guy Fieri.  One of the best examples of this came from the stodgy old minds at Coca-Cola, with their secret recipe and sacred formula.  Their entry into the x-treem citrus drink market was a little thing called Surge, the radioactive green soda in a matching radioactive green can, and it was delicious.  There’s been a growing movement to bring it back, and it appears like Atlanta-based Coca-Cola has bowed to fan pressure.  Coca-Cola is bringing back Surge for online ordering via Amazon.  That’s right, you too can taste the awesome of Surge once again, if you’re willing to pay; Amazon is the online test market for Surge sales, according to Coke.

“This will be a great learning experience for us and a refreshing opportunity for fans,” said Coca-Cola’s Wendy Clark, president of Sparkling & Strategic Marketing.  “Future plans for the brand will depend on the excitement exhibited by fans across the country.”

For those of you that didn’t grow up in the 90’s, or who didn’t drink a lot of soda, Surge was Coca-Cola’s attempt to knock Mountain Dew off its pedestal, since the king is distracted by breakfast drinks.  PepsiCo’s Mountain Dew controls about 85% of the citrus soda drink market, and is the go-to drink for college kids around the world who need a dose of delicious sugar and caffeine in a can.  Now a little piece of 90’s nostalgia is back, with the bright green can and the red sunburst and, hopefully, that same awesome taste.  Now if we could just get someone to bring back Jolt, the soda with double caffeine, I’d be in business.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
