It's May and that means a new flavor, deal and cookie! Are your favorites featured this month?! Let us know in the comments!
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? 🤤
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. 😜
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
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 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 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:
Passion Fruit
Kiwi
Pineapple by itself
Blueberry by itself
Grapefruit
Apricot
Guava
Plum
Papaya
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.)
Orange Pineapple
Blueberry Lemon
Cherry Limeade
Holly Berry
Jungle Juice
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:
Mango Pineapple
Apple Grape
Pineapple Watermelon
Strawberry Banana
Pomegranate Black Raspberry
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.
Cola
Popcorn
Pie (Pumpkin, Pecan)
Chocolate Mousse
Love Potion No. 9
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:
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.
Tucson.com has listed out the 12 Days of Christmas that can only be done in Tucson. Open your mouths and insert food.
The local site has devised a list of all the favorite food places you can only get here in Tucson, AZ! We might be a bit biased, but we know what our favorite Tucson restaurant on the list is. It should be yours too. Eat up Tucson and check out which of your favorite Tucson places to eat made the list.
First, though, what would the list be without eegee's? Close to the bottom of the list, on the 10th day of Christmas, Tucson.com is recommending you head on over to eegee's for one of our deliciously cold fresh frozen fruit drinks. Though, let's be honest, one of our fresh frozen fruit drinks would go well with any of those places on the list. Sneak it in your purse or man bag, whatever you choose to carry this season.
For December, eegee’s is boasting the Holly Berry flavor as the Flavor of the Month. You can have this by itself, as a half and half or go all out suicide style. Also, shove a tasty Sausage N’ Peppers in your face. It will help the drink go down.
Mission San Xavier del Bac, 1950 W. San Xavier Road.
Taqueria Pico de Gallo, 2618 S. Sixth Ave, 623-8775, on Facebook.
Eegee’s, 24 locations. eegees.com <— Seriously best one on the list. Again, we might be a bit biased but who can resist and eegee’s or some ranch or even buffalo ranch. You would have to be out of your damn mind. Go eat.
La Estrella Bakery, 5266 S. 12th Ave., 741-0656, and 100 S. Avenida Del Convento, 393-3320, laestrellabakeryincaz.com
These are the places on the list, but can you guess what they are famous for? If you’re having a little trouble because everything is so good, head on over to the official 12 Days of Christmas List on tucson.com and find out what you might be missing. Really though, if you’re looking for food in Tucson, just head over to eegee’s.
Have you noticed the new logo on all your eegee's wrappers? Let us know what you think in the reactions below the post!
eegee's opened in 1971 with the following logo. You can still see this logo at some of the eegee's on their marquee signs around town. The logo experienced a bit of a change over the next few years.
A ribbon began to underline the eegee's wording and then a lightning bolt extended through the logo. This logo was the standard for years. You probably grew up with this logo.
Finally, a design firm located in Flagstaff, Arizona created the last known eegee's logo. The firm, We Are William, created a brand you will see in most of the local stores now. This is the logo most people have grown to love. It's simple and easy to recognize.
As eegee's has opened their latest stores, we are beginning to see a new logo emerging. They've begun to drop the whole eegee's word and are opting to use just the E, G and S. It's new and different. Some say the change happened because people were having a hard time pronouncing the spelled out word. Others say it's to follow in the footsteps of McDonald's, Burger King and Dairy Queen who have reduced their names to initials (Ex: M, BK, DQ). For whatever the reason might be, we still love eegee's no matter what they look like.
It's what's on the inside of the bag, not the outside.
eegee's is the latest brand to jump on the Netflix and Chill bandwagon and we want to know what you think. Is it harmless fun, or a classless trend you expect eegee's to be better than? There seem to be a lot of people who have an opinion on this.
If you don't know about Netflix and Chill, it's code for hooking up, banging, bumping uglies etc.
eegee's is a family establishment yes. They want Moms to bring their children in and grab lunch or dinner. Though, eegee's also has a college demographic they need to cater to. This creates a bit of a clash, but where do you draw the line?
Let's get serious for a minute. This post was posted on twitter and 36% of twitter users are under 18. While teen pregnancy is down across America, Arizona teen pregnancy rates are higher than the national average. This is why some people are having issue with brands bringing Netflix and chill into their marketing.
