OMG I can't believe I almost had a heart attack over this but here was the surprisingly simple solution:

I installed the Multi-Cross sell mod which uses files in YOUR TEMPLATE folder which of course you rename to whichever template you are using.

Which this mod calls on the tpl_product_info_display.php file in that directory. The problem hit because my version of that file is in the template default directory and not in my "surfshop" directory.

All I had to do was copy it over and poof everything including my pulse went back to normal.

Thanks Kobra, I forgot all about that tutorial and the debug logs
