Two nights ago, a friend and I found over a dozen Odwalla drinks in a local natural food store dumpster. This is NOT a typical find, as Odwalla backhauls its out of date product back to the distribution centers.
.
If you can find one of these distro centers, I have heard countless stories of dumpster goldmines. Several college roommates of mine used borrow their mom’s car while back home in DC. These were not automobile-oriented folks, so I inquired “why the car??” They told me that they got so much Odwalla (and Naked juice too) that they FILLED THE CAR!!
.
So returning to the Odwalla find… With years of dumpster diving under my belt, I have NEVER come across Odwalla. Is this perhaps indicative of an energy-saving manuver on the distributor’s part? No longer will fuel be wasted (on the trucker’s part) to drag valueless product back to the distribution center? Is this a corporate decision? Will there be more widely-distributed Odwalla access in our trash picking future? I’m dying to know, & I’ll keep ya’ll posted on any more finds.
