Netflix & Chill: Eegee’s releases a limited-time flavor inspired by ‘Stranger Things’

Jun 30, 20222 min read

The season finale of the Stranger Things series is coming in faster than you can remember your best friend’s Netflix password. With each and every viewing, fans of the show know the show’s a mystery that gets even more mysterious as the minutes on zip by.

However, whether you’ve watched any of the episodes or not, there’s something very peculiar coming to the Eegee’s menu. Beginning on Friday, July 1 until Friday, July 8, the local fast-food joint, which is mostly known for its slushy drinks, is releasing an “Upside Down” Eegee.

The limited-time flavor is the popular watermelon beverage that’s been dyed black with some red edible glitter on top. According to the crew, the new drink is “an Eleven on a scale of one to ten.” You know, because Eleven is the name of one of the wonky characters in Stranger Things. 

Therefore, if you’re in the mood to take your taste buds on a trip to the Upside Down, you’ll get a special edition Stranger Things-inspired sticker, too. The Eegee and the accompanying sticker will be available at all locations (not available through online ordering), while supplies last.

In other news…

Just last month, Tucsonans were surprised to hear that Eegee’s, for the first time, will be planning to expand outside of the state.

The restaurant, which has been quickly expanding its restaurant brand over the years, announced that the industry veteran Jason Vaughn has been appointed as its new chief executive officer (CEO). Vaughn will succeed Ron Petty, who served as the restaurant’s chairman for a decade before becoming CEO in 2019.

More about Matt

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.

He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.

Grant Road construction near Alvernon Way is nearing its end. Crews started in May 2024 and expect to finish October 2026. The finished road will have six lanes, landscaped medians, and buffered bike lanes.

Meanwhile, neighborhood restaurants have kept serving customers through lane shifts and driveway limits. Drivers who avoided the area may have skipped a few favorites. Now that the finish line is in sight, it is a good time to return. Here are four restaurants worth a visit.
