April's Food and Flavor of the Month

It’s another month and another change in flavors for eegee’s drinks! One of my personal faves Peach n’ Berry is back! 

FLAVOR OF THE MONTH

This was brought back with much excitement from fans last year. One of the best moves eegee’s could have done last year was bring back this fan favorite. Remember when eegee’s used to do brackets for their flavors? Well Peach n’ Berry in its first year back made it to the final four, that’s how much people love the flavor. Needless to say, I get very excited anytime this flavor is back.

SANDWICH OF THE MONTH

The food item this month is a club sub. They seem to highlight it every year during one of the months but it’s never the sandwich I’d choose to eat. Apparently the sandwich is now a tropical sandwich. If you’ve seen the commercial lately the club sub is literally a sub and has a slightly offensive islander voice. I’m going to go ahead and stick with my delicious grinders with an extra side of Italian dressing, because that’s just what you do.

COOKIE OF THE MONTH

The cookie for the month is a chocolate cookie with white chocolate chips, another great cookie if you ask me. Try warming it up for a few seconds and you won’t be disappointed!

OTHER

One thing we keep forgetting to investigate is whether it’s actually true that they are selling both the eegee’s ranch and buffalo ranch in stores. Every year, except this year, eegee’s has pranked customers with a fake flavor for April Fool’s. So I already distrust eegee’s when they say this is real, because I deeply want it to be a real thing! We will investigate and bring back proof pictures instead of poorly photoshopped images of the ranch, which is the number one reason I don’t believe this to be true, it looks SO fake!

Speaking of April Fool’s, why didn’t eegee's have a fake flavor this year????? So disappointing, it was always so fun to look out to see what they would do, and somehow they always seemed to trick the masses. Instead they do household products with eegee’s scents...um ok April Fool’s, you didn’t get me. 😜

Midtown Eegee's Robbed!

We are pissed to hear the Grant/Alvernon Eegee's was robbed by a woman with a knife yesterday.

Not cool.

Tucson News Now reports:

"According to Sgt. Pete Dugan of the Tucson Police Department, a woman walked into the eegee's on East Grant Road and North Alvernon Way and demanded money."

Get the full story here.

If you know anything, please contact the Tucson Police Department or submit a tip on their website.

Bulk Ranch Purchases!!!

UPDATE: As of Jan 1, 2017, you are no longer available to purchase ranch or buffalo ranch bottles from the stores.

--
We’ve seen the question over and over again. Can you buy eegee’s ranch? We decided to investigate the question. 

The answer is yes! You can purchase both the regular eegee’s ranch and the buffalo ranch from eegees. Although you can’t do it at any of the stores, all you need to do is call their catering department and boom you've got your buffalo ranch.

You can also purchase the ranch in different sizes which is totally awesome! Dreams are just coming true all over the place :). You can purchase both ranches in either a gallon or quart.

The catering number is (520) 889-4066 and they are located at 3360 E. Ajo, West of Palo Verde. eegees said that they can also have the ranch delivered to one of their stores which makes it so much more convenient!

Here are the costs for their ranches:

Ranch Dressing:

Gallon                $15.24

Quart                 $  4.22

Buffalo Ranch Dressing:

Gallon                $16.57

Quart                 $  4.56

Now go forth and buy all that ranch dressing and never have FOMO when you run out of your last ranch cup!!

Eegee's Love is in the Air

Love is in the air, especially at Ina and Thornydale. Picture this, a man in eegee's to order lunch. He orders, gets his name called and is on his way out.

Then there you are, right there. Your smile is infectious, you are right in front of his face but what does he do? He's already on his way out, he's already going towards the door. Does he stop, does he ask for your number? Sadly, no he can't bring himself to do it.

He continues out the door. As he gets in his car he immediately regrets his decision, this woman took his breath away. How does he reconnect with this woman?

This man turns to Craigslist. He asks for the help of the public to help him find this woman. A woman who could be his true love.


Does this sound familiar? It should, things like this happen more often than not. Let's help this eegee's love couple find each other this Valentine's Day.

As in Justin Timberlake's "Not a Bad Thing" Music Video one gentleman says, "Love is not scripted, it just happens." This is so true and you could be part of this eegee's love story.

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.

The Tucson Taste Testers Are Back!

Our favorite guys are back reviewing the January Healthylicious Campaign from eegee's. Seriously, if you have not seen this, you need to watch it. There's no guest speaker this week, but the sarcasm is on point.



The guys are reviewing the Healthylicious Sandwiches, the Pecan Cinnamon Roll Cookie and the new flavor of the month Pineapple Watermelon. It's the splash, the splash, complete with Jazz hands. So good.

HEALTHYLICIOUS

This covers the four turkey sandwiches that eegee's has to offer.

"They tend to be on the delicious side, not on the healthy side. Anything with ham and white bread, usually isn't considered healthy."

We couldn't agree more. You can't just think you're eating healthy, you must know what goes into your food.

