Eegees Flavor of the Month: Orange Dream
Ohhhhh yea! This is one of our favorite flavors ESPECIALLY when you start mixing in that ice cream and make it an orangesicle! 🍦 Move over ice cream man Eegee's is taking over this month!
Eegee's Deal of the Month: Hot Dog Combo
We love hot dogs. So we're down for this dealio this month. We're going to be over here chowing down the chili dog. Can we get some napkins? 🤤
eegee's has always been known for playing a prank on us for April Fools! This year they came out with a fake line of sweets using their ingredients.
The sweets include a Snickers like Grinder Bar, a Lettuce Fizzy Pop which is a mini head of lettuce covered in pop rocks and Jaw Breaker filled with Ranch called a Ranch Blaster.
Have you checked out eegee’s social media lately? They are doing a contest for Valentine's Day. Either go to their Facebook or Instagram page and tag as many friends as you can. Looks like they want you to do separate posts per tag, not sure why...probably wanting more comments I dunno. But anyways, you get the chance to win a Party Pak. The winner is announced on Valentine's Day so you don't have much more time to enter.
Good Luck to all the eegee fans!!
Head over to their Facebook Page here to enter: eegees Facebook
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.
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."

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 just announced that they are now serving Kraft Macaroni and Cheese on their menus!
...Um ok?
I think the general consensus from the comments left on eegee’s Facebook page is why?
It is unclear whether this is just on the kid’s menu, which would make more sense. Also, why is it Kraft? Is Eegee’s unable to be original anymore, have they gone corporate? Didn’t Kraft have a few recalls last year on their mac & cheese as well? I have so many questions, and this announcement just left us confused and kind of bored.
Who really cares about Kraft mac & cheese. It’s less than a dollar at the store for a box, so do you really want to pay for a small bowl at the store? We’re not sure of the price yet, but will post pricing when we go to the store. We envision that whoever came up with this idea thought it was the most amazing idea ever...and then it came out and no one really cares. If they wanted to make excitement over mac & cheese why didn’t they create their own recipe??? It’s not that hard to make, it’s noodles and cheese.
Why is the Eegee’s menu changing so much lately? Have sales been that bad that they have to constantly come up with gimmicks to attract customers? We straight up love our Eegee’s but does it have to constantly be changing? See our previous post about how much the brand has changed over the years here. While the branding has been inconsistent over the years (are we now supposed to be writing eegee’s, Eegee’s, Eegee, eegee, or eg’s, whoever handles their social media can’t even get it right), their food has always pretty much stayed the same. People love the drink and food items offered, so why mess with it? If it’s not broke don’t fix it, right? Unless it is broken and eegees is in some sort of financial trouble, please don’t let that be true!
While it seems the new flavor Watermelon Pineapple seems to be a hit, they maybe should have left it at that for their big reveal this month. There are several other places that serve worthwhile mac & cheese in Tucson, here are a few of my personal favorites as I am a mac & cheese connoisseur along with my eegee’s obsession.
The Hub: The Hub serves amazingly creamy mac & cheese. You can also add additional toppings like BACON or chicken. It comes with a baked on crusty top that’s to die for!
Trident Grill: You wouldn’t think a college bar would have such amazing mac & cheese but they do! I go back and forth between whether The Hub is better than Trident or not, but either way, I would eat either mac & cheese any day. It’s creamy and sooo cheesy.
The Fix: Duh the entire place is devoted to mac & cheese
Union: They put bacon in the mac & cheese so obviously it’s good!
Maynards Market & Kitchen: They’ve got a decent mac that I’m happy to order whenever I’m there.
This is just a short list of mac & cheeses I’d rather eat than even trying eegee’s. Not that I hate Kraft mac & cheese, I have three boxes in my pantry right now, but why would I go to a food joint to eat Kraft? I really hope this was for the kids because I’m totally not getting this effort. I also hope that this isn’t a sign of eegee's going corporate. This isn’t like adding Frank’s Red Hot Sauce to your ranch, aka Buffalo Ranch, because that idea was pure genius. This just seems to be a lazy way to add another item to their menu. They used to have such an individualistic personality and lately they’ve been a little boring with their presentation. Don’t lose your quirky fun edge eegee’s, that’s what we loved about you!
As many fans have commented, if you don’t want the item then don’t get it. Well hey, if no one gets it then what was the point of putting it on the menu in the first place?
If you disagree with us and love the eegee’s mac & cheese, let us know! Feel free to comment below or send us your pics at our email address eegeeslove@gmail.com and we’ll post on our social media.
We will only judge you slightly for ordering Kraft mac & cheese...
We know this was announced a few days ago but, hey, we were on vacay so we’re getting to it now!
Looks like the new flavor came out and it’s Watermelon Pineapple. Not just Watermelon Pineapple, but Watermelon Pineapple Splash. Oooooh, doesn’t that make it so much fancier! The look of the artwork is kind of retro and oh so clever. They put a pineapple top on a watermelon .
Joking aside; on the images, the flavor is pretty amazing. I’m not sure that I would have guessed the two flavors on my own if I were blind tested but it definitely has a tropical flavor to it. We’re predicting that this flavor will, obviously, be a hit.
It’s kind of a no-brainer. Watermelon is by far the favorite flavor of all the eegee flavors. This is also the first time they’ve mixed watermelon with anything! So that’s exciting. Also, to any fans concerned with how radioactive the eegee flavors have been looking lately, don’t worry they don’t look like that in real life! Our suggestion, make a watermelon flavor each month if you want to strike it rich!
Check out some of the fans trying out the new flavors.

