It’s been more than 40 years in the making and it’s finally happening: a new permanent/flagship/”everyday flavor” has landed on the Eegee’s drink menu.
The new flavor is Mango! The winning and permanent flavor was announced earlier this morning at the Irvington Road and I-19 location.
Earlier this month, folks had the chance to vote for the flavor that will join Eegee’s Strawberry, Lemon, and Piña as everyday flavors. Everyone had the option to vote for Orange, Lime, Mango, Cherry, Raspberry, and Watermelon Cucumber.
“With over 28,000 votes, it was a close race, but Mango came out on top,” the fast-food sandwich shop shared on social media. “Thanks to everyone who voted. Mango now is an everyday flavor!”
Watermelon Cucumber came in second place.
So, what’s next? Well, the official launch date for Mango is set to be at the end of April. In other words, there’s plenty of time to start prepping for a massive brain freeze.
Stay tuned for the exact release date.

More about MattAt 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.
