Snapple

Back in the day, back when I was working at a real job, I'm sure I used to drink three or four bottles of Snapple Tea every day. There may have been brief dalliances with different beverages, but they would never last, and they've long since been forgotten. You never really forget your first love. (I still drink it from time to time, just not on a daily basis.)

I'd heard that Snapple was redesigning it's packaging (see above), and according to this piece in the New York Times, they're making changes inside and out, replacing corn syrup with real sugar as a sweetener. I wonder if I'll notice the difference?

I've somehow missed completely the news that Mint Snapple Iced Tea has been quietly discontinued — perhaps that's why I missed it — which is a big disappointment. That stuff was great.
