Peace Iced Tea is the Hansen Beverage Company's answer to the famous Arizona Iced Tea. It sells for 99 cents, and currently comes in four flavors. Each flavor has it's own unique "can art". The designs, which were created by artist John Malloy, seem to be created to appeal to modern day hippies and stoners.
Snack and Beverage companies have a long history of creating products for potheads. Everybody knows that Funyuns are for stoners. And there is actually a snack called Munchies. That's because snack makers know that we stoners are their best customers. Especially when our munchies take control of our appetites.
Hansen is pretty dedicated to associating their brand of iced tea to a movement of peace. That's pretty cool given that in this day and age peace seems like a childish notion, and basically unachievable. Now when I go to 7-Eleven at 2am looking for some snacks to munch on, I wash it down with some Peace Iced Tea. That's right I'm endorsing this tasty stuff.

Here are some of the original artoworks that are now on the Peace Iced Tea Cans. You can see more here at artist John Malloy's blog.


Look on some of the cans closely and you will see the logo of the monster energy company...
ReplyDeletecorporate lies, don't buy it!
Even if monster makes it it, by buying it you're still making a statement that stoners have buying power, so it's not all bad. Plus Monster and jager is the shit
ReplyDeleteYeah, don't buy it dude. Its owned by Coca Cola, (even though they are really good at hiding this fact) and in my opinion its bullshit to give into buying something because it is advertised to be a certain way, even if that image is considered a "good" thing, the advertisers are taking advantage of you. This tea is NOT "peaceful".
ReplyDeleteOr just get the f*ck over it, and appreciate that its cheap and it quenches your thirst, ya whiney little babies.
