Watch: Surge Vs. Vault Taste Comparison
Categories: Uncategorized

VaultI’m back with the promised taste test video between Surge (actually it’s the Norwegian version called Urge) and Vault. Thanks to Hans who lives in Norway for sending over some Urge. In addition, he sent along the new Urge Intense energy drink and Tab X-tra. Yup, Tab is aliveĀ and thriving overseas, apparently.

The video that’s embedded here is a bit smaller so it fits in the blog. You can click here and watch the full size version.

    The smelling thing made me lol. I hate Vault btw, so I’d love it if they brought back Surge because I remember trying it a long time ago and LOVING it :D

    There used to be a study for an experimental ADHD drug at Putnam Hall in Stony Brook. This was a drug to calm down hyper kids. The vending machine there had Surge in it. ‘Nuff said.

    Coke fiend Henson rocks.
    Vault is ok, I prefer Dew.

    Oh, I also have to ask.
    When you say “failed soda blog” is it the soda or the blog that has failed? :P

  5. ah, i see you time stretched your comments about burnny to create “alky tim”.

  6. Chuck says:

    Awesome, love the new, better quality video. I can almost taste the “burny’ness”!

  7. Cher says:

    Tab will always be alive and thriving in my heart.

  8. Max says:

    Great quality, good first video. Did you use your Discover card to buy the camera so quickly?

  9. Personally i love vault but the whole drinks like a soda kicks like an energy drink actually applies really well to pepsi and MD throwback

    I just realised how like, fucking stupid it is to call an energy-ish drink VAULT as opposed to VOLT.

    @l33tabix: Maybe they thought it would cause brand confusion with Jolt.

    Here’s the thing I’m still wondering though (if we want to get nit-picky, and soda is srs bsns around here) - is Urge the exact same recipe as the U.S. Surge? You know how Coca-Cola is slightly different in every country (Japanese Coke is my favorite so far, but I haven’t had too many foreign Cokes!) - what if that subtle difference between Urge and Vault is the difference between the U.S. and Norwegian Surge recipes? Vault may then actually be the U.S. Surge! I seem to remember Surge being pretty “burn-y” too, lol. I’d think in general we put more carbonation in our soft drinks than other countries… But yeah, 7 years is a long time to really remember the taste of something accurately XD

    Anyway, A+ gold stars on this blog; I didn’t realize I actually that interested in this shit till you finally set it up XD
