    The day a can of Arizona costs more than 99¢ is the day we riot
  • @inyerd123
    any company that can succeed at this level without advertising earns my utmost respect.
  • @andrewcruz1931
    I always thought Arizona was created/run by a hippie making tea out in the Arizona desert. Two Italian guys in NYC....never would of guessed .
  • Hearing about yourself in a documentary really lets you know that the grind was worth it.
  • @robweissman5952
    Not just cheaper... Arizona TASTES BETTER then Snapple too.
  • @680production
    I've been to a shady liquor store that marked it up to $1.99
  • If Arizona finds out your store charges more than 99 cents they do their best to keep it out of that store
  • I always saw the Arizona cans for a while and never tried till someone recommended, now I love it. Also I think those cool looking plastic bottles make the tea worse some how, I prefer the cans.

    Company Man! I have a story about Arizona Tea! So I recently worked for a gas station chain that is prominent in the southwest/west of the USA, Circle K. Circle K wanted to jack up the price of Arizona Tea in Circle Ks. But the Arizona Tea company said no, they wanted to stick to the 99 cent price tag. Since that happened, Circle K has stopped selling Arizona Teas, at least in the Arizona Region/Southwest region, and they now sell Peace Tea, which is made and distributed by Coca-Cola. Sad, really. But I am proud of Arizona Tea for sticking to their guns and not raising the price of the tea.
  • I love their RX ENERGY TONIC that comes in the yellow can. The first time I tried it, I fell in love. We've been happy ever since.

    I live in Phoenix, AZ and have always assumed it was an Arizona product. Like, I thought it was one of the perks of living in this state. It's stupid hot here, and cheap, cold, Arizona iced tea sells like hotcakes.
  • @ARKOVZ
    Arizona drinks were my to go to non alcoholic drink or that isn't water in college. Cheap, delicious and almost everywhere.
  • @xAngelsOfHellx
    YO! Update on this man. The company has done some pretty unique things recently, especially when you look at their new Hard Tea line! They started in booze and have come full circle back into it haha!!
  • It also has sort of a unique, love or hate it taste, like there’s an ‘Arizona after-taste’ distinct from other ice teas. I was abolutely addicted to them as a teenager so something worked on me.
  • @darthvader6864
    I got introduces to Arizona back around 2006 when my parents would give me about 5$ to spend a week, whenever I walked home with friends from elementary we would stop at the store and buy an Arizona to me it was a really good deal exactly for the 3 reasons mentioned size, price and it looked cooler than just a bottle of water sometimes I’d buy it along with some Cheetos that were back then 99cents and today they are 1.29$ and Arizona’s remain .99$
  • @malirabbit6228
    Sometimes Walgreens will have a 2 for 1 sale. I stock up on the diet options and get at least 20 cans at once.
  • @tggrizzly1814
    "But the price on the can tho!" 😂😂😂😂😂
  • @-Katch-
    they also have a bottled version, and that has went up in price this past year. They used to be pre priced for $1 but now they removed the price and raised the cost. Most stores you go to now have the bottles for $1.19-1.29. Cans still .99 cents though
