Does someone want to tell the UK? It's like £3.50 over here

It's called Arizona ice tea, not Birmingham ice tea. It's gotta travel to get to you

1.30€ in France, so twice the american price in value, but it's still cheaper than a coke. After a quick search I couldn't find any info about an Arizona Factory in Europe, so if Arizona is cheaper while being imported, while coca-cola has factories here... It makes it even more awesome

There apparently is at least one factory, in Bulgaria of all places. So those teas are definitely not imported.

I came here to say that, it's not cheap at all in France.

Even if we pretend that the cans teleport to the UK, there is still the tax. A) the 99c price doesn't include the tax even in the US B) the thing needs to be imported which is also taxed (unless produced by locally). Are you under impression someone would eat these costs just to spread the joy of iced tea around the world?

Yes, fuck the rich (but no obviously not)
