IMPORTANT HEADS UP FOR HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS!

There is a company called “Vector” that sends out “work opportunity” letters in the mail for graduating seniors. It’s a scam. They promise a nice $17 an hour for zero experience which should be a red flag. It’s a multi level marketing scheme that preys on kids trying to make money for college and it’s gross. If you get one of these letters in the mail, just toss it in the recycle. Some of you may have heard of this or have already received one of these in the mail, but I just wanted to post about it just in case!

they did this shit to me too but they had no information about the company anywhere on the flyers and the website for applying was just a google form which should have been a red flag but basically they wait until you fill out the google form and then reveal that they are Vector Marketing. their scheme is they make you buy like $100+ worth of knives and tell you to sell them all to your family members in exchange for a cut of the profit. i ignored them once i found out but they started like sending flyers to my mom somehow

here’s a list of similar multilevel marketing scams! notable ones are itworks, amway, lularoe, herbalife, scentsy, younique, monat, beachbody, mary kay, and more. you might even see some of your peers advertising for them on facebook or instagram, but always remember to google the companies’ income disclosure statements. you’ll quickly find a solid 95% or so make no money from these schemes at all, and about 90% actually lose money. be careful y’all!

The company's enormous vats of iced tea are cheaper than pure water. What kind of sorcery is this?

Despite being a bladder-shattering 23.5 ounces, cans of AriZona iced tea have never wavered from the 99-cent price point introduced shortly after the drink debuted in 1992. It’s even printed on the label as a way of warding off sugar-water price gouging by retailers.

The fact that AriZona has been able to resist inflation for nearly a quarter-century is impressive. The fact that the cans usually wind up being cheaper than smaller soft drinks is also impressive, until you begin to realize how strange it is that a vat of iced tea and its accompanying ingredients somehow manages to be less expensive than plain water.

In a recent interview with Thrillist, AriZona chief marketing officer and co-owner Spencer Vultaggio shed some light on this convenience store mystery.

Unlike water titans Coke (which distributes Dasani), Evian, or Fiji, AriZona has virtually no advertising dollars invested in their teas. “We feel like it’s more important to spend money on something that our customer really cares about, instead of buying billboards or putting our cans in the hands of some celebrity for a few minutes,” Vultaggio said.

Even with a frugal approach to ads, AriZona still has to deal with rising production costs. To help resist increasing prices to compensate, the company has pursued alternative manufacturing methods, using 40 percent less aluminum in cans and having enough factories dotting the country to make transportation more efficient. Bottled water, in contrast, is sometimes sourced from abroad, making for exorbitant shipping costs.

In the end, it’s not the iced tea that’s more economical than the water; it’s that the container it comes in is simply cheaper to produce and transport. And while AriZona isn’t above charging a premium for fancier drinks—like a tea brewed with oak chips that sells for twice the price—their branding depends heavily on those familiar rows of 99-cent cans and the loyal consumers who keep reaching for them.

Interesting!

I’m glad to know there wasn’t something sinister involved, because I love this stuff and I drink it all the time.

A company that changes its conduct to roll with the times rather than compromise its product is a good company.

Also the company encourages consumers to report stores to them that are trying to sell it for more than 99 cents plus tax. You can call them directly and report the store and they will actually do something about it.
