The awful truth The awful truth

Friday June 16, 2006

Most of you probably know about Snapple’s “Real Facts”. On the bottom of each bottle cap, is printed a “Real Fact”. Each “Real Fact” is a one-liner piece of information about a random topic. For example:

#92 Fish can drown

Here is an almost comprehensive list of all the Snapple “Real Facts”. Many of these facts sound almost too too good to be true. The rest are too good to be true.

Verdad, Half of Snapple’s “Real Facts” are blatant lies. Snapple reveals this on the infamous “Real Fact 0” cap (which is why I refered to the link as an almost comprehensive list).

#0 Half of all Snapple “Real Facts” are actually fake.

I was devistated when I saw this cap. I enjoyed reading the facts, learning about giant cheesecakes and female kangaroos. I can’t even think about drinking Snapple anymore, much less looking at a “Real Fact”. I guess it’s my own fault though, I should never trust something where the words “Real Facts” are in quotes.
