- #AriZonaIcedTea is notoriously still only 99 cents, despite rising prices across the food and drink industry. Owner Don Vultaggio explains why he is so adamant about the price staying under a dollar, and if that will change in the foreseeable future. #TODAYShow #3rdHourTODAY
There needs to be more people like him
I am him
We are here
If he raises prices he is done. Thats the only reason why
It's 1.25 now 😂 he raised the price.
@@KoolaySmoov where?
Now, shame the other corporate CEO's.
The other companies don't own their companies and are not debt free. They most likely owe their profits to shareholders... you know like you and me.
@@1guysopinion798ur a shareholder? Most of us dont sharehold in any company
You have to have a soul to feel shame .
Shame on those CEOs for raising profits and increasing share prices making all those greedy people with 401ks money so they don't have to work until the die.
@@1guysopinion798 Companies are going out, he was over charging by you logic for years
If every CEO did this - had morals - what a different world this would be!!
What a good man. ❤
Just like the old Chipotle CEO-- he wanted to give people the most they could & the best value they could and now they ousted him and they're ruining their brand
@@user-hp1pp7bz7b Not everyone will agree. 🤷♀️
Sir, your kindness has won you a new customer.
Make that a second 😂
Same here
Count me in!
Me too!
Why he actually did raise prices
Gonna be drinking more of this stuff
Why? It's garbage

@@JoeLiberalismlike your comment?
Just bought my kids and their friends some yesterday.
Loaded with sugar.
Wow, to actually hear a CEO speak like this. Good for him.
I've drank thousands of 99cents Arizona tea ...
So that would make you a diabetic
@@Supergoat76you’re so cool
@@Supergoat76not in one day you fruit loop
@@Supergoat76 you show MASSIVE ignorance is how the human body works. Diabetics are largely genetic then diet.
Where? Don't see them at dollar tree. Circle K is like $3 😂😂😂 he's capping
He is the type of business owner that I see eye to eye with. Last of a dying breed.
I'm going to start drinking Arizona from now on!
Same
Same
You’ll find out they actually cost 1.79 lol
Because they raised the price
@@Anewglory that's not the company, that's stores scraping for extra money
I don’t drink this tea but let me pick up a case for the office
I was thinking how I could buy this but not drink it for myself and waste it. Thanks!
This should be on the front page news to show companies how to do business
Greedy businesses hate people like him😅😅
Man this is why I’ll always have an Arizona drink. I grew up on these as a kid with a bag of chips coming home from school. These guys deserve all the success.
😎👍💯
That’s a true business man
No a true business man would increase the price to line his pockets. This man is a human being, compassionate towards others situation.
@@lucythecat12agree!
This makes me want to support Arizona Tea!
I have not bought an AriZona Iced Tea in years. I saw this interview and bought their product the next time I was in the grocery store. I will buy more of their product. Thank you for caring about your customers.
“We’re going to fight as hard as we can for consumers”
A CEO who stands for something
“Why not increase the price?” Because he’s not selfish and cares about his customers
It’s so nice to be able to get a cold sweet drink for $1.08. Bless this man.
A rare corporate man. BRAVO!!! My daughter likes a certain flavored WATER. They now want 2+ bucks a bottle. WATER!!! Just greed.
Hawaii went up! Tell them to put it back to 99¢.
And you can’t afford it?
Wow!!!!!
Shipping, it's probably expensive in Alaska and Guam too.
Bro you're literally in the middle of the ocean, chill
Its harder for Hawaii since u gotta ship em and fly em same with guam & american samoa
They are $1.29 where I live and I just bought 6 cans. Much respect to you and yours Sir. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I'm pretty sure there's a form or something you can fill out to tell Arizona that some retailer is selling them for more than $.99. :)
Yes!!! Supporting arizona forever!!!
This is guy is a great example of what leaders should be.
This is why this company is now my favorite and I'll keep buying them.
Also, I have an important story. One day I was driving home, when all of a sudden the Lord came to me in spirit. I felt very close to Him. I knew if I asked him to play any song on the radio he would, I guess to bless my faith.
So I said "ok, Lord play "Come as you are by Nirvana".
I turned on the radio and the song started playing right there on the spot, perfectly…
I started getting flooded with chills like a waterfall, crying, and trembling.
He stayed with me for 10 minutes in my driveway. until I got outta the car.
A couple months after that I started getting amazing prayers answered way more often, because it helped me quit doubting when I pray and I was lined up with biblical instructions. It's 6 years later and I still get answered prayers in Jesus name.
Report any store that shows the price above the 99 cent mark. The owner will not have it
Going to the liquor and buy one now. Respects to this guy.
The sad part to this story, is that even though the can has 99¢ printed on it, they still charge a $1.99 at the ampm where I live. Something should be done about that. Those crooks are doubling the price and getting away with it, and it casts a shadow over the good efforts this man is trying to make.
