I’m sorry to have to be the one to tell you this, but…it’s happening: Companies have continued dealing with the consequences of President Trump’s tariff war, and they’re finally beginning to pass tariffs on to consumers<\/a> as a result.<\/p>\n

The New York Times<\/a> reported this week that Don Vultaggio, the CEO of AriZona, has spent weeks contemplating something he thought “he would never do: raise the 99-cent price of its canned iced teas,” which has stayed the same since 1997.<\/p>\n

They noted that “About 80 percent of the aluminum AriZona uses to make its tallboys comes from recycled material produced in the United States. The rest is imported from Canada, and subject to a 50 percent import duty.”<\/p>\n

The prices haven’t officially been raised just yet, and Vultaggio is supposedly “clinging to cautious optimism.”<\/p>\n

On X (formerly Twitter), people were absolutely devastated by the possible price increase. “my faith in society is gone. even the arizona iced tea couldn’t escape the tariffs.”<\/p>\n
