Have you seen the Snapple Commercials?

I don't like them. They are stupid. (IMO)

What are your thoughts?

SoCalGirl · #2 05-08-2002, 08:03 PM

I completely agree! They're freaky.
But the one with the bottles done up a *NSYNC did make me smile.

I think they are funny...Does this make me Corny as All Heck? Oh, well, at least I'm honest with myself...

Some of 'em, however, are too ridiculous (read: what in the world possessed you to do that?!)...

I started this topic in another forum. I said it then, and I'll say it now-- I HATE THIS DAMN COMMERCIALS!!!

The one in particular that gives me the mad face

is the one with the hip-hop, jheri curled flat tops and gold chains wearing, break-dancing bottles. IMHO, it was an insult to me and our culture. That's just how I feel. I actually want them OFF OF THE AIR NOW !!

I think they are the funniest thing. My friends and I crack up watching them. especially the 1980's one. I really think it's funny that they have the jheri curls and gold chains. Did everyone in the 80's dress this way? No. Was it a part of pop culture at the time? Yes. So why be upset with it? I'm just curious about why this commercial would be insulting to you. I want honest opinions, no drama. I like the one's where the bottles drilled the hole in the girls gym and the girls have no labels on

I think they're funny! My favorite is the one where he's (he? LMAO) on the skateboard and falls... juice splatters on the steps... that is some funny mess!

I hollered when I first saw that. I love those Snapple commercials. I think theyr funny, especially the Nsync and peeping Tom ones.

In Philly, they have Snapple billboards like that too. I almost got into an accident on I-95 because I was laughing at it.

I don't know, but have you all heard that Snapple was made by KKK's and some more product's. When I was a cashier at Walmart in the nineties a flyer was passed around stating this and they wanted people to Boycott these products. I really can't recall the other products, but there is supposedly to be some type of symbol located on the product. I think it was a crown. I was just informing because someone stated that they had bottles with curls or something and gold chains. I worked for them in 94. Maybe somebody has heard of this.

CJUS, the Snapple-KKK link is an urban legend. There is a "K" on the Snapple bottle, but it stands for "Kosher", and the boat on the bottle isn't a slave ship, but a depiction of the Boston Tea Party.

CJUS · #11 05-10-2002, 01:23 PM

Bariki, I am not talking about the letter symbols. I am aware of what the letters mean, but it had a list of consumable and non-consumable items. I think Tide was one also. I am not for sure, they were asking people to not to buy these products. I don't know how successful this boycott was, though.

Im_just_me · #12 05-10-2002, 02:41 PM

CJUS, I think I know what you are refering to. I think the company was Proctor and Gamble. They make a lot of products that people use everyday, which is why they never were really boycotted. Sound familiar??

CJUS · #13 05-10-2002, 02:48 PM

Yeah, it sure does. I couldn't think of the company's name, but I knew Snapple and Tide was on the list.

I've heard this too. One of my co-workers states that she saw the KKK/Snapple owners on an episode of Oprah talking about how much support they get from our community.

I have even been "warned" in a local store for purchasing a bottle. People take that serious around here.

HC this is starting with HC, but it's about the snapple commercial.

HC I finally saw the Snapple commercial, the one with the boys and girls snapple bottles and the boys are looking at the girl snapple bottles in the shower.

HC that was one of the nastiest, and craziest commercials I have ever seen?!!
