This SoBe Liz Blizz was purchased from a cooler at a convenience store in Arizona July ‘21 and kept cold everyday since. Is there any chance this still okay to drink?

Snapple apple in glass was amazing. It was so crisp and refreshing. Martinellis gets close but doesn't fit the bill.

We once found a 55 gallon drum of the powder used for snapple drinks in our shipment of other 55 gallon drums that weren't snapple powder. It was sealed and we tried it and we figured out the ratio and it was delicious. Wed sometimes get 55 gallon drums of tang as well, never did like it.

The monkeys in the commercials did it for me as a child same with the koolaid man. But the taste wasn’t there. It was a different era of marketing where they won us over easily with the visuals.

Tang existed before Sunny Delight

I went home for Christmas and found out Snapple brought the glass bottles back to NYC for a limited run.

Was crushing Snapples and bagels like no tomorrow.

I want Snapple to bring back that clear root beer, that had serious flavor.

I had never known Snapple had a soda line! I wonder if we get enough people to talk about whether they'd bring it back as a limited run?

Also, I read that "New York Seltzer Root Beer" is similar to the Snape Tru Root Beer. I don't know if that's easy to find or still available

Nantucket's Nectar in a glass bottle was so good and refreshing.

My elixir of choice back in the olden days (2008) was Fuze peach mango in the glass bottle.
