AriZona Iced Tea: 'We're from New York'

WOODBURY, N.Y., - The manufacturers of AriZona Iced Tea released a statement saying their headquarters is in New York, not Arizona, to head off boycott talk.

Don Vultaggio, founder of the beverage company, released a statement Wednesday asking people not to project their anger about Arizona's new law -- which gives police the right to demand citizenship papers from anyone suspected of being an illegal immigrant -- onto his company, the New York Daily News reported Thursday.

"AriZona Beverages proudly traces its origins back to New York," Vultaggio said. "In 1992, two hardworking guys from Brooklyn with a dream created AriZona Iced Tea."

"Since then ... we have remained loyal to our family-run business based in New York. For the last 16 years, our headquarters have remained on Long Island," he said.

Comedian George Lopez joked on Twitter this week that he "went to buy an AriZona Iced Tea -- they asked me for my documentation. So I bought HORCHATA instead!"

Company officials replied on Twitter Thursday: "We're BIG fans! Just wanted to let you know that AriZona is and always has been a NY company and would (heart) to send you some tea!"

I used to work for AriZona Beverages in Florida.

Believe me, it's New York Company with a New York attitude: meaning if you are not from New York, you basically are a knuckle dragger buck tooth hillbilly who needs daily instructions on "How we do it in New York"

One of the most dysfunctional companies I ever worked for. Great product, but hell to work for

Read up on George Lopez. From what I’ve read he’s a duplicitious snake in the grass who cuts other comedians behind their backs, steals their material and is a big liar. Read what the other comedians say about him.

Well, it's hard to knock a brand that basically created a whole new segment in RTD beverages.

For a mass produced product it's not going to taste like Sun Tea made on your back porch.
