About

Snapple Fact "Real Fact" refers to a series of photoshop parodies of Snapple's "real fact" bottle cap campaign. Instead of the questionably true "facts" found underneath the bottle cap of Snapple drinks, people online have replaced them with something offensive or absurd.

Origin

In 2002, Snapple introduced "real facts" underneath the bottle cap of the drink as a way to "amaze and amuse" customers.^[1]

The picture featuring "Real Fact" 933 comes from the blog Zully's World.^[2] The picture was published on June 16th, 2015, and the original fact (shown below) reads, "A crocodile can’t stick out its tongue."
