Arizona Goes ‘All City,’ Bombs Hard
Spotted on the streets of Bushwick: All City NRG, a graffiti-themed iced tea energy drink being hawked from a predictably tagged up promotional van. The new drink from AriZona comes in a ‘limited edition’ aluminum can adorned in typical mainstream graffiti fashion with the work of FACT ONE. Putting aside the lack of relevancy between graffiti and iced tea, associating your caffeine boosted drink with the aging, unpredictable, oft-flooded, rat infested, piss smelling subway system of New York City seems a little silly (MTA, we still love you!). How long before Councilmember Peter Vallone Jr. denounces the drink for encouraging NYC youth to go out and bomb the city? Not long.

I’d love to see a “collaboration” with the All City Crew bombing the hell out of this truck.

it tastes delicous… and its roots grow out of brooklyn… witch is strangely enough where Arizona started… the company… not the state. (That would be strange indeed)

What gives? It’s been almost a week and I haven’t heard Vallone say anything about this.

Peter Vallone is an absolute moron. It is a beverage. Stop wasting your time bashing a energy drink and focus on some real issues. You are a schmuck Vallone. Fix some pot holes or something!!!
