AriZona Iced Tea May Raise Prices Due to Trump Tariffs
AriZona Iced Tea, known for its 99-cent price, might raise the price because of new taxes called tariffs.
These tariffs, put in place by President Trump, make it more expensive to get the aluminum needed for the tea cans.
The owner of AriZona, Don Vultaggio, is not happy about this because it's making the tea more expensive to produce.
He uses a lot of aluminum each year, some of which comes from Canada, and the tariffs are affecting that.
The company has kept the price low for over 30 years, even though the cost of making the tea has gone up.
Now, they're considering raising the price, but haven't yet.
AriZona Iced Tea may increase its price due to tariffs on imported aluminum.
The company's founder, Don Vultaggio, stated that tariffs from President Trump are increasing production costs.
AriZona uses 100 million pounds of aluminum annually, with about 20% from Canada.
Vultaggio is against the tariffs, especially those affecting trade with Canada.
The 99-cent price, a part of the brand, may change after 30 years.
