Learn the sweet success story behind AriZona’s iced tea

[@wanton_chips3638]

“We own everything we need, why take more” is such a great mentality

[@StypidRoofer]

So many businessess sacrifice everything to maximize profit. Like look at youtube's dislike for example.

[@DanKuhn]

It's a mentality borne of building your brand and caring about your reputation. He knows their reputation is low-cost, delicious, beverages. He's smart enough not to sacrifice that brand for a short term profit. Hopefully he has a side gig consulting other businesses.

[@bludika]

"the consumer is my friend" great line

[@ADIAForever]

Absolutely, this is what companies have to always try to keep in their mind and culture.

[@erikvasquezs]

This is why people should only buy products and from companys that actually care about the people

[@noctarin1516]

I wish every company cared as he did but unfortunately its not so easy to find those types of companies. I don't think the choice has to be solely the consumer's.

[@terrexcorbin]

exactly

[@suprafan246]

So true. I feel like a lot of companies really don’t fancy their customers. Like there is no pride in doing anything now.

[@ADIAForever]

Loved Arizona before, but after this. I'm a huge fan. Don is a stand up guy and I love everything about how he carries himself and his business

[@jensz9360]

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Vultaggio at a function, I was immediately impressed because I have been drinnking that tea for so long. Although he is wildly successful, you wouldnt know it because he wont tell you that. He is as down to earth as they come, I think he thinks like that because he is a man who never had anything handed to him. He worked hard to build his company up and do right by his customers and his workers. That is why he is well respected not only by business people, but by customers and his workers. He joked around a lot, it didnt feel like you were talking to a co-founder of a billion dollar company like Arizona Tea. It was just like talking to a normal friend. I liked that quality about the guy. I think it comes from him driving a truck and so he knows what the average consumer feels, he's been there. I would describe him as a humble man of integrity and a well respected gentlemen.

[@ejkk9513]

You, sir... are the heroes we need, not the hero that we deserve. Your company and In-N-Out are lovely and run by genuine people. Never take your company public! Shareholders will take every ounce of your soul away!

[@frankdaily7582]

If only the greedy rich people would think like this man! Still selling his tea for 99 cents and has plenty of money 💰

[@Loloeansoto]

Then USA would not be the most successful and wealthiest country on Earth

[@aisherwasher6959]

Beyond him keeping the price down to help others, it just makes sense to build a sustainable business model focused on providing a solid products. You'd think greedy people would try to follow suit instead of going for cheap grabs and sucking their workforce dry

[@CLB30ROX]

You sir, are the blueprint that all corporations need to follow 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@TheManbeastmike]

I've been drinking Arizona since I was a child! 99c Arizona and a bacon egg and cheese always hit the spot! I will now continue to buy them forever because what an outstanding company

[@tedjuniormichael1083]

Thank you. This is Amerca. This is Great. This is Arizona Ice Tea.

[@stringbeanseventeen]

This is your reminder to get a can of Mucho Mango today! Don is a legend!

[@SuperMegoman]

This man like many others was born with a purpose, and his purpose has influenced others. What a good man!

[@anniedaynoww]

So glad this clip is going viral on other platforms

[@WholeMindsetMastery]

We need more CEOs and companies with his mindset. They are adding value to consumers and taking care of employees over mountains of profit. Don't get me wrong, companies should make a profit, and they need to make a profit to stay in business and remain competitive, but at what cost? I'm not asking for handouts, but if two people work 40 - 60 hours a week in a household, adding value to companies, they shouldn't struggle to support daily life necessities with modest and reasonable wants. I never had Arizona tea, but I approve of his message. We need more companies to follow his lead.

[@paulbethea5051]

At least his honesty is genuine towards customers

[@AlternateInfinite]

Arizona is my go to. Solid flavors, simple delivery, good business practices. I would love to work for/with them. Legitimately admirable ❤

[@YAZZYUTUBE]

The cans now cost $1.19. I bought one at that price yesterday, June 29, 2024. This must be an old broadcast.

[@mikej6624]

In New York City they say 99 cents on them

[@notarussianspy5881]

My local walmart has them for 89 cents, gas stations add their own price it seems.

[@AS-ut8pc]

All over chicago there still 99c

[@retroserva1]

Yeah convenience stores will raise the price.

[@ExoticKiwiB]

¢99 is the suggested retail price. Stores are allowed to raise the price on their end, but many do not.

[@AndreaHernandez-nj8md]

Muchas Gracias Sr. Por ser Generoso con sus Clientes muy Rico su te Arizona❤ y como maneja su empresa Familia todo muy bien nunca me imagine Ver ese Reportaje Felicidades 😊

[@devanman7920]

Kind of hard not to choose this drink when you see the price and how decent the owner is. Also can't stand the reporter with the "will you definitely say you won't raise the price". Any way to use it against him later.

