Ordinary to Outrageous

I was afraid to do it to early (but according to other store displays, even last month was not too early . . . ), but our limited edition holiday flavors are now available!

Black Ice -

Black Ice

In an effort to make the Girl Scouts blush with envy, we have created Black Ice – the rival to the chemically enhanced Thin Mint  Our all natural concoction includes peanuts, pretzels and all natural rice cereal drenched in an organic spearmint / peppermint oil.  Get your breath of fresh air without even stepping outside!

Mistle-Tow

Mistle-Tow

In 2007, we were asked to produce a product for a movie set. The movie was called Moonlight & Mistletoe and stared Tom Arnold and Candace Cameron Bure and was produced for the Hallmark Channel.  The filmmakers were looking for as many mistletoe related products as they could find.  Mind you, this was a Christmas holiday film and it was being filmed in Chester, VT in the middle of August!  Needless to say, after a little thinking, it crossed 0ur minds that we needed the product to have red, green and white to match the holiday season and mistletoe theme and yet still retain the Road Crew touch.

So we took pistachios (green), dried cranberries (red) and an all natural rice cereal (white) and drenched it in white chocolate (more white!).  Add a tow truck with a wreath hanging off the rear and you get Mistle-Tow!

The flavor?  Ho, Ho, MY!  This stuff is GOOD!  The long nut flavor life of pistachio hangs with the sweetness of the white chocolate until you hit a cranberry – boom – a blast of tart citrus flavor!  It makes your tongue yell to do it all again!  It’s so good we had to put a caution label on it!

Dig in while you can because after Christmas is over, so is Mistle-Tow  – until next year!

We’ve been lucky here in Jericho, VT as hurricane Irene did not lay her hands on our town, but just cried a little rain.  But she cried quite a bit in other towns, and rivers overflowed with tears and tore our state apart.  The stories are the same and the pictures are heartbreaking.

We have a booth at the Champlain Valley Fair in Essex, VT (another VT town spared the destruction) and have spoken hundreds of Vermonters.  All are shocked and saddened by the aftermath of Irene.  I was unable to reach our facility in Richmond Vermont until yesterday.  Again, we were spared, but others in low-laying areas were not.  Richmond Village was a scene of neighbors helping neighbors remove sopping wet belongings and furniture from homes, while farmers pump lakes of water from their fields.

In an effort to help those whose losses are extreme, Rex’s Outrageous will donate 10% of all sales of Road Crew Crunch from the Champlain Valley Fair (as well as orders placed on www.rexsoutrageous.com by 9/5) to the Vermont Disaster Relief Fund (www.vermont211.org).  100% of all funds will be utilized to support survivors with unmet long-term needs post-Irene.  Visit us in the center of the Miller South building at the Fair or place an order on our website.  Get Diggin’ In so VT can Dig Out!
