Opponents of Arizona's new anti-immigrant law are calling for a boycott of the state's products - including the popular Arizona Iced Tea.

The problem: Arizona Iced Tea is actually brewed in New York.

Online, misguided tea fans vowed to switch to Lipton or Snapple.

"Dear Arizona: If you don't change your immigration policy, I will have to stop drinking your enjoyable brand of iced tea," Twittered Jody Beth in Los Angeles. 

"It is the drink of fascists," wrote Travis Nichols in Chicago.

The company did not return messages asking if they planned to set the public straight.

Founded in Brooklyn in 1992, the firm was based in Queens before moving into a new $35 million headquarters in Nassau County last year. 

The new state law allows cops to demand citizenship papers from anyone they think looks illegal.

Actual Arizona firms facing a boycott: Cold Stone Creamery, U-Haul and Best Western.

Thanks for letting us know about the firms located in Arizona so we can go out of our way to support them. I hope a lot more states have the guts to enforce our immigration laws. We are suffering an invasion right now and the feds are looking the other way because it's all stupid people coming in and stupid people vote democrat.

Not only is it time for some yummy Arizona iced tea, I think the tea party needs to grow! Since my beloved Red Wings slapped the snot out of the Coyotes last night I can now say with with all my heart GO ARIZONA.!

Agree with you both. I usually brew my own but time to try something new. Will also look into patronizing other Arizona based firms.
