Zaz Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 April, apparently Snapple knows everything. And speaking of berries... Real Fact #136: Strawberries are the only fruit whose seeds grow on the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaz Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 I don't know if I've done this one before or not, but I'm not going all the way back to find out. Real Fact #62: The life span of a taste bud is ten days. So I guess our tastes really CAN change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaz Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 I still have a stack of caps. Does that give you any idea how much of this tea I actually drink? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgsouthfla Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I think I need to buy some stock in Snapple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaz Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 Me, too. I'm not the only one drinking it since both places that sell it in my town are often sold out. The distributor here doesn't stock the shelves all that often. I think they are making the stores a bit mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgsouthfla Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I never tried Snapple tea before I think I will have to get some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaz Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 The green and the white teas are the only ones I'll buy. The others have high fructose corn syrup. I love Green Tea with Asian Pear. MMMMmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaz Posted August 12, 2007 Author Share Posted August 12, 2007 How about this...... Zaz Fact #1 Drinking too much Snapple can lead to trivial information overload. Funny!

Zaz Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 Thought this one was slightly interesting. Real Fact #333: Napoleon suffered from a fear of cats. Not feeling quite so bad about my arachnaphobia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaz Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 I've heard that he was actually about 5'6" (some reports said 5'2", but they seem to have been proven wrong at some point) which wasn't that different than most people of his era. But since I'm allergic to cats, I can understand having a fear of them even if I'm not. Oh why do I know this stuff. ~Zaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaz Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 Real Fact #108: Licking a stamp burns 10 calories. (The real problem is that the glue on the envelope has 14 calories. Better just lick the middle so you don't gain any weight.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to try this stuff!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaz Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 I've only found it at one area grocery store and a couple of convenience stores. And the good stuff is the green or white teas. The other teas are still made with evil high fructose corn syrup. ~Zaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nichole Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Zaz, I too have been searching for this tea you speak of. I found some snapples but they had HFCS. I stood in the middle of the store and went "Hmm...." Maybe it hasn't made it's way to wisconsin yet. LOL Ok, so I thought I'd be back on today for some fun...but I'm heading off to the Dr. to find out what is causing all this darn belly/back pain. And tomorrow I have to take the car into the shop.....so maybe WED. I'll be back on to play! I miss you all so much!!!! Nichole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaz Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 I'll tell you what, Nichole. I'll bring you a few bottles in December. Hope you get well and come back to play soon! ~Zaz, who misses you, too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaz Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 Hi Linda! I've been trying to drink a bit more water and less tea (but the green stuff is full of antioxidants) so I have fewer bottle caps. Also, I seem to get a lot of the same ones or they are TOTALLY useless (who doesn't already know that the human brain weighs approximately 3 lbs?). I only post the ones that someone might be interested in (I'm hoping Danna still sees this thread and shows her DS). ~Zaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaz Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 Okay, I have to post a few of these so I can get them off my desk. Real Fact #302: Ketchup was once sold as a medicine.
