We love Arizona iced tea guy

stacyking.bsky.social•91 days ago

He's able to do so in part because he won in a protracted legal battle against his founding co-partner, who wanted to sell his shares to a multinational beverage conglomerate (winning meant he was able to buy out his partner instead, retaining control).

jamieskimming.bsky.social•91 days ago

I assume he is the founder of the company? Usually companies behave their best when being led by the person who founded them. Once some external MBA type takes over, it’s all about “maximizing value”

kendrawrites.com•91 days ago

I wrote ceo but technically he's the founder and chairman but not ceo

pamorama.bsky.social•91 days ago

So refreshing to see a CEO who is a decent human and not a greedy bastard. #GreedyBastard

Add him to the list of safe CEO's

Plot twist: Costco’s founder and former CEO and UHC vigilante assassin have something in common

This is not me saying you should drink Arizona iced tea - it's a beverage I have not consumed since High School.

triplingual.bsky.social•91 days ago

It's nasty, but I like the values of the people producing this particular nasty beverage more than the people producing the other nasty beverages.

splendidjenn.bsky.social•91 days ago

I applaud their mission, but Arizona is way too sweet for my blood. Plus, being from the South, something feels . . . wrong about canned or bottled tea. I mean, I know it was brewed SOMEWHERE, but . . . anyway, good on them for not being greedy bastiches.

jodyshenn.bsky.social•91 days ago

I’ve really appreciated them over the years, and a good drink, thinner and less sweat in a way that hits right sometimes

kendrawrites.com•91 days ago

Hahaha omg

redderbeanpaste.bsky.social•91 days ago

It’s a bit sugary

kendrawrites.com•91 days ago

I mean basically all I drink is water, coffee and tisanes so I'm not the target market and I'm OK with that

redderbeanpaste.bsky.social•91 days ago

I will get it on a road trip sometimes. It’s got a road trip drink energy

emilygadabout.bsky.social•91 days ago

I view it as medicinal, it does something extremely right when you stagger into a gas station medium dehydrated

sophierichardson.bsky.social•91 days ago

Imagine if even 5% of corporations thought like him

cprotopapas.bsky.social•91 days ago

He could cut costs even further by cutting the amount of sugar in half.

rahirah.bsky.social•91 days ago

All well and good, but unless it was steeped in an old mayonnaise jar on the back porch, it's not really Arizona tea.

tonymac.bsky.social•91 days ago

“The price is on the can, though.”

I bet he’s been sleeping soundly lately

ninjamonkky.bsky.social•91 days ago

It's called a business plan and there's a burdensome over glut of people who could build one for the "CEO-Genius-Money-Managers"

realjoemack.bsky.social•91 days ago

Wait, not jacking up prices is a 'bad' thing?

kendrawrites.com•91 days ago

Well he's denying himself even more money

ardeeem.bsky.social•91 days ago

yeah he encourages people to report gas stations that charge more than a dollar for the big cans. not sure if it works but I've seen that statement multiple times

anon-fed.bsky.social•91 days ago

I’m still annoyed that CVS stopped carrying the 99 cent cans, they said because of the “high sugar content”. I think it was not profitable enough for them.

thebabygoat.bsky.social•91 days ago

The only decent CEO

stipbuck.bsky.social•91 days ago

I heard that bsky is also a public benefit corporation. It's nice to interpret "shareholders' best interest" as not maximizing profits but hey, you live in a society and having a decent one is in your best interest. Very much Fiduciary. Why am I not surprised that this is not common interpretation?
