About Snapple
Snapple began in 1972 as a New York business selling fruit juices to health food shops, and grew through glass bottles, quirky flavours and facts printed under the cap. It passed through Quaker Oats, which paid $1.7 billion and sold it three years later for $300 million, one of the more studied acquisition failures.