• Turkey D-Lite - This comes with wheat bread instead of white and fat-free house dressing. No cheese for you if you're trying to lose weight.

New campaign name Licious, there's nothing healthy about it. Eight inches of bread. Carb lovers dream. 

Don't forget if you add fries and a drink you're consuming more calories. Small fries add 260 calories and a large fry is 390. Oh and if you add one cup of ranch dressing, pack on another 300 calories.

"If you've made a New Year's Resolution to lose weight we recommend you stay away from this sandwich."
"Unless you've given up already... try it quitter." 

dying. 

FLAVOR OF THE MONTH

The new flavor of the month for eegee's is the Watermelon Pineapple Splash. Watermelon is a huge fan favorite. We even predicted this flavor would be a combination. Though is it a bit too good to be true? First, watermelon is watered down with pineapple. 

The guys report that the flavor is a bit mild. You don't really even taste either of the fruits. It's a background flavor. It's the elevator jazz music. And we're just going to leave that one here. 

Do you agree with the guys' opinion on this flavor? Let us know in the comments.

COOKIE OF THE MONTH

The cookie of the month is the Pecan Cinnamon Roll Cookie. It's a giant cookie with cinnamon, sugar and real pieces of pecans. 

You can see Tim fall in love with this cookie starting with the first bite. He will be stocking up on this cookie to enjoy throughout the year! 

Have you had the Cookie of the Month? What do you think of it? Let us know in the comments.

RECAP

The food is overall good. Turkey is a go to sandwich when you aren't feeling adventurous. 

The new flavor is okay, but is more of a sugar crash than a flavor you could get excited about and get your watermelon fix until summer. 

Finally, the cookie. It's on point. This is what you should be eating this month. MMmMMmmm Cookies. Cookie of the Year! 

No one needs a New Year Resolution. Fast Food is the way to go!

Though if you do want to try and stay healthy there is a Salad of the Month the guys didn't get around to reviewing. Probably because real men don't eat foo foo salads. Watch that dressing ladies!

One final note, the sign off "Thank you for watching us eat." Should be your signature. Keep it.

Eegee's New January Flavor of the Month

We recently got an email from, who we are assuming is, eegee's advertising agency up in Phoenix. We were informed that eegee's is in fact coming out with a new flavor again this January.

Last year we had Red Licorice. This was somewhat of a controversy. A lot of people tried it, tweeted about it and at the end of the day it was a bit of a bust as a flavor.

As for the new flavor this new year, if it is in fact a new flavor, those hoping Galactic Grape or Banana Blush would come back are going to be sadly disappointed.

Do you think it's going to be a fruit flavor? or something random like Red Licorice? There are a few fruits that eegee's doesn't have in its arsenal including:

1. Passion Fruit
2. Kiwi
3. Pineapple by itself
4. Blueberry by itself
5. Grapefruit
6. Apricot
7. Guava
8. Plum
9. Papaya
10. Cranberry

Eegee's has been known for mixing flavors with berries, pineapple and lemon/lime. They also do a hodgepodge mashup to make their Jungle Juice. There are currently seven flavor mixes:
Cherry Pineapple (fun fact: a fan requested this to be made and so many people agreed, it came to life.)

1. Orange Pineapple
2. Blueberry Lemon
3. Cherry Limeade
4. Holly Berry
5. Jungle Juice
6. Peach N Berry

It's about time for a mix of flavors again, it's been too long. Could the new flavor be a mix of current flavors they already have? If the new January flavor is a mix of flavors, here are some flavors we think would mix the best:

1. Mango Pineapple
2. Apple Grape
3. Pineapple Watermelon
4. Strawberry Banana
5. Pomegranate Black Raspberry
6. Raspberry Lemonade

Eegee's could also throw everyone for a loop as they did back in January of 2015. Here are some flavors we think they could come out with that are not fruit related.

1. Cola
2. Popcorn
3. Pie (Pumpkin, Pecan)
4. Chocolate Mousse 
5. Love Potion No. 9
6. Mexican Hot Chocolate 

Let us know in the comments what you think the next flavor of the month is going to be. Also, if you work for eegee's and know any of the fun secrets shoot us an email at eegeeslove@gmail.com. All names are kept confidential.

If a new flavor doesn't excite you, you can order your own favorite flavor on the eegee's special order website. Here are the flavors you can order from eegee's:

1. Rodeo Root Beer
2. Lucky Lime
3. Fruit Splash
4. Blueberry Lemon
5. Galactic Grape
6. Jungle Juice
7. Cherry Cider
8. Pomegranate Blast
9. Holly Berry
10. Tangerine Breeze
11. Chunks O' Cherry
12. Cherry Pineapple
13. Orange Pineapple
14. Orange Dream
15. Mango Tango
16. Black Raspberry
17. Cherry Limeade
18. Blueberry Lemon
19. Banana Blush
20. Peach n Berry
21. Red Licorice
22. Watermelon
