99 cents a can? Where's the profit? What kind of razor thin margins are they playing with? There has to be some money laundering schemes going on.

They don't even adjust the price for inflation. It's been $0.99 for like 20 years.

Rumor has it that Sheriff Joe makes the immigrant prisoners squeeze the fruits to make the juices which is why the drinks are typically so sweet.

I drink this poo poo from time to time, because I don't give a gently caress about my health, but I can never finish one of those cans. I usually get like a third of the way down and I am finished.

I drink a gallon of this poo poo every night I go in to work and I care deeply about my health. :ohdear:

Corn syrup, but yea.

When I lived in SF I had a black friend who would smoke blunts, freak a Black and Mild, and drink Arizona ice tea (but only from the tallboy cans because they taste better).

He was a wise dude, that poo poo made for a great afternoon.

I'm nae the voice o' the darkened thistle, but th' darkened thistle cannae bear the sight o' our Bonnie Prince Bernie nae mair.
I've had more than one person tell me that drinking the diet green tea causes this weird physical reaction where you have to chug as much of it as possible, possibly until you've drank all of it you can get your hands on.

Like you go to have a sip or a little glass and you end up drinking a drat gallon of the stuff.

I wonder what weird poo poo is in it to cause that to happen.

23 oz for 99 cents isn't even that good of a deal for Arizona. That's 4.30 cents an ounce.

You can buy their 128 oz jugs for $2.50, which is 1.95 cents an ounce

I mean its actual garbage on one hand, but even if it wasn't we have been long conditioned to believe that drinks cost money, when in fact they don't really. This is plainly evident in things like soda which are obviously more difficult to manufacture than "tea" but still cost like 5 cents per 20 ounce if you buy the syrup yourself. And they are still making profit off that so...

All the cost is in packaging and logistics and running the company but, take a look at profits from any of these companies and you'll arrive at your answer OP!!!!!!!!
