Yesterday I was at Krogers getting some groceries and stocking up on my diet soda. As I was walking down the soft drinks aisle, something caught my eye. I saw a group of large cans with a peace sign on the front. I just wrote a blog article last week about the peace sign, so I went over to investigate these cans. The cans said Peace Tea and they were made by the Peace Tea Beverage Co. in Carona, California. There were several flavors but I decided on the green tea. I noticed that the price was $0.99 per can. OUCH...that is kind of pricey for a can of green tea. I took a closer look and noticed that this super-sized can contained 23 fluid ounces of tea. That is equal to three 8-ounce glasses. On the back of the can were pictures of four signs with the following messages;
100% natural tea
No artifical flavors
No preservatives
No artificial colors
The drink was sweetened with natural sugar and contained 50 calories. I decided to give it a try. I bought one can, brought it home and put it in the refrigerator. I got it out today and took a sip. It tastes good. It is sweet but not too sweet. This is a healthy alternative to my drink of choice....Diet Dr Pepper. I am not sure if this company is marketing to baby boomers (old hippies) or to a new generation of peace activists. I have to say that I am pleased with the packaging, price and taste of this product. I am sold on Peace Iced Tea!
