Opponents of Arizona's new anti-immigrant law are calling for a boycott of the state's products - including the popular Arizona Iced Tea.
The problem: Arizona Iced Tea is actually brewed in New York.
Online, misguided tea fans vowed to switch to Lipton or Snapple.
"Dear Arizona: If you don't change your immigration policy, I will have to stop drinking your enjoyable brand of iced tea," Twittered Jody Beth in Los Angeles.
"It is the drink of fascists," wrote Travis Nichols in Chicago.
The company did not return messages asking if they planned to set the public straight.
Founded in Brooklyn in 1992, the firm was based in Queens before moving into a new $35 million headquarters in Nassau County last year.

What a bunch of maroons......
Booger eating morons - every last one of them.
LOL, probably employee a lot of legal immigrants too. These people are nuts. There are 60% of the American people who agree with the law, these morons keep this up and there will be 75% who agree with it.
just a typical response from assholes who couldn’t find the water in the ocean

YOU CAN’T FIX STUPID!
Copper mining.
Wal-mart is the largest employer.
Good! I’d like to see a boycott of New York.
Dillon Precision is there, too. I'm making a shopping list. :-)
Ok, even if these idiots thought the tea was made in Arizona, did they think that because it had Arizona in the name that the STATE of Arizona made the product?
I am losing hope in our nation if there are this many people who are THIS stupid.
Unfortunately there are why too many of this type out there. They have little concept of how the real world works. They only live in their Utopian dream world.
They have a lot of sand and sun but I don't think they export them. The only thing I know for sure they export is illegals. How do you boycott those?
Typical knee-jerk lib reaction.
Only leftists could make “stupid” an art form.

Why don’t they boycott rainbow shades?
Ah, the beauty of free speech - they really need to proclaim this louder so more people can see how stoopid they are.
According to the article:
“Actual Arizona firms facing a boycott: Cold Stone Creamery, U-Haul and Best Western.”
I’m totally going to have that birthday cake ice cream concoction at Cold Stone this weekend. Omigosh...I can’t wait that long...I need to find an excuse to go to Manassas TODAY! LOL I’d never heard of Cold Stone until we were stationed at Ft Huachuca, AZ...wow! YUM! I was so thrilled to find one close-ish to our home here in Northern VA (hubby has one within walking distance of his work...walking distance for him with his cane isn’t very far, so it must be next door or something...so jealous LOL or not, because I’d weigh the same as Helen Thomas if I were so close to a Cold Stone LOL).
If it is brewed in NY, home of Chick Shmuer and Hillary C, then I’m OK with boycotting it
Viva la revolucion
What?! Then let’s boycott California Closet!
Let’s boycott California Pizza Kitchen!
Go ahead,boycott, Bloomie won’t mind,, he’s dense too. Global warming almost wiped his brain out,,only took a day or two also.
I don’t think I would mess with these guys.
