Arizona Beverages (you know, the iced tea in cans so big that they used to look ridiculous until you could also get Red Bulls that big and I drank a lot of them and things went dark for a while... ahem) wants nothing to do with the fallout surrounding new immigration laws. From Don Vultaggio, Founder and Chairman:

We have become aware of misinformation being circulated about AriZona Beverages and we would like to make sure statements about our company are correct. As many of you know, AriZona Beverages proudly traces its origins back to New York. In 1992, two hard working guys from Brooklyn with a dream created AriZona Iced Tea. Since then, and despite the wonderful success AriZona has enjoyed throughout the United States and internationally, we have remained loyal to our family run business based in New York. For the last 16 years our headquarters have remained on Long Island where we continue to sell and distribute AriZona Iced Teas and beverages.

We are very proud to be an American company with roots in New York and we look forward to continuing to provide you with the high quality and value driven products we've been making for the last 18 years.

In other words: Arizona? Nah, that mess was just branding. NYC baby, no doubt.
