Does anybody remember the AriZona Rx line of drinks?

[Foxhound3857]

I was recently able to unearth one of my favorite drinks as a teenager, AriZona Rx Energy Herbal Tonic, and it still tastes as amazing as ever, like a refreshing fruity green tea. Of course I didn't know about its caffeine content back then, so I have to drink it in moderation, slow and iced down, but I still enjoy it every bit as much as I did in my younger days.

But I haven't been able to locate its sibling counterparts, which are Rx Memory (I like this one especially), Rx Stress, and Rx Health. I'm wondering if anyone has seen these around in their local stores, if they are just rare, or if they have all been discontinued.

I am unfamiliar with these beverages. What timeframe were they from originally?

Well, I was around 13-15 when I first saw them, so early 2,000's?

These things?

Oldest DD used to drink them occasionally. I never tried them. Don't know how available they are now.

Have you tried contacting the company? Usually a good google will get you to the right person and sometimes a free coupon is thrown in as well.

I have had their ice tea, but never any of these Rx versions. Their website seems to only show the Rx energy version.

We had the stress tea in a local grocery store up until about 2 years ago. My husband liked the stress tea because it was caffeine free

So was Rx Memory, and it had a refreshing fruity taste just like Energy. I like Rx Energy, but it has a hell of a lot of caffeine, even for a tea beverage. I believe it's something like 11mg per ounce, so the 34 ounce bottles I buy are nearly 400mg of caffeine each.

Pretty sure the Rx Energy is the only one they still make. My older kids love them as a milder alternative to Monster-type energy drinks and most of the stores around me carry them, but only the Energy one. I haven't seen the others in so long I'd forgotten they existed until I saw this thread.

Well, they do have vitamins A C and E at least, and it's more natural than an energy drink, but it's still high in sugar and caffeine. I want to make the argument that it's "good for you" but I'd just be deluding myself.

Sounds like it's been discontinued. That's always the risk with some sort of niche product. They will never discontinue their green tea, or raspberry and lemon iced tea.

Years ago the company name was named after the Vultaggio family that owned it. Didn't quite roll off the tongue so they renamed it Arizona Beverage Company.

I used to drink the Stress tea all the time. I wasn't big into the non-tea drinks.

I remember the Arizona drinks although I was a SoBe green tea addict. I kicked the habit when I stopped drinking sweet teas.

Oh man. I never had that but it sounds amazine! but caffeine kills me now. I literally get heart palipitations, I had to stop drinking green tea

Yeah, it is too much of both for me... but if you compare it to the other energy drinks on the market, it has a bit less of both and it is cheaper too, so I didn't complain too much when my teenagers wanted it.
