Just imagine what that burning feeling (probably the phosphoric acid content) is doing to your body. (Well, probably not much since your intestines are basic, neutralizing the acid, and your stomach has far stronger acids... it can't be good for you though) I have heard that (I'm pretty certain that this is correct, but not 100%) coke syrup is actually a hazardous material and trucks carrying it have to have a hazardous material diamond marking it as such... take from that what you will.
Anyway, I used to like Surge; thus, I was disappointed when it was discontinued. Naturally, I was very happy to see Vault (aka Surge + a little more caffeine) on the market, and Vault is now probably my favorite carbonated awakeness booster. Coffee, however, is still my weapon of choice in the morning for doing the actual waking. When finals come around, I am usually seen packing a bunch of caffeinated mints and gum, too. (Last year, during finals and the week prior, I went through 300 Penguin mints, a box of Foosh mints, 72 Bawls mints, a box or two of Jolt gum, 67 XTZ energy mints, and that was all in addition to my usual 3 cups of coffee a day)
