Tariffs Threaten to End AriZona's 99-Cent 'Big Can' Price for First Time
AriZona's founder says the company may raise prices for the first time in 30 years due to a 50% tariff on aluminum imports, impacting 2 billion cans sold annually.
- The New York Times on Sunday reported that Don Vultaggio may raise the 99-cent price of AriZona Iced Tea’s signature tallboy cans due to Trump’s 50% aluminum tariffs.

- AriZona uses about 100 million pounds of aluminum, with 20% from Canada, and sells about 2 billion cans annually, half of which are tallboys.
- He said, `At some point the consumer is going to have to pay the price. hate even the thought of it` and warned that moving away from the $0.99 price would damage AriZona’s brand identity.
- Projections show Trump’s tariffs threaten to double the price to $1.99, if adjusted for rising costs or inflation.
