When Did CVS Decide to Stop Selling Mountain Dew Code Red?
July 25, 2006
…and why didn’t I get the memo?
They had me at hello; or 4 12-packs for $10, according to my Sunday circular.
I was all ready to go clean them out. I was even braving the rain that pretty much hindered any delusions of grandeur I had about getting my errands done today.

Shash Gets Her Errands Done Before the Apocalypse = 0
After spending 10 minutes scouring the store for any sign of the Code Red (hey, did you know they also don’t carry Olay Touch of Sun either? I’m only here to help, people) I finally ask a manager where for art thou it might be.
He must have noticed the desperation, or even a slight twitch in my eyes, for he took 4 steps back and said, with a fear in his voice only reserved for my husband when he forgets to change out the finished toilet roll and I find out about it, “I don’t think we carry that anymore. It wasn’t a big seller.”
I answer: “You’re kidding, right? I’m being Punk’d right now, aren’t I?”
He didn’t answer, but he did leave a smoke trail as he got the heck away from me.
I guess it is too much to ask to have all of the Pepsi brands for sale when you put a bargain out there for the world to purchase. Sheesh!
In other news, I haven’t killed the kids yet. They’re trying to do each other in without any assistance from me.
Details are sketchy, but it may include a pool, an inflated alligator, and only one can possess said alligator, so one has to push the other off. Never mind that there’s a wall there, and that concrete is what made it; He’ll bounce!
…Right, Mom??

I hate when good stuff gets discontinued right after I’ve discovered it… Or they change the “taste” of it calling it “new and improved” which it usually isn’t. Why do they do that?
New reader here, I’ll be back

Welcome, Trish!! It’s nice to have you stop by!
To answer your question, it’s all about the mighty dollar, or many of them. And I’m usually their target sucker in most cases. Sad, no?
