I've seen other posts about picking them up at a store, but after 2 hours and more than a dozen stores, no one has any of these. Tried CVS, Walgreens, Wal-Mart, Big Lots, Dollar stores, Freds, every gas station and 2 supermarkets. Dozens of other brands of energy drinks, but no one selling these. Could it be they are discontinued and simply selling off some old stock, or generating some quick cash before they close the doors?
I don't know, how much money you think they are "making" when selling them for basically the cost of shipping, which is literally what they claim........ Seems they would be better off auctioning them or selling them to like a East Coast Marketplace/Ocean State Job Lot or Building 19
Don't get me wrong, I ordered 3 cases, then 4 days later ordered 6 more cases.
However, after seeing these missing from store shelves that they list on their website as selling the product, the thought did cross my mind that these were old expired product that should have been tossed out. Reading posts at SD, they claim the expiration date of Feb 2009 should have been printed as Feb 2010, which is why they are giving it away. I don't know anyone in retail or bar ownership that would buy a product to resell with an expired date. That does limit what they can do.
Or worse, if they are closing up shop, then just like some other Hot Deals, they deliver a few to get the excitement going, as well as reorders, then withdraw all PayPal funds and leave 1000's of orders unfullfilled. (cyberwings if I remember the name correctly, was one that got me in the past). The ordering method was a little strange.
Another strange thing to me is a different product they sell, Red Devil, can be bought "retail" at Big Lots for less than 60 cents a can......
SD thread about Red Devil for 60 cents
It is probaby all legit and I can't wait until my orders arrive.
But in the meantime,
where can you find a store that sells these so that I can get a sample of what to expect?
