Dear Forum Folks,

TAXIBOSS likes his Vitamin Water B-Relaxed, but was just told that it has been discontinued. This is WAR!!!

The flavor has been poorly distributed and is hard to find. But those of you who are VW lovers know that it was the best flavor by far, right?

Please join me in my campaign to bring Jack back by contacting Glaceau at this page:

If you've got a blog or participate in other forums, please get the word out. I need all the relaxation I can get, and will have to go into B-Relaxed rehab if I don't get my Jackfruit fix soon.

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate you taking the time to drop the folks at Galceau/Coca-Cola a line. I'm starting to get the shakes!

Michael

And they've also discontinued Endurance, the Peach Mango flavor. What next??? I live in California, mango and avocados are staples in my diet!!

You're crackin' me up dude! I have this visual of Michael Laskow sitting on his throne with a big goblet of vitamin water in front of him, crown tilted lazily to one side, laptop on his lap, pulling strings.

Consider it done. Go for it!

...with a small pool of liquid at his feet from the goblet subtley shaking.

I'm starting to sweat and hallucinate.... c'mon man, this ain't funny. If I don't find some Jackfruit and find it soon, it's going to get ugly. Even the receptionist at Glaceau told me it was her favorite flavor. I kicked my Coke habit and used the jackfruit as my softdrink methadone. I'm going to go postal if I don't get some soon. Wait until my next email goes out with the request for everybody on my list to email those punks. They don't know who they be screwin' wid.

If things get really bad, I hear they have some in Mexico. I can do a quick run South of the Border and make it back before my wife and kids ever know I'm gone. I'm mean really... what the hell am I supposed to do... start drinking WATER?

Dry guy,

Okay, this is not funny. I'd send you a jackfruit, Michael, but have you actually tasted one? Or smelled one? Seriously, the jackfruit has such a stench that when I first was given the opportunity to try one during my time in Malaysia, I nearly tossed my cookies. I couldn't do it. What an odor! I'll put my word in with the Vitamin water, though it's entirely possible that their production staff could no longer stand the smell of it in their manufacturing plant. But we'll still beg them on your behalf. We don't want you passing out this Friday for the live video!

Done. Just sent them a plea.

Thanks my little media superstar

They hide the jackfruit stench with guava. It's the fine wine of sugar water drinks. Oh, I miss it so.

BTW, I saw that you're going to Kauai. There's a GREAT little homestyle noodle place I go to there when I moderate panels at the Kauai Music festival. I can't remember the name, but it's about 5 minutes from the airport. It's off the chart. If you're staying anywhere near the airport, I'll email Jason Blume and get the name. Try the Country Kitchen near Kapa'a town for great banana walnut pancakes slathered in coconut syrup. Not as good as Vitamin Water B-relaxed Jackfruit, but it helps to take your mind off the fact that it doesn't EXIST any more

your shaky friend,
Michael

hi Michael, it may be a long shot, but have you tried one of my favorite places - the "99 cent only" store? they sometimes have the last stock of products that are getting makeovers or being discontinued.

i know this isn't what you want to hear, but if you do have to break down and drink (gasp) water, those metro mints are way good (and horribly expensive). the cherry mint rocks.

Michael:
Want to get the shakes, really? Try getting an e-mail from Taxi telling you that you're getting a response to your last submission!
