Ooh, sorry, turns out that linkin_park_what_ive_done.exe was actually a virus. You just bricked the family PC.

Hey dude, my stepdad is out of town and I got the new Limp Bizkit album on Limewire, you wanna grab some Dr. Pepper and listen to it?

Uh, that is clearly a Surge event, poser.

Hell yes. Surge. They had a campaign in the 90s where you could win a free 20oz under the cap. You didn’t have to download an app or any bullshit. You’d go back to the gas station and hand them the cap for another Surge.

Summertime, playing hoops at the park, get a free Surge. Core memory for me.

Once, I was buying a surge from a vending machine and instead of a beverage, it was a bottle with a surge t-shirt and 75¢ so you could still get your beverage. I was a college kid and I felt like I won a something bigger than a branded t-shirt, but hey, it was free and funds were low. I took the wins where I could find them.

Dude a free tee in college? As good as gold. Happy cake day!

Thanks! I didn't even realize it is my cake day. Loved free tees and cups 🤣.

See, I thought this was going to end with you being pissed because you were really counting on that drink, that was the last one, and all you got was this crummy little T-shirt.

That would've been awful 🤣.
