Alrighty now, this is getting serious. I am looking for this particular product:

The distributor for the whole state of Texas is Dr Pepper, and they say they don't place it. If I find it anywhere, it will be because a particular store has their own distribution center that sends it to them. I'm going to try Whole Foods and GNC later today. I used to buy it at Eckerd and they were bought by CVS and now they don't carry it anymore. I had a little stockpile and never dreamed that it would become unavailable! Now I'm totally out and can't find more.

If and when I find it, I'll buy several cases at first and then order it regularly after that. If anyone knows where I can get some, could you please let me know and I'll contact that store and see if they'll ship me some? I really appreciate any help!

OOOHHH Kathy, I LOVE a challenge. I'll try to help!

LOL! You go, girl! I checked Whole Foods (no), GNC (nah), Big Lots (nope), Walgreens (NO!) and Kroger (sorry, ma'am, but no) ... what's a girl to do? I received a reply from Arizona Beverages this afternoon -- I had emailed them yesterday -- and they said they wanted to help and would go to work on it. The lady I talked to this morning at Arizona said they don't sell from their plant or they would send me some.

I can't believe that in America, in the 21st century, a product is made but I can't BUY it!

I even looked on Ebay! No luck yet. I can't search my grocery stores online but I've got to go to Jewel tomorrow where they have a good selection so I'll let you know. Can't think of where else they would stock this. What about big licquor stores?

[Katpo]

I can't believe Arizona can't tell me where they ship this stuff, and the name of a store that I can call. That's just ridiculous!

I agree! Boy are we alike....... Jim makes fun of me all the time. Yesterday, I was on the phone with QVC about the autoship on my vitamins. Long story short, I was trying to get them to change some procedure and he was laughing and singing "To Dream the Impossible Dream" very quietly from the other side of the room. It was hard not to laugh.

No luck on the tea yet and I don't know if I'll make it to the store today BUT I saw an add in Cooking Light Magazine for a New Crystal Light called Sunrise. It is Ruby RedGrapefruit. It claims 100% vitamin C and a good source of calcium. Thought you might be interested!

Another email from Arizona (this one from the Regional Sales Director) tells me that it is available in Florida Publix stores, and in Arizona at Albertsons and Hi Health. Maybe I'll have to move up my trip to Florida and load up on it!

I will look for the new Crystal Light! If it tastes good, it will scratch this itch I have for SF Ruby Red! Thanks very, very much!

Kathy, I'll look in my Publix store since I shop there every day. If they have it, I'm sure you'll be able to get it in Jacksonville when you go since that is the distribution center for Publix!

You might check Albertson's on-line. They have a delivery service in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and have 2 pages of various Arizona Tea ... just not the specific one you want. But I'm thinking they might special order it for you if you want several cases.

Sam's Club also has a big selection of Arizona Teas ... again, not the one you want ... but they might also special order it for you.

Good Luck, girl! And sorry about Zuki's "lipstick" problem ... I had to laugh at your comment though. Does sound like a "man" thing to me!

Kathy, I finally got to Jewel and they did not carry your Arizona Tea Total Trim. They had the stress and energy. They also did not carry the Crystal Light Grapefruit. I asked about both and they said they will have the Crystal Light, it's just not in yet. The Arizona Tea they said isn't even on their list to order. They are going to ask the supplier why it isn't available to them. I'll let you know.
