Netflix & Chill to Eegee's & Brain Chill

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. 

Our blog is called eegee's love for a reason. We love eegee's, you love eegee's. So, we want to know what you think. Sound off in our poll below, or if you feel more passionate about the matter you can contact eegee's directly here.

Should eegee's be using sex memes in their campaigns aimed at kids?

Everyone knows sex sells. You're taking things too seriously.

Ehh, I don't think Netflix and Chill is harmful. Do your thing eegee's.

It's irresponsible eegee's, stick to your products and leave sex out of it.

I am appalled. eegee's you should be more responsible.

How Do You Eat an Eegee's? Spoon vs Straw Edition

It's the 40-year-old debate, how do you eat your eegee's? People are either die-hard spoon fans though some prefer to sip softly on a straw. We want to know what you think.

Are you a hardcore spoon person, risking brain freeze with every bite? Or do you like to take your time, allowing the eegee's to melt enough to suck it up the plastic tube into your mouth?

Let your voice be heard in the poll below.

How Do You Eat Your Eegee's?

Spoon. There isn't any other way to do it.

Spoon, but people can eat it however they want.

Straw, but I understand why people eat it with a spoon.

Straw. Spoons are silly.

Meet the Tucson Taste Testers Covering November Featured Items

We found these two guys who have started reviewing eegee's featured items. We love this idea. It is a great way for you the consumers to tell eegee's how you are liking what they are doing.

A moment for honesty, the guys need to do their reviews at the beginning of the month so people can go try the food too. Featured items are gone at the end of the month, we don't want to have to wait a year to try the food you're reviewing.

With that being said, check out their latest video reviewing November's featured items.

SANDWICH

• Such a good call on the simplification of the Flamin' Hot Chicken Sandwich or the "Restrained Version."
• Appreciation for the "rather good Buffalo Ranch"
• You can add cheese for 30¢

BUFFALO RANCH FRIES

• "Buffalo Ranch Fries are America's poutine," we'll roll with you on that one. 
• Also, who wouldn't want a bucket of blue cheese crumbles? 
• Where does eegee's blue cheese come from? This is something we should find out. 

FLAVOR OF THE MONTH

• Cherry Cider as the Flavor of the Month to match the November Fall concept.
  Makes sense, since it is fall. 
• There are four eegee's flavors that include cherry in them. We think Cherry Limeade is better than Cherry Cider, though we are glad you are enjoying it. 
• Also, we Googled cider for you, here's the definition, "an unfermented drink made by crushing fruit, typically apples." And the difference between juice and cider is, "Apple juice and apple cider are both fruit beverages made from apples, but there is a difference between the two. Fresh cider is raw apple juice that has not undergone a filtration process to remove coarse particles of pulp or sediment. It takes about one-third of a bushel to make a gallon of cider." You're welcome.

SWEET HEAT COOKIE

• The comment about the Sweet Heat Cookie is completely valid, it is Mexican Hot Cholocate Flavored. I wish we could give you a prize. 

Can't wait to see how you guys feel about this month's Featured Item the Sausage N Peppers Sandwich. Get yourself to eegee's and make that video.

Some other things to be on the look out for this month is the eegee's coin canister. Did you know that all the money in that can goes to the charity on the can? Well, it does. Drop your change in there and do good today. 

This month’s change is going to MIKID. If you don’t know about them, here’s a quick excerpt from their website:

“MIKID’s history stemmed from one individual’s overwhelming concern for the lack of services provided for children in the mental health field and the many serious issues that were not being properly addressed.  

Sue Gilbertson began her quest in 1984 when her son, Eric, was diagnosed with mental illness. In trying to get assistance for her son, Ms. Gilbertson found herself amidst a conventional medical community that was simply not equipped to handle the problems her son was facing. She was confronted with a community that was indifferent and uncooperative to her needs. 

Ms. Gilbertson later came to realize that her struggles were not isolated incidents. She met other families facing similar situations in requesting help for their children who had behavior health challenges.  

Sue took on the responsibility of uniting these families and worked together with them to build a better mental health system for their children. Through the efforts of Ms. Gilbertson, families were first brought together in a support group on March 11, 1987. This led to the formation of MIKID. 

MIKID is a non-profit, licensed Outpatient Clinic, Family-Run organization in the State of Arizona and contracts with all the Regional Behavioral Health Authorities (RBHAs) in the State as well as Gila River Indian Community and the AZ Community Rehabilitation Services Provider to provide behavioral health services to youth and families throughout AZ. MIKID currently has offices in Phoenix, Tucson, Yuma, Casa Grande, and Prescott Valley.  

MIKID provides support, education, and skills development to families and their children as well as youth and young adults who are experiencing mental health and behavior challenges throughout Arizona. This is accomplished through MIKID staff providing one-on-one family support, peer support, health promotion, support groups, training and education, both individual and community-based living skills, respite, and connecting families and individuals with natural supports in the community. MIKID’s approach is grounded in the focus of assisting families and youth to have a strong and respected voice in the services they receive, the systems that provide those services, and their community at large. These services are unique in that those staff providing many of these services are family members, parents, and young adults who have personal “lived experience” in dealing with behavioral health needs. MIKID requires all staff who provide services to the parents we serve to have “lived experience”.”

Finally, eegee’s kid's meals this month will feature a seeded paper Christmas ornament you will be able to plant with your children to grow wildflowers.
