Spotted! In Delaware, Ohio!

As many of you have gathered through my blogs and my Facebook, I've become a complete fan (alright...fine, I'm an addict!) to a drink called Cascade Ice. Cascade Ice is something that I located in Seattle while visiting the family over Christmas and New Years. While I was there, I drank a bottle (if not two) everyday. With my addiction to Diet Coke, it's a huge deal that I would willingly pass up a Diet Coke for a bubbling water.... however, I will say that Cascade Ice has helped with my New Years Resolution and keeping up with it! It's February 13th, and I am still going strong on kicking up my water intake. I won't lie, I'm pretty proud of myself! I'm usually done with my resolutions by January 15th!

Since coming back to Columbus, I've been on the never ending search for the product being sold in my area.

*The 2 Calorie Sparkling Water is suppose to be sold at Marc's, but my only two locations near by never seem to carry it. I always leave the store after randomly stopping by to check depressed and sad. I leave the store remembering how great it is that I can order with free shipping online directly, and arrive at my front door. However, the only down fall for this is that when the horrid Ohio weather kicks in with the negative degree weather, and I come home to find a few bottles froze and exploded. This just confirms that I dislike Mother Nature and her temper during the winter. Not only is she messing with my commute to work, now she is sacrificing my Cascade Ice. Not cool! Wouldn't you know that the ones that exploded were my favorite flavor... Blueberry Watermelon! Not only did it explode, they exploded all over me in my work clothes! I was more upset about losing a bottle or two rather than it exploding all of my clothes. :)

*The Organic Sparkling Water... I've again been on the hunt for this one. According to the company website, it is sold at Kroger. I've been to EVERY Kroger in my area and haven't located it yet. I'm absolutely not against getting online at Kroger.com and printing off a sheet with every single Kroger in the Greater Columbus Area to locate it, although I'd love to conserve on gas as much as I possibly can. :)

I have put out an urgent request to all of my Columbus based friends who walk into Kroger to keep their eye balls open!

Then it happened...

Today...

I receive a text that Cascade Ice Organic Sparkling Water WAS SPOTTED!



Not only was it spotted only 30 minutes from my front door, it was spotted in the town I lived for 10 years! The only Kroger that I didn't think to check was down the street from my parents... and it has been there the entire time! This will teach me to forget about the obvious places!

To anyone who has come to my house since my first shipment of Cascade Ice came in, I've offered to share a bottle with them so they too can become addicted to it. Courtney, my darling BFF who located the Sparkling Water at the Delaware Kroger, picked up a bottle to see what all of my madness was about and agreed that she can see why I love it so much!

Here's the problem: I cannot get to Kroger in Delaware until atleast next Saturday! As much as I love it, I have to keep my hair appointment for tomorrow or people may start pointing and laughing at me in the hall. Thankfully, I have a few bottles to keep me going up until then... my fingers are crossed they don't run out of it by the time I speed my way down highway 23 on Saturday!
