Here is a personal favorite of mine. Silence brands everywhere.

We’ll know we’re in trouble when Costco raises the price of the hotdog

Why are they using anything imported anyways?
Ah yes, let me just buy local from all of the American tea farms, American bauxite mines, and American aluminum refineries. Oh wait, America doesn’t actually produce meaningful amounts of any of those resources. Pretty much the only thing Arizona would reasonably be able to buy domestically is the sugar.
The US imports lots of Aluminium and refines it into Aluminum
-
Nah if the company specifically contracts with Arizona to put their branding where the 99c would go they can do that.
I didn't know that! that kinda sucks though
-
And the costs are not high for the tea itself, which is my point. Its hard to say exactly which supplier, what component of flavoring, etc would be an issue for costs that caused an increase (or if they just wanted to use it as an excuse).
Point is, it doesnt matter why. There are lots of imports for various materials for functionally any company in the US.
I'd assume that after years and years of absorbing rising prices, they just are finally at a point where they have to to stay afloat. I'm sure just the aluminum tariffs are a huge reason.

Tea famously does not grow in the US.
Plus, they sell in aluminum cans, which probably are sourced from Canada or Mexico, or are made in the US from aluminum sourced from Canada or Mexico.
And of course all of their machinery requires upkeep using parts and chemicals which may or may not be made abroad.

I dont know about staying afloat, its just the one kind of can thats been under $1.
That said, yeah they definitely have less wiggle than they used to. It also goes to show how much they were making on that 99 cent can back in the 90s.

I have a job at a large corporate retail store and we recently raised a lot of prices, mostly for things that haven't been hit by tariffs yet. The owner is using the tariffs as an excuse to jack up prices for no reason.
Even if all the tariffs were done away with tomorrow, corporate America is still going to jack up the prices. -

Arizona tea was already $1.79 at most places around here before Trump even became president the first time. There's pretty much only 1 store I can go and get them for the 99 cents advertised on the can, and they don't even carry anything other than the Mucho Mango juice

wrote last edited by [email protected]Only Circle K does that. All other gas stations just sell the regular cans that say $0.99 for more than $0.99.

A lot of stores around here covered the .99 up with a store sticker 5 years ago, which I thought was blasphemy.

Used to hate Arizona quite a bit because it felt super bougie and expensive for what's essentially just a regular ice tea. Developed a taste for it over the years and like it quite a bit nowadays because it's partly sweetened with stevia which makes it taste very pleasantly. Quite unfortunate that most of the flavours sold here aren't vegan because they insist on 0,1% of honey in the ingredients

Vegans don't eat Honey? Huh.
Makes sense when you think about it, tho.
