#1 Noo Yawk? What do Yankees know about iced tea?

If I liked tea (which I don't), I'd boycot them over the frou-frou decorated bottles alone.

#2 Even if AZ iced tea were made in AZ, it would be worth it.

And can't AZ sue NY for using their name?

#3 Gorb, no. It is possible only in EU. You can't bake a French bread in Netherlands. Well, you can, but can't call it "French" bread, unless it comes from France. Feta cheese can come only from Greece. If you produce an identical cheese, you have to call it maybe fermented goat cheese.

I consider it certifiably insane. Hence I can't support your ***** notion. Pardon my French. ;-)

#4 Well, maybe after we get that VAT thingy installed. Then we can claim to be about as good as the Europeans and we can start sueing the crap out of each other for ***** stuff. I'm going to start looking around for someone named gorb that I can sue now.

#6 Nassau County? That would make it Long Island iced tea.

#7 Wait til they start boycotting the USS Arizona. That will show those fascists!

#8 Massive hunger strikes! Boycott shoplifting! That's the ticket. Show'em we will.

#10 I once had some Monkey Ale. It was made in Arizona. Apparently, the Nimbus Brewing Company still exists.

#11 No such thing as bad publicity. The AZ Iced Tea are laughing all the way to the bank.

#12 Ignorance works on both sides. I've read some comments where people said they were going to start drinking Arizona Iced Tea in support of Arizona. Bugwits.

#13 I had a big glass of Swedened ice tea yesterday. That must make me one of the cool kids.

#14 Boycotts are generally good indicators of desperation oftentimes followed by resignation and apathy. Nothing to see here. Move along now will you.

#15 but at least they have that paragon of intellect Shakira down there (a colombian citizen btw) sorting the human rights aspects of this out...

#16 "The AZ Iced Tea are laughing all the way to the bank."

You may be right, lex. I went to the grocery store this morning and what did I find right in the front of the store? A big bin of Arizona Tea. I've never noticed them doing that before - I'm betting it's connected with the so-called boycott (I'd rather call it an idiot-cott.)

#17 Hey, Barbara, don't hate on Arizona Ice Tea's packaging. They have the best one-gallon jugs, bar none. They're more solid and durable than anything you can buy from tupperware or rubbermaid. every six months or so I get a jug of Arizona green tea, drink it while grimacing - actual Arizona iced tea is nasty - and save the jug for mixing purposes.

Although I did have a visitor complain about how orange and odd-tasting my green tea was the other week. Is it my fault people assume that what's on the label is what's in the jug?

#18 Whatever floats your boat, Mitch. ;-p

I just dislike stuff that cutesy-poo or frou-frou.

#19 Glad I read this before I went to the store. I was going to buy a case. Any products produced in AZ I can support? Already planing my vacation to the grand canyon.
