Talk:Snapple

message: Snapple used to make sodas.  They were clear and- if not quite ubiquitous- reasonably popular when I was a kid.  Sold at health food stores, some grocery stores, and both of our local movie theatres in Dutchess County, NY.  No idea if they were ever distributed nationally nor where one would look to verify.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.163.232.140 (talk) 08:34, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

;Gay-rights Controversy
In the mid 1990's a boycot was organized against Snapple when the company decided it would deny health benfits and other priveleges to the same-sex partners of employees. Gay publications and activists began running print ads encouraging the gay and lesbian community to avoid the products of Snapple. The company reversed this decision in 2001.

I think more research has to be done as I recently witnessed TV news interviewing researcher revealing the good of Snapple juice as to help eliminate muscle pain, arthritis and other body pain.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.124.226.80 (talk) 20:40, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

message: What happened to the "Dragon" flavor? I distinctly remember drinking it. I had thought it was dragonfruit-flavored, but it could have been something else. Maybe it was named differently in different marketing areas? --64.46.9.171 19:03, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

message: While writing the afforementioned article, "Snapple Real Facts", I noticed that a board game was made based on the Real Facts, at http://http://www.boardgamesexpress.com/prodInfo.asp?number=8118. However, when merging the two articles for the afforementioned reason, I was a bit perplexed at where to mention the board game. I'm sure it's at least somewhat noteworthy for the Snapple article, but I'm not sure where to put it. Kevin 20:09, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

:While not quite as simplistic as that issue, the "Health" section of the article shows a fair bit of unsubstantiated bias.  The portion about aspartame causing tumors, etc. has not been substantiated at all and citing a single study with suspect testing methods doesn't cut it to have such a significantly skewed message. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.109.164.168 (talk • contribs) 04:31, July 3, 2007
:Yes. It has a high sugar content that is of a particularilly unhealthy form (high fructose corn syrup).  With no redeeming nutritional value this makes it unhealthy.  The question is more how unhealthy is it and is it more unhealthy than a coke. marnues (talk) 23:08, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Health 

message: Does this really need to be so long? Assuming we're not going to list all 200, surely all that's required is a brief idea of how they work. A great big list as we have now looks pointless. Besides, the facts aren't referenced, and just asserting that they're "real Real Facts" is not good enough for Wikipedia. 86.143.52.102 03:39, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The whole list violates WP:NOT#TRIVIA and needs to either be condensed into a paragraph about the Real Facts, or removed. FWIW, their web site (which I just visited to try and confirm #364 on Borborygmus) asserts "and by "Real," we mean A-1, certified, true info. Some of 'em might sound a little out there, but we promise they're correct." Since some have allegedly been proven otherwise, I'd claim that Snapple is NOT a reliable source, and their "real facts" do not belong on WP.

thread_title:  Real Facts list 

message: We may not be able to confirm the real facts (unless an editor wants to visit their web site and hit refresh a few hundred times). Here's why: 
In answer to a request for a list of their Real Facts to verify a claim on Borborygmus, BrandsPeopleLove.com consumer relations declined to provide any. I wrote, Your real facts are listed on Wikipedia, but cannot be verified because you don't offer a comprehensive list on your site. Please provide a list, or the "real facts" will need to be removed from Wikipedia. Thanks!  Here's the reply I got.
That "plus multiple websites on true facts" statement worries me. This makes Snapple a third party reference, and facts cannot be confirmed from "multiple web sites" as a verified, reliable source. I know that for this article we are only attesting that each  "fact" (factoid) was used on a bottle cap, but without a list from them, how do we know?

message: I think the sneak peaks at coming facts are not very wikipedia-appropriate.  Partly ebcause they feel a bit like original research, but more because they just feel like advertising.  They also are not very relevant to the article.  82.81.153.6 (talk) 10:19, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: I was wondering about this. There is mention of Operation Rescue, but the article only explains why people thought Snapple was supporting the KKK. The way the article is phrased gives the impression that Operation Rescue is somehow related to the KKK. Suggest rephrasing. Covarr (talk) 18:05, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, they both (Operation Rescue and the KKK) are generally considered to be right-wing or conservative causes, and there is some overlap with some anti-abortionist figures (e.g. Scott Roeder) also having some racist sympathies (even while most anti-abortionists try to paint pro-choice people as being racist).  To be fair, most modern US conservatives shun explicitly racist groups like the Klan, but the Klan is certainly more conservative than it is liberal; it has only been in the past several years that mainstream conservative intellectual activists have begun heavily borrowing philosophy from libertarians and objectivists in order to re-label traditional right-wing extremist movements (e.g. KKK, Nazis, Fascists) as "left-wing", since they are all anti-individualist and at least partly critical of capitalism. 173.16.125.178 (talk) 23:56, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

message: I never heard the one about the KKK before (until I read it here); pretty dubious.  But I do remember hearing that Rush Limbaugh endorsed it on his show (ca. 1993), and that Snapple donated money to organizations that want to forever keep cannabis illegal (ca. 1997).173.16.125.178 (talk) 23:41, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Snapple endorsing conservative causes? 

message: Some mention should be made that certain flavors are now being sweetened with sucralose, an artificial sweetener in combination with sugar.  These are halfway in between diet and regular in terms of calories.  I drank a non-diet bottle of "noni-berry" and it had the artificial sweetener it in (and was nasty because of it).  The bottle says "low calorie juice drink" on it  (in small letters) instead of diet.  I hope this trend of not labeling artificially sweetened drinks clearly as diet does not catch on.  06:10, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sucralose 

message: I'm copy editing the article.....unfortunately, ref 8 is merely a photo of a Snapple bottle stored somewhere at blogspot. Firstly, blogs aren't kosher as reference sources....but it is just a photo.....but the problem is that the reference interpolates and postulates a' lot of stuff....and a photo just doesn't back up everything that's being said, so it needs to go. --Bddmagic (talk) 03:06, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

message: I used to drink Snapple. And in Ireland, the Kiwi/Strawberry flavour had fruit juice in it. Same with fruit punch.
Not sure if it still does, but it was quite a shock to buy a bottle in the states and find it was flavoured sugar water. Would be worth a mention if it can be verified.83.70.170.48 (talk) 16:40, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Snapple international 

message: Here on the US west coast they sell them in tall cans right next to the Arizona Iced tea... and they taste about the same -- DISGUSTING.
In the late '80s, early '90s they were HUGE. They had fruit pulp floating in the bottoms of the glass bottles and were delicious. They were no doubt made from fruit juice. As stated in the beginning of this article, Snapple used to be a all natural juice company -- a company nothing at all like Arizona Iced tea which sells Kool-Aid in cans. At some point the formula DID change from an all natural fruit based beverage to a kool-aid type drink loaded with HFCS or beet sugar. Any info on when the quality of their products got so bad? I assume it was after being purchased by Quaker (which was when they started disappearing for stores).
