My family recently rediscovered the deliciousness–and healthfulness–of Snapple teas. We’ve also been getting a kick out of reading the fun facts on the bottom of each 16-ounce Snapple cap. And it turns out that there are a lot of them!

This post will be a continuing log of our Snapple Facts cap collection. Please feel free to send your Snapple Facts to me at webmaster@nindomom.com and I’ll be happy to include your family’s Facts to the list!
