Arizona in Canada
Arizona sells their 695 ml (23.5 oz) canned products in Canada for $.99 CAD. The same products in 473 ml (16 oz) bottles are sold at a premium, roughly 2-3 times the canned price. Arizona Iced tea cans were briefly recalled in Canada in 2007 due to a can defect, before being re-introduced at the $.99 CAD price. They sell a variety of iced tea and juice drinks. Like the drinks sold in the United States, the Canadian varieties contain high fructose corn syrup, but under the name glucose/fructose, or sugar/glucose-fructose. Arizona is very popular among high school and university students, as well as young adults.
