Arizona’s controversial new immigration law has activists and politicians calling for a boycott of the state’s products, and one geographically unrelated company has been caught in the crossfire.
In their zeal to stick it to the state, people are now refusing to buy AriZona Iced Tea. Despite the name, boycotters are overlooking one key fact: the company is actually based in New York. Call it a case of mistaken identity.

New evidence suggests links iced tea and kidney stones.
New evidence suggests that to much iced tea can give men kidney stones or at least contribute to them. A new study of men over the age of 40 who drank Ice Tea found they are more likley to develop kidney stones.
Oxalate, a main chemical ingredient in the formation of stones within the kidneys, is also highly concentrated within iced tea.

New York Lawmaker, Drinking Tea May Lead To Crime
A Queens lawmaker is asking store owners to pull Arizona Ice Tea off their shelves because he says the packaging glorifies graffiti. City Councilman Peter Vallone, Jr. who has spent years making an issue of graffiti in New York says.
"Apparently Arizona thinks this is something that should be glorified," "They've come out with a drink called All City. All City is the name for a vandal that has destroyed property in much of New York."
A statement on the Arizona's website says they are paying tribute to the passion and creativity street artists. Artists who have made their mark in all five New York boroughs.

Is that Mold In My Tea?
A Michigan man got a nasty suprise in an unopened bottle of Gold Peak Sweetened Iced Tea. Shane Smith describes what he found as "slimy...with dark spots...a gooey gunk." The button seal on the bottle has never been disturbed and its expiration date is February 25, 2008. Smith called the 800 number on the bottle and talked to a Coca Cola spokesperson. The spokesperson said from what it sounds like the substance in the bottle is mold from heat exposure when the bottle was stored after shipping. He said the mold will not pose a health hazard but the product should not be consumed. They will offer Smith a replacement product.
