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!!

Welcome back Lucky Lime, we've Missed You!!

It’s March! Which finally means Root Beer and Banana are gone. Enter a fan favorite, Lucky Lime! Thank eegee’s for not trying to do something crazy with this month’s flavor and keeping March for Lime. Just think of all the #SpikedIce drinks we could make with this flavor. It just goes so well with so many alcohols. Tequila, vodka, soco, the list goes on. We may need to do a #SpikedIce post this month on this delicious flavor.


Unfortunately the same can’t be said for the wackadoodle food for the month. Enter three microwaved Kraft mac & cheese fry options. The Mighty Mac & Cheese Trio they’re calling it. They’ve got cheesy mac & chicken, fries mac attack and mac diggity dog.

If only eegee’s was truly open all night, I see this working really well with my fellow college crowd after a night of binge drinking. A good second option to Los Betos or Jack in the Box curly fries. Your New Year’s Resolutions are definitely over with these items.

It looks like we won’t be seeing the UofA Pomline this month for March Madness. Each year we’re used to seeing the pomline Dip, Dunk and Do it Again! And last year we got to see Rico and Evelynn compete for slam dunks.

Apparently from their commercial the food choices provided by eegee’s are now decided by a focus group made up of an incredibly old dude, a rico suave guy, ‘smart girl with glasses’, and a hispanic girl. This is definitely the group of people I think of when I think of mac & cheese on fries. Maybe next month old dude will come out with a Prune Juice eegee’s! Ooo I think I just thought of their new April Fool’s flavor!

Checking out social responses, no one really seems that intrigued about the mac, all the talk is about Lucky Lime. Granted it's only March 3rd but Twitter only has 4 tweets about mac & cheese and Lucky Lime has 10 times that.

 

The delish snickerdoodle cookie is back this month as well. I’ll take two please!


While March isn't perfect this month, it definitely is more exciting than last month! We'll pretend February didn't happen, it was weird, maybe because it was a Leap Year? Bring on Lucky Lime all month long...fingers crossed Peach N Berry is coming up soon!

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.
