Here are two sample codes, already used:

Quote:
A3C5X7X4T9 and 6D6T6C1A5G


It's 10 digits, alphanumeric, and it can start with either a letter or a number.

Someone in the Survival Code thread said they managed to accidentally enter a correct code just messing around with the sequence. I would advise against doing this, since if you stumble upon a code in a pack that someone has just bought or may eventually buy, you'd kind of be taking some of the fun out of it for them. (And I know in the cases of many, they wouldn't even buy the gum if it weren't for the icefly.)

Just to provide more info as to where they are available...I finally found some in Walgreens. Only one box of the Rain flavor had the icefly, and every pack in that box was marked. Fortunately all ten were still there (I may have pulled the box from the back of the shelf...). So I just bought the whole box. $14.90 for a box of ten. -.-;

I'm glad some of you are finding the icefly packs.
I've checked at two stores so far (Walgreens and Rainbow Foods) and saw many flavors but no limited edition packs or packs with iceflies.
I'll have to keep looking, I guess. (I just hope the special packs were distributed evenly nationwide.)

The codes go number-letter-number-letter or vice versa, so if the character before it is a letter, you know it's a number, et cetera.

All the codes I've seen alternate between letters and numbers. If it's a z there will be a number before and after it. If it's a 2 there will be letters.

Also, I bought React2 Mint and React2 Fruit 3-packs today. All had icefly & codes.
I think instead of exp. dates for the three packs, or even a 10 pack from Costco, we should start putting the UPC number. I assume the new ice fly designed packages have different UPC's than the older designs.
React2 Mint 3-Pack: 22000 11700
React2 Fruit 3-Pack: 22000 11777

I seriously doubt they would change the UPCs, unless they were sadistic. No reason to change a UPC for the same product with different artwork/packaging.

I got gummed at Target, yay!
Expiration date = 05 Sept 12
on the outside of a multipack of Limited Edition Cobalt.

Had trouble with the code until i realized that the B was really an 8.

I'm glad to hear that other flavors will be getting the codes, as I'm going to have to give away a lot of gum at the office pretty soon.

I went to a *LOT* of stores this weekend, looking for single-packs, and it was amazing to see so many shelves with an empty slot where the Cobalt used to be.

Went to Walmart tonight and picked up my gum. Also picked up a pack of Vortex with the icefly on it. What's interesting is the expiration date on this pack is far from what is consistent with others.



That's right 19FEB12.

@Chon_Lee: My 3-pack of React2 fruit w/icefly has an exp. date of 26FEB12. In line with your Green Apple Vortex. Maybe the fruit flavored gums have a shorter shelf life.
