I have been a fan of "arnold palmers" for years and order them at restaurants. When I saw that Arnold actually had his own...i just had to try it. I found it in the gallon plastic jugs at my northern alabama Winn Dixie store (cant seem to find it at Wal mart or anywhere else) and buy about 2 jugs a week ($2.50 each). This stuff is AWESOME and my absolute favorite "arnold palmer" ever now. I buy 2 at a time. I did see that they were selling it in the metal cans at my local Walgreens ($.99)but havent tried it in a can yet. It is the perfect combo of tea and lemon and isnt too sweet. I will go crazy if Arizona ever stops making this....Im not kidding!!!

i need more!!
I'm not a fan of arizona sweet teas and from time to time I do get the arizona fruit punch but after tring the tea lemonade drink I had to search it. It's addicting and I only had my first one. I've had swamp tea before (swamp tea is a common name for tea/lemonade drink in the south) but this one has a great taste.
This stuff is a drug! I tried it for the first time last week while playing golf in Las Vegas. I drank 3 a day. I flew back to Atlanta and started looking for a retailer to stock up. I can't find any here and I'm going through withdrawals... Help!!!

A Hole In One
I discovered this delicious beverage while on vacation in Florida. I am not a fan of iced tea or lemonade, but when I had this, it was a "hole in one" for me! Being from NH I am having a very hard time finding the 24 oz can, but would love to get the gallon size too. Any one out there know where to find it in Southern NH?
This is my favorite beverage - I can no longer find it anywhere in Seattle - HELP! Anyone know where to look - Safeway took it off the shelf... probably because it's too healthy next to all of the high sugar, high caloric beverages on the shelf.
Thanks for nothing Safeway (and I used to special order 2 cases at a time of the quart sized bottles).

Like hooking the ball into the next fairway, Arnie's juice is foul!
Talk about your mulligans! Arnold obviously needs to retire, because this supposed mixture of lemon-aide and iced tea is as weak as his drive off the ladies tee! Arnold should stick to selling reams of copy paper and file folders, because his endorsement of this 'product' is suspect in every aspect. For starters, it comes in a very 'large' can. I am a veteran of foreign wars and now find it difficult to hold objects that are more than 4" in diameter. I would suggest to the makers of this product that they use a smaller can - it's okay if there are fewer overall ounces - for those of us who have difficulty holding cylinder-shaped objects of 4" circumphrence [sic] or greater.
Now about the taste: every fall, before the first good freeze, I take all of our various lawn ornaments and birdbaths into the garage, and give them a good cleaning with detergent and hose water. If I were to collect the runoff into a mason jar and refrigerate for a number of hours, it would taste not unlike this wretched Fred Funk Junk Juice. It doesn't taste like either lemon-aide or iced tea, but rather runoff water from dirty lawn ornaments and the like, which I have already explained to you so I'm not sure why you're still asking.
If I could plead with the makers of this product - for I am too old to do so, and in addition I cannot understand this current administration we have in the White House - I would suggest they find a lesser golfer emblazoned on the side of their plus-4" can. Perhaps Jim Furyk, or 1991 Buick Open winner Brad Faxon. Until then I will stick with Red Bull.
The Half and Half blends two enjoyable flavors together to create a very enjoyable beverage. With a very large can, it is a little overwhelming at times. However, not many teas today can really compete with this! Final Analysis: This takes home the green jacket.
this is my fav drink i drink two of them everyday if u want something crisp, cool , and golfy this is your drink this is amazing almost as good as other thing ;)
I bought a few of these after discovering they were for sale at my local market. For only 99 cents this is a steal! The taste is somewhat like Lipton Brisk Iced Tea Lemon. Its a great deal, you get alot more than you pay for.
Quite possibly the best bottled/canned ice tea product available
I ran across this product about two months ago, and I am ADDICTED to it. This is a light and smooth product. The lemon cuts down on any bitterness the tea may bring. It's not overly sweet or bitter like other ice teas, and the fact that it's 150 calories for the whole can is definitely a plus (23 oz. can as opposed to a 12 oz can of Lipton with the same caloric content). Touch 'em all Arizona, because you guys hit a GRAND SLAM with this drink.
Enjoyed this beverage towards the end of a hot afternoon of golf. Attractive can, with great, classic Palmer photographs and interesting career statistics on it. The drink is quite refreshing, a bit sweet but not overwhelmingly so. The iced tea flavor seems too somewhat trump the lemonade, with the lemonade primarily adding the extra sweetness. Still, very nice.
