Sep 12, 2009

 Sup guys, just sitting back and relaxing sipping on some Snapple and celebrating now the forums are back up. While browsing I completely forgot that Snapple® gives us little facts behind the caps from the bottles. Let me just go ahead and tell you what mine says:

Real Fact #960: There are 21 "secret" highways that are part of the Interstate Highway System. They are not identified as such by road signs.

Now, I found that interesting, and so I made this thread in hopes you guys grab a diet Snapple® and tell me what it says under your caps? Also to anyone outside these United States, I ask you thia: is Snapple available in your country? If so, do you have some interesting facts t o share as well? Alright enough typing, time to sit back watch some SGDQ and guzzle down some Snapple®.

An Emperor's slightest dislike is transmitted to those who serve him, and there it is amplified into rage.
They still sell Snapple?

Strike quick and hurry at him,
not caring to hit or miss.
So that you dishonor him before the judges



 I stopped drinking Snapple when I found out it was literally worse for you than an equally sized soda and I also stopped drinking soda frequently because I enjoy having teeth and nice skin.

The occasional Mexican Coke is ok though. Very refreshing on a hot day.