UPDATE: As of January 1, 2017 eegee's no longer supports their secret menu. You are still able to get eegee's suicide style at select locations. If they don't know what you're talking about, educate them on what suicide style actually is.

We told you we had some insider information for the eegee's secret menu and here it is!
We found out from some inside sources that all the employees at eegee's are being trained to handle your secret menu needs. Tag us when you order and post photos of the secret menu items @eegeeslove.
TRASHCAN FRIES
Fries done right. They will literally put everything on top of a batch of fries. This includes cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, olives, banana peppers, ranch, and buffalo ranch.
THE ITALIANO
This sandwich will make you want to kiss your fingers like the Italians do. It's a Roast Beef Sandwich with some Marinara. Not the most Italian, but okay we'll go with it.
THE JUNKYARD
Think California Burrito only with an Eegee's Grinder. That's right, they load a grinder with fries. Open Mouth. Insert Junkyard.
MUTHA FUCKIN' GRINDER
Speaking of an Eegee's Grinder. This is the mother load, the mother-fuckin' grinder is 18" of grinder glory. Bring friends or eat it yourself. Note: It's really called the Big F'ing Grinder, but if you're going call it a fucking grinder, say fucking.
EL RANCHO STYLE
Ranch is eegee's most popular item, though the buffalo ranch is becoming a fan favorite. The El Rancho Style has the employees dumping both of these delectable condiments on your order.
HOT AF STYLE
Let's be honest, the Flaming Hot Chicken Sub eegee's showcased this year was anything but flaming hot. So they've introduced a Hot As Fuck Style to their arsenal. This style let's the employees know they should be adding jalapeños and buffalo ranch to your sandwich.
SUICIDE STYLE
Can't decide what eegee's flavor to get? Get them all.
Have you ordered something off the secret menu yet? We want to see your photos. Email them to eegeeslove@gmail.com or tag us @eegeeslove #EGsSecretMenu. We will feature them on our social media. Make sure to follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
We reached out to eegee's corporate though they were unavailable for comment.
You order an eegee's special order. You wait the required four days to go pick it up and there you have it. A giant styrofoam cube full of you favorite eegee's flavor. It’s buckled in tight, you drive it home and set that sweet baby on the counter.
Now, what do you do? Eat it of course. But what do you eat it in when it's not socially acceptable to just eat it out of the cube, with your bare hands.

If you’re not down for the Modern look of the Octagon Tea Cup, maybe you will like this photographer lens mug with a lid. It’s a really great optical illusion to those who freak out if liquid comes anywhere near their professional million dollar camera.
