Shit's getting real

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'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.
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. -

Today i learned that in the us arizona tea is extremely good and cheap, while here in europe you can only get it imported so its pretty expensive...

Nah if the company specifically contracts with Arizona to put their branding where the 99c would go they can do that.
Not sure if my stripes has their branding on it

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.

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

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.

In Europe without industrial honey bees we would not have apples, crops amd stuff because they are almost solely responsible for the pollination.

Why the fuck are vegans not eating honey? It's nectar?
Please don't tell me it's to do with exploitation of insects.

What's an industrial honeybee? In my head I have bees buzzing around wearing tiny hi-vis vests and helmets.
