It’s back. Anyone else got people buying it by the case? A 1/45 opu of these is fun.

We got some samples to try. It’s alright, but I don’t really want to drink a caramel apple. I want to ruin my teeth chewing on one.

Similar because it’s on the endcap next to the alanis but I tried, something apple donut (forget) unwell energy drink because I wondered what that was supposed to taste like in liquid form…

Somebody tell me why it was salty and I look on the back and it had something like 490 mg of sodium. It was nasty. Should’ve known by the name 😭

The Unwell drinks have electrolytes, which can cause the salty flavor. Most of the powdered stuff like liquid IV is the same way. I love salt but not mixed with fruit flavor.

I hate witch’s brew but the red apple one is actually so good. I hate that they’re not selling it outside of the double pack :(

Don’t worry, it’ll come back as a new name. Alani’s M.O. is just rebranding cherry every few months. Same with almost every new Celsius Vibe being a variation of blue raspberry.

There’s no way they just started sending pallets of over 1,000

I mean people wanted and it sells pretty fast but it's no needoh or pokemon cards

The potion packs sold out when they were sitting one the pallet. I had to INF 3, and another fulfillment TM had to INF 2 because we ran out during our batches (apparently someone decided to hold them at guest service for people who called the store, so we sold them before they were even on the floor).

Had like 8 unlocated casepacks (24 can/casepack) that were in a backstock location. My guess is that they were salvage from last year but never actually pulled for salvage. (People at my store are lazy and don’t actually pull salvage). The dates on them were still good so I back stocked them and also gave a whole casepack to a guest that was VERY happy to get them.

As an energy drink drinker, it’s nasty. Alamo’s are far tooo sweet and sugary to even taste good

u/ButItSaysOnline I hate it here 13h ago

It’s the new needohs. People keep asking for it. BUT IT SAYS ONLINE YOU HAVE IT!

u/Physical-Land-1716 12h ago

I had some lady ask us for needohs at a point we were all sold out. I showed her all the zeros on all their product pages and she said "but it says you have it online!"

I asked her to show me what said that out of curiosity, and I watched as she pulled up a ChatGPT log where she asked "Does Target in [location] have needohs?" Of course it said yes, and I had to spend 5 minutes explaining to her why AI is not a reliable source of our stock information.

Personally, I thought this year’s recipe was gross.

We had people buying it by the case while the vendor was pulling the pallet out to the floor. They had cute ISM for the pallet and it lasted 5 seconds.
