#266 - Arizona Iced Tea / The 99-Cent Myth / Supermarket Scams / Costco Secrets / Ballpark Hot Dogs

  • Summary

  • Today we’re peeling back the layers of an iconic mystery—does Arizona Iced Tea really still cost 99 cents, or is that just the founder’s “good ol’ days” story? We take a wild trip through the history of the 99-cent can, Amazon hacks, and Costco’s forever $1.50 hot dog. Spoiler: It turns out our beloved Arizona Iced Tea might be a bit of a capitalist mirage. Plus, we brainstorm on how stocking your fridge with Arnold Palmers is a surefire way to impress dates (and keep the vibe recession-proof). Is it a marketing con or an unbreakable commitment to “the people”? Tune in, find out, and let the iced tea flow.

    We're going all-in on... grocery shopping? Yes! We're diving into the black hole of supermarket "99 cents" deals that somehow magically become $3.29 at checkout—thanks, inflation! Then, we head over to Costco, where we discuss the joys (and dangers) of bulk shopping and the eternal battle between splurging on a 12-pack of iced tea or impulsively walking out with a drone. Of course, we can’t leave without discussing ballpark hot dogs and our condiment confessions. Trust us, this episode is the best bang for your buck—no hidden charges!
