Sigh [1]:
In the wake of the passage of a controversial immigration law in Arizona, there have been calls for a boycott of the state and its businesses. Among those calling for a boycott are Rep. Joe Baca [2] (D-Calif.), lawmakers in Los Angeles and San Francisco [3], and La Opinion, the nation’s biggest Spanish-language newspaper.
Some of the boycott calls are directed not just at the state but businesses based there, among them Cold Stone Creamery, Circle K and U-Haul. And as the New York Daily News reports [4], also under fire in some quarters is Arizona Iced Tea. Its label says is brewed by the Arizona Beverage Co.
“Dear Arizona: If you don’t change your immigration policy, I will have to stop drinking your enjoyable brand of iced tea,” one person wrote on Twitter, according to the Daily News; another called Arizona Iced Tea “the drink of fascists.”
There is (at least) one problem with all that, however: Arizona Iced Tea is based in New York. It was founded in 1992 in Brooklyn by former New York City beer distributors; the company says [5] the founders borrowed “the motif from their south-western inspired house in Queens.”
Apparently these clueless wonders know about as much about Arizona Iced Tea as they do the immigration bill itself [6]. 
You know what would be kind of funny? For people all across the country to start shipping Arizona Iced Tea items [7] to Baca’s offices in either CA or DC [8]. Like maybe their Sweet Tea Liquid Concentrate 4-Pack [9] ($3.99). Better still, if you’ve got some money to blow, sending one of their “I Love AZ [10]” hats ($19.99) would rock, because not only does it read “I Love AZ” on the front, but there’s also an American flag stitched on the side
