Talk about stupidity -- from the New York Daily News:
Opponents of immigration law call for boycott of Arizona Iced Tea - but it is brewed in New York!The article concludes with this:
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.
Actual Arizona firms facing a boycott: Cold Stone Creamery, U-Haul and Best Western.Three companies I will make an effort to patronize in the future. Sheesh -- boycotting is sooooo '60's...
