Vault (also '''VAULT''') is a Carbonated beverage that was released by The Coca-Cola Company in June 2005 . Coca-Cola is marketing Vault as a Hybrid with the slogan "Drinks like a Soda , Kicks like an Energy Drink ," as well as "The Taste. The Quench. The Kick." and "Get to It." It is a citrus flavored beverage that contains many of the same ingredients as the Coca-Cola beverage SURGE , which was discontinued in 2002. Due to Vault's similarity to SURGE, representatives of Coca-Cola have given some credit for the release of Vault to SaveSURGE.org , a website community dedicated to bringing SURGE back to store shelves.

Coca-Cola representatives and the American Beverage Association state that Vault contains 47 mg of Caffeine per 8 oz. serving, thus, 70.5 mg per 12 oz. can, and 117.5 mg per 20 oz. PET bottle. This amount is substantially higher than SURGE's 52.5 mg per 12 oz. or Mountain Dew 's 55 mg per 12 oz.

Vault is available in 20 oz. PET bottles, 12- and 18-pack cans , 1- and 2-liter bottles, and 16 oz extended cans. In September 2005, Coke released Vault Zero, a diet version of the citrus soda.

Test-marketing occurred in a limited area from June 2005 through Labor Day , 2005. During this time, the drink was only available in certain markets in Alabama , Michigan , North Carolina , South Carolina , Tennessee , and Virginia , but was also available in Georgia , Kansas , and West Virginia . Vault was released nationally in February 2006 .
