of course popularity of snapple you're the most popular girl in your school snapple
has become a staple in popular culture over the years it was featured on an episode of
seinfeld where interestingly it was rejected by characters for being too fruity snapple no
the brand is also pretty heavily associated with howard stern and to a lesser degree
rush limbaugh because it sponsored their radio shows and therefore was frequently plugged on air
snapple was also the official beverage sponsor of america's got talent from season seven to season
nine when howard stern was a judge on the show it was also at this time that snapple launched
its trademark brand slogan made from the best stuff on earth the tagline was first introduced
in snapple ads that poked fun at older beer and sports drinks campaigns in order to counteract
coke and pepsi challenge commercials in recent years snapple advertisements have gotten kind of
creepy they feature anthropomorphic fruits and bottles of snapple with human-like faces
it's just that their facial features are almost too human-like hey can you pass
us that snapple spiked we're going to need it i have seen unspeakable things sugar levels sugar
for a brand that markets its products as made from the best stuff on earth
snapple's drinks aren't even really that much healthier than a soda a 16 ounce bottle is 160
calories alone with 40 grams of carbs and 40 grams of added sugar that's eight teaspoons of sugar per
serving for its short list of ingredients citric acid is listed third which means there's more
of an additive in this drink than there is tea because bottled tea is often brewed and processed
most of the antioxidants found in natural tea are completely absent in the bottled version
companies also water down the tea in order to lessen the bitterness of the antioxidants
and then increase the sweetness which results in even lower levels of antioxidants this
probably isn't much of a secret but your mom was right when she told you it's all sugar
i see right here it says i shouldn't have given you sugar the real facts are actually real what

dedicated they are to their cause and snapple is definitely dedicated to bringing their customers
real facts and real facts only by the way did you know that camels have three eyelids
yep real fact number five i can't believe this the snapple company was started by bffs
best friend's best friends making a cake snapple was founded by three best friends
in 1972 and long island new york leonard marsh his brother-in-law hyman golden and his childhood
friend arnold greenberg launched the company originally known as unadulterated food products
in order to sell juice to health food stores it started off as a part-time business so greenberg
continued to run his health food store while marsh and golden ran a window washing business
in case their juice operation was unsuccessful in an interview marsh admitted that when they
first began their small business he knew as much about juice as about making an atom bomb
no wonder they kept their options open they later decided that the company name unadulterated food
products likely wouldn't roll off potential customers tongues so a name change was in order
the name snapple combined the words snappy and apple which they originally chose as the name for
a carbonated apple juice the apple juice never actually made it to the market because one of
the batches fermented in the bottle causing the caps to fly off still the founders liked the name
so much they decided to use it as the new company moniker thus the snapple beverage corporation was
born in the early 1980s it all happened at the beginning of that turbulent decade known as the
80s glass versus plastic bottles in 2018 snapple introduced plastic bottles in lieu of its classic
glass ones as with most changes to nostalgic brands the internet was sent into an uproar there
are actually a couple of petitions online to bring back the glass bottles with the claim that plastic
is more harmful to the environment there are a few online posts floating around about this topic
where one user argues that this simply isn't the case while creating glass produces fewer emissions
than creating the same weight and polyethylene terephthalate p-e-t the glass bottles actually
require more material than the plastic kind oh i have a point i promise because the plastic bottles
weigh less than the glass ones they also emit less carbon to transport because trucks are loaded by
weight single-use glass is more challenging to recycle than most think and is almost as
expensive as simply producing virgin material despite this snapple glass bottles are still
available in their 6 and 12 packs so if you're missing the 90s or think snapple simply tastes
better in the glass bottles you've still got options even on the plastic bottles snapple kept
their original bottle caps after all opening a snapple drink wouldn't be the same without the pop
snapple theatre center i love the theater snapple cedar center is a multi-theater entertainment
complex opened in may of 2006 at the corner of 50th street and broadway in new york city
it's a 20 000 square foot state of the art entertainment center with a total seating capacity
of 398 between two theaters inside the building you'll find rehearsal studios contemporary lobbies
two bars with cabaret style seating and two merchandise stands it was known as the snapple
theater center until 2016 and was later renamed simply to the theater center and at one point
there was actually a giant snapple ice tea bottle outside the theater the location is known for its
theatrical performances dance recitals and concert events although the name may be gone
from the marquee i wonder if they sell snapple at the concession stand hmm only had enough for
one snapple the snapple lady was an actual employee she's a legend wendy kaufman better
known as the snapple lady from the commercials was actually an employee for the company she
began working in the ordering department in 1991 and used to read and reply to the company fan mail
she stated once that when she was a kid she had a celebrity crush on greg brady from the brady bunch
she wrote her one and only fan letter to the actor barry williams and received no response so when
kaufman began noticing that people were taking the time to write letters to snapple she knew she had
to respond to those who wanted to connect with the brand and so wendy kaufman began reading real fan
mail in snapple commercials from 1993 to 1996. she starred in a total of 36 commercials with some of
them even winning awards in an interview with oprah kaufman revealed that working at snapple
wasn't just a job for her it was a lifeline before she was recruited she admitted that she had been
addicted to narcotics for nearly 10 years snapple kept her sober and offered her the opportunity
to do wonderful nice things for other people for as much joy as she brought to snapple's audience
it seems snapple managed to return the favor i just need a moment snapple ownership changes is
this business business numbers this is working snapple was a company that grew quickly and
exponentially the three owners teamed up with an investment firm in 1992 and sold about 70 percent
of the company this is when they became a national brand they were an emerging brand in a profitable
market with rapidly growing sales and a concrete image it's no wonder quaker oats was willing to
buy snapple for 1.7 billion only a short time after it's widely agreed upon that this number
was extremely overpriced but it's important to note that quaker also owned gatorade and saw
the deal as a great acquisition unfortunately for quaker they quickly learned that snapple couldn't
be marketed the same way gatorade was they tried selling snapple in cases at the grocery store and
this switch in marketing was unsuccessful at the time quaker also made the detrimental decision to
let go of the beloved snapple lady all these factors contributed to a significant loss in
value of the brand and quaker oats sold snapple to try arc for 300 million dollars only two years
after they acquired it this kind of downgrade in resale meant that quaker lost 1.6 million dollars
every day they owned snapple tri-arc however did much better in promoting snapple they focused on
selling in convenience stores again and hired back wendy kaufman for pr events effectively
undoing all of quaker oats mistakes in the year 2000 tri arc sold to cadbury schweppes for 1.4
billion dollars as part of a bigger deal with some other beverage brands snapple is now owned by
couric dr pepper and is still one of the leading ready-to-drink iced tea brands on the market
snapple's other products they sell food and they sell stuff snapple has a couple of other products
produced by gel cert under a license from snapple for example snapple singles to go is a powdered
drink mix that you combine with water in order to flavor it gel cert is known for making many
similar drink mixes under licenses from brands like starburst skittles sour patch kids welch's

except you know they're sorbet so you can enjoy your favorite snapple drinks in sorbet
