Root Beer & Banana Blush are February's Flavors

Eegees has just introduced the flavor of the months for February. As usual eegee’s has the root beer flavor available for rodeo week. They’re actually vocal about it this month and highlighting it with Banana Blush this year. 

Banana Blush has been off the eegee’s flavor roster for quite some time, so I'm sure some will be excited to see it back. So... what happened to Peach n’ Berry??!!?!?! A flavor everyone was so happy to see back last year at this time. Arguably a much more popular flavor than Banana Blush. 

eegees is doing things a little different this year and not providing us the flavors of the year on their Flavor of the Month page. So, we’re hoping that Peach n’ Berry will still be in the lineup this year.


And lbh, how unfortunate are those colors together? 



With both flavors, you are able to add a scoop of ice cream into your cup. This was well received last year when they did Dreamsicles. Mmm yes those were delicious. I kind of want one right now.

It’s interesting to see two very taste specific flavors on the menu this month. People either love or hate root beer and people either love or hate banana flavors, there’s really no in between. Is root beer a sweet flavor? I don't remember it actually being sweet and I don't think I've ever heard anyone describe it as sweet. Maybe they're assuming you'll only have it with ice cream and that's the sweet part? I personally will have to stick to Strawberry this month as neither of these flavors appeal to me. I don’t doubt the banana fanatics will be rejoicing while all the peach n’ berry lovers will be patiently awaiting for February to be over.

So eegee's when is Peach n Berry coming back? Inquiring minds want to know.

The highlighted menu item this month is again the BLT, which we think is the same as last year. We’re not really getting what the OMG moment emoji is supposed to be about, especially since this is an item on the menu all year long. But OMG eat yourself some bacon! Can’t go wrong with bacon! I’d also like to see who makes this face whenever they see a BLT on any restaurant’s menu. Shove that sandwich all the way in.


Looks like the Keeper Cup is back! I’m guessing they’re planning to do a collectible type thing, the design has changed this year. This year they went with a kind of old school Tucson vibe. They’re calling it a Tucson Original, or at least I think they’re calling the Keeper Cup a Tucson original. I’m not sure what they mean by that and why the Keeper Cup is one it’s not like giant refillable cups are original to Tucson. I think they’re original to Circle K lol. Also, Tucson doesn't have fucking palm trees unless you're on campus. Dear Phoenix Advertising Agency learn your market.



If you’re into eegee’s and into eating all the flavors all the time, the Keeper Cup is a great option to get. Your refills are way cheaper when you use the cup so it pretty much pays for itself. I can’t wait to get mine and add it to my one cup collection.

The cookie of the month is a fan favorite, fudge brownie. You can’t go wrong with this one. Chocolate, chocolate and chocolate. #approved.



One thing I almost didn’t even realize is that eegee’s seems to be having a monthly salad added to the monthly menu highlights. If you weren’t just sitting on their website you probably would have never noticed but their salad of the month is a Santa Fe Chicken Salad. The image of the salad doesn’t actually lead to anywhere on their site so I’m not too sure what’s on the salad. From the picture it looks like it’s iceberg lettuce, chicken, black beans, tomatoes and corn...meh.  Don’t go to eegees to eat a salad so I’ll let someone else try it. I’m sure it’s decent.
