What's the deal with Peace Tea?

[PapaBear]

I hadn't heard of it until two different co-workers accidentally bought it, thinking it was Arizona Tea. How can they get away with having a label that's so obviously intended to trick people? And what's with the people on the can? It's called "Peace" tea, but they all look like FURIOUS Asians!

By the way... On a good note, they compared the nutrition labels on Peace and Arizona teas, and the Peace came out on top as being more healthy.

Call me crazy, but I think the giant letters "P-E-A-C-E"
would probably tip me off that it wasn't AZ.

Tea in a can is gross anyway.

When the color and design of a product becomes known for being that product, most people don't read the label. I doubt many people read a Coke label to make sure it says Coke.

I think Brisk came out with a similar can recently as well. I have seen Peace Tea but have no interest in trying it. Arizona is a concept to be copied... i think my store moves just as much if not more Arizona every week than we do Coke/Pepsi

If it said PEACE TEA any fucking bigger the can would be a gallon.

yeah, i'd never think it was arizona......arizona iced tea says arizona ice tea on the can.

you and your friends should read more.

and arizona has a lot more then one flavor of tea, walgreens has like 10 different flavors....all in different cans......also nearby are malt liquors in similar cans...

Hmmm. Illustrations of protesting hispanic people, mimicking a product named "Arizona". I don't get it.

It's owned by Hansen's apparently.

Homophobe.

I would love it if this thread was renamed "by the time I get to peace tea"; it would be a play on words, and I would chuckle.

What's the deal with Peace Tea? It's not peaceful. It tastes like piss. They should call it Piss Tea.


That's gold, Jerry! Gold!

[happytypinggirl]

Its kind of gross unless you like REAAAAAALY sweet tea and the taste of metal.

My tears could fill a Peace Tea can.
Or is it an AZ can? I can never tell.
Either way, I'm crushed.
