In Tucson, Arizona, Eegee’s recently set a new record for the highest watermelon drop from an airplane. The restaurant broke the 50-year-old record with a height of 200 feet, surpassing the previous mark of 167 feet. The decision to perform this stunt was driven by the early arrival of summer in Tucson and the launch of their watermelon flavor, typically reserved for July as the Flavor of the Summer in Southern Arizona.
Watermelon has always been a popular flavor at Eegee’s, particularly in the Tucson area. In 2020, the company even fulfilled a special request to provide watermelon frozen refreshments to frontline workers in the city. Starting on May 23, Eegee’s will offer their watermelon frozen refreshments throughout the summer, satisfying the demand for this refreshing flavor.
The watermelon drop stunt not only broke a record but also served as a fun and memorable way to kick off the summer season for Eegee’s. Customers can now enjoy the iconic watermelon flavor at their favorite Eegee’s locations in Tucson and beyond. Eegee’s commitment to creativity and innovation continues to delight customers and make them a beloved part of the Tucson community.
