I sent off photos of my art over to Snapple HQ in ‘94 with a auto reply letter. Then I receive this in the mail when I came back from Christmas break. Huh. From the first letter to the second, something was up. But I could not give the art away. After all, I was in college not making a whole lot of dough. And so I asked the university attorney to check in to the letter. The president’s wife liked my art and was able to get this to his desk. Probably should have called myself instead. Looking back, my guess is it wasn’t a big deal. Could have been? Meh. I sold my first piece a couple of months later. The John Lennon white album portrait that was half done at the time.

Two drink flavors I would not have bought.  These were but a few that I couldn’t figure out how they made it to the market.  Both discontinued before 1996. My guess is Snapple was bought out again along with a considerable downsize to the product line. Pardon the quick photoshop, as they were cutup to be used in my art of course.

Snapple had their top sellers. Consequently, they were made into sodas and sold between 93 and 94.  As far as art is concerned, I didn’t used these labels too much because of the shine.  John Lennon’s glasses found here is one example of how they were used.  The Root Beer version was really good. Still strange drinking a clear beverage, like Crystal Pepsi for example.

Snapple Ice Tea had a familiar image on their Iced Tea labels. The background is the Boston Tea Party.  As we know it’s a historical event and a part of American history. Considered to be offensive, the painting is depicting an attack from indians with knives who were about to fight it out with some colonials. The illustration was modified for the next year’s lineup, taking out the entire boat as shown in the Mint Iced Tea.  Pure butchery.

Lime Green Tea?   Discontinued fast. I don’t remember if it was good or not.
