Not having to pay compound interest is a game changer, just like not being publicly traded and therefore being beholden to (((shareholders))).

And don't get me started on merchant cash advances. Fast funding, but it comes at a HIGH price (but it's not a loan; I'm purchasing your future receivables at a discounted rate today).

True most companies run up debt for tax purposes.

too bad one can has like twice the sugar you should have for one day.

Agreed.
Sadly, their typical green tea with ginseng and honey is still not sweet enough for the bulk of diabetic hambeast fatass Soylent Americans…

That and some diabetes.

Fat Electrician on YouTube has an interesting video regarding this guy and his company. Not bad, if you need something on in the background it's worth a listen.

I searched "fat electrition," most recent, on his channel searched, arizona iced tea, arizona, tea, tl;dr provide a fucking link to what the fuck you're referring to.

The Fat Electrician has a second channel called The Fat Files. It's posted in that one.

It's on his alt channel The Fat Files. His main channel is all military documentaries

I guess if he's not going to increase the price with inflation, he's going to make up the loss with free advertising. Doesn't seem like it will work long term though. It's a bold strategy let's see if it pays off.

No, no, businesses often run as charities, sacrificing all profit so they can just give a little back.

Meanwhile in the real world, it's filled with high-fructose corn syrup, so you can get sick later.

There isn't a single place that still sells an Arizona beverage at ninety nine cents.
The story is bullshit.

[ - ] Gigglestick 8 points 20 hoursJun 16, 2025 20:04:25 ago (+8/-0)

Literally just bought two the other day. Not bullshit. Sales tax and shit. But 99 none the less

[ - ] Trope 0 points 18 hoursJun 16, 2025 22:14:32 ago (+0/-0)

Depends on the venue. A family member sells these and I think they sell out quickly at $2.50

[ - ] Sector2 4 points 22 hoursJun 16, 2025 18:52:56 ago (+4/-0)

Walmart Supercenter
$0.88
Arizona Green Tea with Ginseng & Honey, 22 fl oz, Size: 23 fl oz
In stock nearby,San Jose,CA

True, not 99 cents. Can't find a listing closer to me, but 7-11 and such probably price it higher.

[ - ] ArcturianDeathTrap 1 point 12 hoursJun 17, 2025 04:43:20 ago (+1/-0)

And High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS)

So the Honey is just a drop

[ - ] bosunmoon 0 points 21 hoursJun 16, 2025 19:05:40 ago (+0/-0)

You could have just said yeah.

[ - ] Sector2 1 point 21 hoursJun 16, 2025 19:13:46 ago (+1/-0)

Yeah, true.

[ - ] SirNiggsalot 0 points 10 hoursJun 17, 2025 06:08:29 ago (+0/-0)

I believe the owner has a way of reporting store charging more iirc.

[ - ] SilentByAssociation 0 points 8 hoursJun 17, 2025 08:07:47 ago (+0/-0)

If I'm not mistaken, the MSRP may be listed on the can. If the price of it is far from the MSRP, you can find it elsewhere for closer to if not exactly that price.

I heard this storey a decade ago but forgot why. Is it because its just sugar water and how much more can he rob us!?!?
