AriZona Iced Tea

Is anybody else addicted to this stuff? I started drinking a can after each daily bike ride last spring, and I'm still hooked. My current favorite is the tea with lemon, in the blue & white can at right. (Hi, baby! Wave to daddy! )

Cute kid.

Mmmm! Sweet with lemon for me. Yep - I like it, too! Though perhaps not quite as . . . intensely as you.

No, I don't drink AriZona tea of any flavor.....I drink water.....if I do drink tea, it has to be unsweetened...quenches my thirst better than sweet tea. We were raised on sweet tea out in California, but one day, I got a glass before mom could pollute sweeten it and have been hooked on unsweetened since.....I used to drink a LOT more tea than I do now, but find that water does the job....SO...here's to drinking 8 glasses of H2O a day......

Yep, satisfies inches and inches of thirst!!!

Those under 21 don't read the following.................


Last chance, leave please......


I love Arizona Watermelon and vodka with crushed ice. It blends wonderfully. Drink and post responsibly.

Rhonda, I can't stand sweetened tea. I love it just plain.

I'm with Rhonda & Lori...I used to drink sweetened and thought it would always be that way, but now I actually prefer unsweetened, since I've eliminated the sugary sweet stuff out of the diet. I occasionally like a sugar free peach tea though. My boys love Arizona though---they're both into the Arnold Palmer half and half stuff.

I'm just happy to have finally kicked the Diet Coke/pop habit. I've been done with that for over a year and now I have much fewer migraines. But unlike Rhonda, I can't just live on water. Well I could, but you know what I mean. I really like a different beverage from time to time.

I used to drink it, but I haven't in years.

can you only buy sweet tea in usa? over here we have green tea. is this the same thing?

We also get the green tea.

I love sweet tea!

like canada dry's green tea

95% of the time I drink water. I guess you could say I'm a "waterholic". Now, I also love green tea, unsweetened tea, and the Arizona tea in the can. As for sodas, Coke and Root Beer are my favorites.

Now what is root beer? I've always wondered what it was.

A glass of root beer with foam



Root beer is a carbonated, sweetened beverage, originally made using the root of a sassafras plant (or the bark of a sassafras tree) as the primary flavor. Root beer, popularized in North America, comes in two forms: alcoholic and soft drink. The historical root beer was analogous to small beer in that the process provided a drink with a very low alcohol content. Although roots are used as the source of many soft drinks in many countries throughout the world (and even alcoholic beverages/beers), the name root beer is rarely used outside North America and the Philippines.^{[citation needed]} Most other countries have their own indigenous versions of root-based beverages and small beers but with different names.

There are hundreds of root beer brands in the United States, produced in every U.S. state,^[1] and there is no standardized recipe. The primary ingredient, artificial sassafras flavoring, is complemented with other flavors. Common flavorings are vanilla, wintergreen, cherry tree bark, licorice root, sarsaparilla root, nutmeg, acacia, anise, molasses, cinnamon, clove and honey.

Although most mainstream brands are caffeine-free, there are some brands and varieties that contain caffeine.^{[citation needed]}

Homemade root beer is usually made from concentrate,^[2] though it can also be made from actual herbs and roots. Both alcoholic and non-alcoholic root beers have a thick and foamy head when poured, often enhanced by the addition of Cassava extract.

No wonder why; the name root beer is rarely used outside North America and the Philippines.

And they say that it comes in alcoholic and non-alcoholic forms, but 99% of the time when people talk about root beer, they mean the non-alcoholic kind.

My guys love this! They choose it over a soda. We are big tea drinkers anyway though. Clay has a meltdown if tea is not made at home.

i guess teas better then soda

And BARQS brand is the best!

Yeah, I've never heard of the alcoholic kind of Root Beer. It has to be a stout-y beer, like Guinness, right?

I gotta respectfully disagree here Miss Julia.
When I was a kid I worked at an A+W fastfood resturant. We made our own, on site in two big stainless steel tanks. We would fill one up with water, pour in the concentrate and huge bags of sugar. I remember 100 pounds per tank. Then we would mix it up for ages with this big paddle. Boy I loved that stuff.

Ahh, A&W. I played a lot of tennis in my youth, and we'd always stop at the A&Dub for a tall frosty root beer afterward.
