The Big Can: a tallboy of iced tea wrapped in pastel southwestern art that looked like nothing else in the cooler. It came out of a Brooklyn warehouse in 1992 to fight Snapple, priced at 99 cents — a number the company later started printing on the aluminum itself, and has refused to let go of ever since, through thirty-plus years of inflation.
The iced-tea and juice-drink brand that defined 1990s refreshment, served in a distinctive glass bottle with a metal cap (the famous "Real Facts" printed under the lid didn't arrive until 2002). That satisfying pop when you opened it, the quirky trivia, and flavors like peach and raspberry made Snapple a generational memory.
Snapple's short-lived line of exotic-flavored drinks in tall, tinted-glass bottles with element-themed names. The original four flavors—Fire, Sun, Rain, and Earth—made them feel like a more sophisticated, grown-up version of regular Snapple, and the distinctive glass bottles made them a status symbol at school.
