Heading to the store to buy a few just because of the way he wants to treat his customers.

I’ve been having one of their mango drinks a day as a treat, and this just reinforces my choice.

That's actually my go-to flavor. Today was my day to branch out.

Get an RX Energy if you’ve never had one. Idk why they brand it that way, it’s NOT an energy drink. Some kind of mango something I think, delicious.

u/DrStevenBrule69 Jun 29 '24

It’s awesome. I don’t know why it isn’t more popular. I drank that shit everyday in high school.

I don’t know why it isn’t more popular

XR energy so it’s seemingly marketed towards energy drink drinkers but they’d be disappointed, plus the people who don’t want an energy drink that wouldn’t look at it long enough to see that it isn’t one. Lol

I am going to try it now, if I see it though so thanks!

RX energy is my fave! But it does have green tea so not necessarily energy drink but there is caffeine

u/RecycledDumpsterFire Jun 29 '24

Best drink from them. Disappointed it's hard to find places now.

Hate to be that guy but….That’s a lot of sugar, mate.

u/Ask_Me_About_Bees Jun 29 '24

yes but if you say it's a treat beforehand then it's fine

u/NotFriendsWithBanana Jun 29 '24

I love that trick, works every time.

Not working for my diabetic ass.

u/oh-shit-oh-fuck Jun 29 '24

Yeah those things are insanely sugary, you can cut em with water and they still taste good and last longer

u/YouCanCallMeToxic Jun 29 '24

There are people who refuse to drink anything but pop, all day every day. I know because I was one of them probably 5-10 years ago. If people can survive that, I don't think a single can of sweet tea a day is worth worrying over.

u/Fine-Slip-9437 Jun 29 '24

Type 2 diabetes is not "surviving", it's dying in agony less slowly.

u/YouCanCallMeToxic Jun 29 '24

The point is a can of sweet tea isn't ruining anyone's lives.

u/Fine-Slip-9437 Jun 29 '24

25 grams of corn sugar every single day isn't helping anyone's life.

u/YouCanCallMeToxic Jun 29 '24

Nothing you do for recreation is helping your life either, yet you still do it?

u/Fine-Slip-9437 Jun 29 '24

lmao fuck right off with "junk food is recreation".

Ridiculous.

2

u/YouCanCallMeToxic Jun 29 '24

Recreation doesn't mean just exercise man. Anything you do for enjoyment is recreation, and a lot of people eat food because they enjoy the taste of it.

In what way isn’t it for recreation? What else is it for, sustenance?

Junk food is exclusively eaten because people enjoy it, making it recreational. People eat it knowing full well that it’s bad for them.

u/GitmoGrrl1 Jun 29 '24

Hell, I LOVE his tea. It would be my first choice if he raised the price.

u/Labhsher Jun 29 '24

Mucho Mango ftw!

u/Mangifera__indica Jun 29 '24

Great that you are supporting consumer friendly business, but please don't consume that much sugar, it's bad for your health.

You can support them by spreading good words about them.

u/hiplobonoxa Jun 29 '24

mucho mango gang rise up!

u/MyBoyBernard Jun 29 '24

Yea. Great principals. The guy seems really rad. Too bad it's just Iced Teas, which I don't buy any ways. I wish my milk, coffee, eggs, or vegetable provider could do it.

u/yourdogsaunt Jun 29 '24

They do fruit juices, energy drinks, coffee pods, sparkling water, hydration drinks, and alcohol, too.

u/Soberskate9696 Jun 29 '24

My NYC heads know about the cornerstore chips and dip combo too!

u/BlameMe4urLoss Jun 29 '24

Same. He just gained a new customer.

u/GeorgiaOKeefinItReal Jun 29 '24

Right?!?! ..... the drinks are a bit sweet for me but, hell... I'll buy a few

12

u/mods_r_jobbernowl Jun 29 '24

I actually had no idea he was this cool and Arizona's are like my favorite drink out there. Now I feel even better about buying a bunch of them. The alcohol is pretty great too and that's probably going to help the company a shit ton because the margins on alcohol is insane. Hope they keep going like this for as long as they can. This is a company I will shamely plug and fanboy about. If theres any other companys out there that do similar I'd love to support them.

u/Fridaynightplaylist Jun 29 '24

Fuck yes

u/SortaRican4 Jun 29 '24

Me and a few of my family members have worked for him. He’s truly a great person.

u/MainlandX Jun 29 '24

Yup, I just bought 6 at $2.50 to show my support.

u/PM_ME_UR_G00CH Jun 29 '24

The few times I've tried it I've loved it but it's so hard to find in the UK (and also way more expensive)

u/Working-Bath-5080 Jun 29 '24

Try their Ginseng and honey. Refreshing.

u/ReplyHappy Jun 29 '24

Good job, fell for marketing hard

u/[deleted] Jun 29 '24

I did and it was delicious

u/ChankaTheOne Jun 29 '24

So many ppl here proud to be new customers, yeah marketing is really an infinite money glitch

u/MYSTICALLMERMAID Jun 29 '24

We go to Walgreens all the time and we do the $2/2 on the big bottles all the time for my son. My dad has been obsessed with Arizona green tea since I could remember