My philosophy!! I have not increased the price in my restaurant in last 3 years!
Your restaurant doing good? That’s a solid but tough stance with prices going up on everything. Good on you though
Thank you. I would eat at your restaurant and give you my business.
I suggest on focusing on solving and finishing paying ur debts because fighting for ur consumer is important but it doesn’t mean anything if ur business fails, buy & own the building fully finish paying it
@@TheRunoben totally agree, but fortunately for me, I have 0 debt and do not rely on the income generated by the restaurant to sustain me. Although, I do eke out profit as any business should,I adhere to the business philosophy of In-N-Out 🍔, Costco, Walmart, among many others, who have put consumer welfare at the forefront.
Say the name of your restaurant buddy
This is why I love Arizona
WHY CAN'T EVERY CEO DO THIS?!
Greed and pleasing shareholders
@TheKorfish it's not greed to keep shareholders investing in your business. It's not greed to make a profit so the people keep their jobs. Even privately held business like his make their owners very rich.
@@1guysopinion798there is a HUGE difference and either you're willfully ignorant or just unaware. A right to make a profit should come with responsibility period. This company is not operating at a loss simply because they don't operate with greed as the main objective. When a company makes billions in profit, pays their employees minimum wage, abuses longevity by not raising ALL wages as opposed to just minimum and I could go on all day.
@mindlevert5322 I'm quite aware,. First, there are no obligations, a company is free to run their company as they want. An employee can stay or leave at will. Your value and competition for your skills determine your wage. Your fantasy has nothing to do with reality.
@@1guysopinion798do you always defend obscene greed or is it in someway beneficial for you for it to continue as is? I'm confused what you don't get. Skill does not set wage. Corporate greed does.
I love Arizona iced tea
Sadly, there's a number of gas stations that charge $1.79 for it, even though it says 99 cents on the can
Out here it literally on the can like the original price. I have purchased it for .99, 1.25 and 1.29 and some cans have no price on them….somebody is scamming or something!!!
Real champion 🏆
I paid $1.49 last week at 7/11...
Silly just say no tax 😁
But the price is on the can.
Shop owner ripped you off
That’s not the CEO’s fault
Some shops charge more. Not his fault.
Real hero
He just won, probably 100,000 new customs...like..just now.❤❤❤
Just another reason why I’ve supported this company since my childhood years. 30+ now I still get me an Arizona with my chips.
Black & White for that smooth mellow tea flavor that’s not too sweet 👌🏽
That’s what I’m talking about!!!! Thank you from a Mango flavor Arizona drink lover!!!
I’ll will ONLY drink Arizona Tea after seeing this 🎯🎯🎯🎯
That's a true AMERICAN...man of the people..Thank you!!!
This drink helped quench my thirst walking home after school since second grade to now. I'm 30 and still buying them for lunch and after a hard day's work.
Thankyou sir. I enjoy your products.
You are a 🌟 man
Im going to buy Arizona Tea right now!!!!!!
Always have been buying Arizona ice tea for the longest and until today I’m gonna keep on !
❤❤ love your product! And it is they only canned drink I buy! Now I am PROUD to purchase your product!
That's an example, and it shows why he's successful. He's not greedy
Finally! People over profits is profitable. May God bless him and keep him🙏🏽
There are lost of corner stores already selling Arizona's way above the 99 cent sticker price...especially in poor😢 neighborhoods
Coming From Arizona, I Only Wish It Was Made From Arizona.
Still Love You n Even More For This Vid!
If people in the comments haven’t already, try Arizona fruit snacks, they are amazing
"We've been making such a huge profit for so long this inflation is barely making a dent." 👏 👏 👏
Yes, please keep my 60 grams of added sugar per can at $1. You are so kind. And thoughtful, and considerate of people’s health! 😂
😂😂😂😂 I am drinking some right now. Only company I think that has better tea is Pure Leaf, But it is less in Ozs. and still 2-2.5X price. I'll stifk with my Arizona tea.
I’m only buying these juices now after hear that, wow!! We need more CEO’s like him.
Well!! I went to 711 in Ann Arbor MI, and they are pricing them at $1.29 and it’s on the can!! Other places it 99. What the heck?!!! And they sell the larger plastic bottles at the Dollar Tree for $1.25…. Whats up with that?!!!!
His employees make 14.39 an hour. He's worth the over two billion dollars. He knows his profits would decrease if he raised the price.
Investigate before you admire.
Couldn't pay for a better commercial.......I used to drink them in college all the time, will be buying some more!
What a Wonderful and Smart Businessman Keep Customers Happy with affordable pricing while making a Quality product Paid off All of equipment Paid down any debt the Business carried Win Win My hats off to You Sir If only All Businessman were like him O almost forgot to say He isn't Greedy ❤❤❤
Definitely buying more just because of this. Didn’t really drink it before but that will change.
They are 1.79 at Cumberland farms. And the cans don't have .99 cents on them so there must be something going on at the brewery. Hate to buy it at cumbys but?
