On my recent trip to Nashville, I managed to grab a few bottles of Vault. Its Coca-Cola's newest entry in the citrus flavored soda market. Their first was a little ditty called Surge, which was designed to replace Coke's faltering Mello Yello brand and to compete with Pepsi's Mountain Dew.

Its tag line is ... "Drinks like a soda, kicks like an energy drink!" Which sounds a hell of a lot like Mt. Dew's newest spinoff MDX.

From what I remember of Surge, Vault does taste very similar. For me it will never replace the Mt. Dew family of drinks, but on $0.78 a bottle I can at least have a few sips.

For all you Coke fans out there who've had their fill of Citra, Sundrop, Wink, & Squirt, go give this stuff a try. It's supposed to launch nationally sometime in late February or early March.
