I'm tired of products that promise more than they can deliver. Advertising should tell me what to expect in the real world, not in some happytime fantasy land where money grows on chia pets and all my pants fit and supermodels frolic on the shores of the lazy Guinness river. I bought this product specifically to test the claims made in their marketing.

The ad wags at Snapple tell us their tea is 'made from the best stuff on Earth'. Fair enough. But saying so is one thing. Subjecting a sample of their beverage to rigorous scientific scrutiny using an industrial mass spectrometer, it turns out, is something else entirely.

I called in a favor from a friend who works at a molecular testing laboratory, and we got to the bottom of Snapple is indeed made of. Apparently, the component analysis identified compounds consistent with natural substances -- like those in tea leaves and peaches, for instance.

However, the analysis did not find ANY discernible traces -- at parts-per-billion sensitivity levels, mind you -- of Cuban Cohiba cigars, Miles Davis' Birth of the Cool, or the dancing outfit Salma Hayek wore in From Dusk Till Dawn.

So it's clear -- nay, it's scientific *fact* -- that Snapple is NOT made from 'the best stuff on Earth'. But for tea -- sure, it's pretty tasty.

My favorite flavor of Snapple. The reason you know its good is because I am allergic to peaches in their natural form-AS A FRUIT - and they kind of disgust me. TEH DRINK, on the other hand, I am in love with. Does it even taste like peach?? probably, but I'll never know. It's very yummy, and does taste like its made "FROM THE EBST STUFF ON EARTH!" I'm sure if you are looking at this ad, you know what I'm talking about haha.
