Surge: the final frontier. If you have been sticking to 97.9 WGRD, you'd know that I am quite the Surge fan. I have been part of the Surge Movement for a number of years now, and was extremely excited when Surge was re-released exclusively through Amazon. Things are starting to change though.

As you know, I am a Surge addict. When it was announced that it was coming back in 2014, I pretty much soiled myself. I bought so much of the damn stuff that I had caffeine overdoses, massive headaches, and weight gain! Good ol' soda right?!

My girlfriend, Caroline, bought a coke and it said, "share a coke with, JACKIE."

When it comes to gaming, we need fuel. The requirement of this gaming fuel is a massive amount of caffeine and sugar. Especially if you are gaming all night on World of Warcraft, Call of Duty, or even a marathon of Mario games. You need to be focused! Sure we have plenty of energy drinks today, but nothing as good as this caffeine classic. I think it's time again to FEED THE RUSH, with SURGE! Read
