The ICEE Company

I just don't get it. I hate it when they raise prices on stuff. Take Icee for example, Icee is my third favorite frozen drink (behind Slush Puppy and Frozen Coke, both of which are no longer sold in my area). I get probably 2-3 32oz. Icees a week and usually pay around $1.19-1.29 for them, depending where I go. A few weeks ago I went to a gas station near my house and found that they raised the price to $1.40. I paid it, but in my head I said I'd never go back. There are two other gas stations within a mile either way of this station. So today (a very hot day, a day I decided to ride my bike to work) I go to the gas station across the street from where I work to get an Icee. First of all, the Icee wasn't that great because two people before me got Icees. They're always best when they've been churning for a while undesturbed. Then I go to pay for it and guess what...IT COSTS $1.40! I guess it's everywhere now and it sucks.
I tried to e-mail Icee to find out what the national average price for a 32oz. Icee is, but there's no contact e-mail on the web site. If someone knows a way to get in touch with them, please let me know.
