Why are they using anything imported anyways? All that the tariffs have done in my life so far is make me question what these "local" "American" companies have been doing. Mind you, two phrases have come back into my speech:
"No company is your friend, even if they make something you like." & " Silence, brand!"
Companies affected by the tariffs are now among the companies whose products I actively avoid.

Could be just aluminum for the cans, doesnt have to be that they are importing anything just that suppliers are.

It's the raw goods that American companies need. Most American manufacturers assemble in the United States. So they have to raise prices because if the raw goods imported.
Trump is so dumb he doesn't think past his tiny ass hands.

Guys...
The product is called Arizona Iced TEA. The main ingredient is.... drumroll brewed tea.
How many tea-farms do you know of in the US? There are some small-scale ones, but only one large-scale one at 127 acres.
India has over 800 major estates and ~60,000 small tea gardens across the country

If the companies were responsible with all that recycling we've been doing over the last half-century, they wouldn't need to import raw metal. We'd be able to reuse all that glass and metal.
I guess this might be the only way to get American consumers to understand that the point was always Reduce, reuse, and recycle in descending importance; rather than the other way around.

Then they should have long since been growing their tea and fruit in upstate NY, as well as focusing on sourcing their water responsibly.

I don't exempt a company from doing something if their supplier does it. They're at least complicit.

Because, decades ago, they should've guessed that a demented clown will take over the US..?
Seems a tad unreasonable.

Lol, yeah, THAT strategy would keep it at 99 cents.

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.
-
Complicit in... Importing goods that aren't made in the US or have a substantially more limited supply?
What are you saying they are complicit in here, trade with other companies?

No, decades ago, they should have recognized that we should always focus on domestic production and domestic labor.

I thought it might have something to do with protesting as well, a tad. I mean for sure their costs have gone up, as they have over the years. Exactly because they've kept the price the same on purpose and had that as a marketing point, they could now garner quite a bit of attention towards this tariff-idiocy by finally yielding and raising the price. It's kind of a win-win for them, probably, unless the sales plummet.

The practices and policies of their suppliers. If the supply is limited, let it be limited.

Good luck 1) growing tea and fruit in upstate NY and 2) finding the workforce for jobs that quite a significant portion of Americans are literally physically unable to perform.