[@oldmanevasion]

Wow, thanks for sharing this story. Really cool company

[@Sl33py-boi-blk]

I love this company and eveything they do!

[@IGGEII]

The more reason to support business.

[@scotmandel6699]

Most of the time its even cheaper than .99 at my local Krogers.

[@ericmontiel3234]

Arnold Palmer drinks have this weird thing where I drink a few gulps and suddenly half the can is gone

[@brirocks]

That's the addictive nature of high fructose corn syrup talking to your palette.

[@brirocks]

I don't know if their merch includes an Arizona-themed coffin but it seems to me they're the KISS of beverage companies.

[@huntingfish8977]

The corner stores are selling them for $1.50 now and won't honor the owners wishes....

[@terrexcorbin]

well i would of pulled them out and put it in stores that honor the owner wishes

[@dolfyrantsparodies608]

If it has a sticker for 99c, call the company on them, they should stop sending more from what i know

[@cooper7031]

I've seen the price at 80 cents!

[@Rob_Pap]

I don't know anybody that hate Arizona Ice Tea

[@pinkmist911]

I Love this Man❤

[@niko2002]

Better than Coca-Cola, cheaper and it's better for you. That drink never let me down. Still 99¢ after a long time, best drink of a hot day outside at work. Ice cold Arizona tea is the way to go, I'm a huge fan now.

[@cococock2418]

Better for you? No lol. Same ingredients as cola.

[@Djreactions831]

This man has a good heart🥹

[@EthanErickson-l5m]

Im paying $1.89 for arizona, it’s been a minute since I’ve seen a 99 cent can

[@FatboyyTransport]

I love this guy

[@AS-ut8pc]

All over Chicago there 99c

[@patricialynn5852]

Please make sugar free tea !

[@cococock2418]

No! No sugar = no flavor

[@yesimemoin0935]

NY icon

[@kellanluvsu]

I buy Arnold Palmer buy the gallon

[@vl1180]

When I was pregnant in a homeless shelter, you could only bring in water or tea to drink. Thankful for these cheap 99cent drinks 🍹

[@seenoevl6129]

It's crazy how cheap they are and taste very good too big fan of there brand since high-school

[@giantstingray]

Pina Colada was the best flavor

[@Empericalmonkey]

Circle K sells them for $2.59.....and they got the Macs Milk symbol on them.

[@KurniadiPrathomo-sp5zd]

Please make "zero sugar" tea

[@shortdogg1313]

I really miss the Pomegranate Tea.😔

[@Rahmenno]

It’s a shame Arizona isn’t an international drink love the stuff and the brand as a whole.I hope it stays private and far away from the hands of greedy investors,this is how you make a successful American business without screwing the consumer and for the interviewer asking the snarky comments about upping the price she should look at herself and just wonder who she serves the people or her corporate masters.

[@BenjaminRichardsMasterhand]

This a “costco hotdog” origin story 💀

[@DSBOY33]

Michigan a $1.25 a bottle $0.99 a can

[@rivers4451]

WHERE CAN I GET A JOB APPLICATION?!

[@ajax8079]

This is a nothing burger, drinks cost next to nothing to manufacture, but good for this guy for not being greedy.

[@Martin-xv]

Clearly you have no idea about manufacturing cost relative to his business.

[@ajax8079]

@@Martin-xv go ahead and explain it to me smart guy

[@PatatasBravas20]

[@SayAhh]

It's only affordable because corn is subsidized by the taxpayer. The sugar version of Arizona Tea costs more.

[@NIO4LIFE]

But the price is the can tho

[@josefredydiaz127]

❤❤❤ best me

[@XzotecMania]

Because they’re not a publicly traded company. They don’t get paid in stock and need the stock to go up to make money.

[@asu5632]

I always fear how is it that cheap. It’s mostly chemicals

[@TopSetUK]

It's mostly water, the same as every other drink on the market. Most drinks companies could sell their drinks at a fraction of what they currently do, and still be profitable.

[@EthanErickson-l5m]

Im paying $1.89 for arizona, it’s been a minute since I’ve seen a 99 cent can

[@Comicsandstuff]

Is it possible the store you frequent is price gouging? The gas station I buy them from still sells them for a buck.

[@randomstuff063]

@@Comicsandstuff The thing is Arizona produces two different different types of cans one with a pre-price $.99 and one without. The gas stations and other stores are free to mark the non-priced whatever they want.
