It was a really small company when they hired a new ad agency and things went crazy, that got corporate investor interest.
And like all good things money and investors screw up everything.

They sold most of the company to an investor who agreed to let them manage it, then the investor took it public and sold it to Quaker Oats who took control. they ran into money troubles and sold it again, then it got sold again. It was later sold again. Basically terrible management by people who only saw dollar signs from quick gains. In my experience with investors, they're some of the most sociopathic and greediest people you will ever meet.

I think I still see Snapple when I shop for groceries, but I don't buy it. It's one of those drinks my parents always drank, but usually the diet version. It was ok, but bottled and canned tea always tastes more like juice and is way too sweet, so I never drank it much.

I miss the facts on the bottle caps, even if many of them weren't true and hitting random wikipedia pages is better.  It was still fun.