It’s $1.25 so I’m being scammed by who the store or the company 😢
THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. And don’t you worry, if i buy one-two cans everytime I drink it, I will triple it next time.
Expensive products are anti consumer and predatory, it's insane that other companies think making things more expensive make them more money, people are more likely to buy something cheaper than something expensive.
Prices are high, not because companies have to, It's greed. They could absorb the costs, but why would they? Customers still buy
It's tea!!! I can make it for less than $0.10. He is all ready making huge profits. If he prices it over Coke or Pepsi, his sales will tank. You ask the absolute dumbest questions
Unfortunately I’ve seen a lot of mom & pop shops put stickers over the 99¢ on the can and charge upwards $4-$5
This man is a unsung hero to a lot of kids growing up in poor cities like I’m from.
To be able to get a big can of Arizona to quench your thirst is huge when you literally only have $1 in your pocket
They are all good but I love the Herbal Energy in the gold can. Sounds crazy but it seems to settle my stomach too. Delicious and makes a good drink mixer. Thank you Sir!
They did in fact raise the price on their “tallboy” product by 25%. Inflation is not about greed. It’s about maintaining margins in environment in which all your input costs are rising.
People charge almost double or triple for a can of Arizona it’s sick they ruining your brand my boy !!
This dude doesn't do their marketing, at most name brand places arizonas are 1.29, it's why the cans no longer have the 99c sticker, if a store charged 99c they make like 4$ in profit per case, why? Because the cost to order arizona has went up, most company's make 30+ dollars if they sell a case of coke, no company is gonna sell arizonas for 99c, they might as well just not carry it then
I stay faithful to this drink more than I do my girl . Atleast Arizona Tea never changes up 😂
It cost $1.69 now. Wife bought one the other night just to show me they finally raised the price.
Spoiler alert, the stores that purchase the 99¢ Arizona charge $1.35 for it
Depends on where you go! All the gas stations around here sell em for about 2 bucks! Circle K went as far as to rebrand the cans with their logo right over the "99¢" label around the top. I really wish I was joking. 😢 That being said, if I find them for a buck anywhere I snatch them up. Those things are awesome when you can find them at their original price.
Because he’s a decent human being void of GREED
Even tho I’m not in America, and price of Arizona iced tea here in Australia is $4.7, still makes me want to go out now and support them 👊
Really cause the store down the street from me charging $2.00 in alma Michigan I pay it cause I have no car and I'm old and walk but I love his drinks hope the owner sees this but I don't think he will..
Greedy businesses hate people like him! 😅😅 I wish him much success!!
I support little local soft drink factory 🏭 that’s been around 122 yrs ❤they have to compete in a modern market I’m down with that their still flipping going 😂they were making drinks when they came in clay ginger beers and cod bottles so I’ll always support my locals ❤
Then how come they are 1.89 here in Oklahoma If you ain't changing your price
The gallon tea has skyrocketed. Fighting for the customer????????
His sheer disgust at her even asking him that question followed by him saying “why make it harder for people who are struggling to pay their rent.” is one of the many reasons I buy Arizona.
Like he’s just insulted she would ask him to do something that scummy.
Love Arizona, great flavours and with Stevia
I just realized that he did raise the price.And they took the 99 cents off.The can at least here and florida they did.
Shops charge more tho. Idk how you can fix I but 1.25 at the bodega near my job
They did increase the price though. They're 1.29 where I live.
And this is why I drink this man's products.
I like it when the “ STORES “ that sell Arizona products stick a price tag over the 99 cent price that’s double what’s on the can🤣🤣🤣
Meanwhile it's $16 for a McDonald's meal that's barely warm half the time
That's awesome more like him please. Watch his biz will also remain successful & it will return to him in the very least 2 fold. Wish more really understand these principles 👏👏 & stay blessed
Coke pepsi from $1 to almost 3 for a 15oz drink the bottle is weighed which makes it 16oz!!
The real question is who is this smoke show doing the interview!? Dang.. sombdy from VS need to hit her up.
Food manufacturers do not decide retails, however they influence them. This guys isn’t keeping retails at 99 cents, the retailer is. My guess is, the retailer is losing money on every Arizona tea sold. Meaning, this company can be selling their product to the retailer for $2 while the retailer holds the price of 99 cents. And this guy is a hero? C’mon… food manufacturers are making money hand over fist right now. Time to pass those cost savings on to the consumers.
Switching from another brand to Arizona.
The reason he can do this is he’s not publicly traded. Corporate greed is a problem of our own making. It’s not corporate greed, it’s shareholder greed
Well now I’m only consuming Arizona drinks
They market cans with and without the “99¢” label. The ones without are marked up by the seller.
Proof right here that inflation is a scam, inflation isn't going up, it's just corporate greed going up which is why the guy above and his tea is a national treasure. Good tea, good price, good deed, no greed
