The Illusive 99 Cent Arizona Ice Tea Can
You’ve seen it in variety and convenience stores and those glass fridges at take out food restaurants. The huge can of Arizona Ice Tea, 695 ml, and labeled right on it at great price of just 99 cents! Question is – have you ever gotten it for anywhere near 99 cents? Take it out of the fridge and ask the sales person if it’s 99 cents and they laugh at you, and just shrug when you point to the price.
I’ve seen it ranging from $1.59 to $1.99 (guessing tax not incl). I have a feeling it’s illegal to display a price and not honour it but whose gonna argue over around 5o cents?
Good news, found one store near where I live that sells it for $1.25 – tax incl. Pretty close to the advertised price. Anyone have better luck?
EDIT Sept. 6, 2008: Just got it for 99 cents at Canadian Tire of all places!
