Gettin CRUNK!!! back on the shelf in Chattanooga!!!
I first learned of CRUNK!!! Energy Drink in September of 2007 while competing in the Bent Fork Bike Festival Rail Jam in Knoxville, TN. That is where I first tasted the best energy drink on the market. After the rail jam, I began to look for this drink in every store I visited in the Chattanooga, TN area with no luck at all. Then one afternoon while getting the boat gassed up at my usual spot near my home called Sunrise Market #2 (Conoco) located at 6405 Hixson Pike I noticed that they had CRUNK!!! on their shelf. I began to purchase one every time I stopped; this store is my favorite place because they carry the best selections of everything I need when heading out for a long day wakeboarding on the lake.
Not long after that I attended the 1st Annual Rail-O-Ween Jam put on by American Boat Center in Knoxville, which encouraged costumes for the event. I could not think of a better costume than to dress up as Lil’ Jon, co-founder of CRUNK!!! Energy Drink. I later joined with CRUNK!!! and became part of their wakeboard ambassador program which involved lots of free CRUNK!!!
One day I stopped by the Sunrise Market #2 and noticed that CRUNK!!! was not on the shelf, and this surprised me because there was a lot there the day before. I asked the clerk to please bring it back because I couldn’t stand for Chattanooga to not have a location for me to purchase my favorite energy drink and he agreed to do so after I bugged him a couple times. A few weeks later I stopped by and saw it back on the shelf. The owner was working that day and his name is Harshal Patel, I thanked him for putting CRUNK!!! back on his shelf and explained to him who I was. He was delighted to allow me to bring my wakeboard in and get a picture with him next to his reinstated energy drink and to know I was a loyal customer.
