How awesome are .99 Cent Arizona Iced teas? 

Arizona Ice Teas are the true north in the American economy. With the recession in the United States a lot of our beliefs in George Washington greenback have been shaken, nay rocked to their very foundation. We thought gas would never go above 3 dollars...we were wrong. We believed our dollar menu was unchangeable...yet here we stand, dollar burgers with no cheese, the wendy's junior bacon a buck 1.19, and proably worst of all 4 piece chicken nuggets 1.25 (you know we've hit a low when the most processed meal, possibly possessing 0% chicken, is more than a dollar. And yet, fear not Mr. Washington for there is hope . There is one thing that refuses to yield, one thing that will always be 99 cents--Arizona Iced Tea.

T-Mobile Deceptive Ads

T-Mobile announced last month a new type of wireless plan with no restrictions, no annual contracts and no asterisks attached. It now appears that this may not be entirely true. As the new plan stands customers must pay full price for their own phone, but could pay for it over time with a payment plan. The catch is that those who decide to go for the 24 month payment plan need to sign a wireless service agreement for the entire 24 months of pay the balance owed on the phone if the service is cancelled before the phone is paid off. Because of this T-Mobile has had to agree in court to end the advertising and refund customers who paid for phone equipment under this plan.

Companies that deceive customers risk getting found out which means they may have to pay back their customers, lose customers, and damage their public image. Why then do companies risk it?
