So my 12-packs of Red Fusion are slowly being eroded. Mom says she hasn't seen it in Bryan, either. I finally got the bright idea to call DrPepper. They swear they are selling it in town at Walgreen's. So I call the nearest Walgreen, and get a guy at the register. I ask, and he says "huh?"
"It's a soda." He puts me on hold. "Yeah, I think we have it."
"Red Fusion the DrPepper product?" and he puts me on hold again.
Then, "Yeah, we have all kinds- Red Fusion, Green Fusion..." I know damn well there's no such thing as Green Fusion, so I say "Are you sure? There's no such thing as Green Fusion."
"Well, I'm at the register so I can't check, you want me to put you through to someone else?"
"Yes, please."
"Okay, I'll put you through to photo."
WTF?? Woman with barely understandable accent (Vietnamese, I think) comes on; I ask.
"Yah, we got that, it comes in a box."
"A box? It's a DrPepper product, like a soda?"
"Oh, no, we don't got that." Aaargh!
