Hording ... SNAPPLE???

For those who follow my twitter, facebook, zannel and/or myspace have all noticed a slight obsession with "Bret's Blend Tea Trop*A*Rocka - Diet Snapple". Currently I have a small pyramid of Snapple consisting of 17, 6-packs sitting in my room and one in the fridge. Now besides the obvious, that I'm slightly batshit crazy, why would I have so much damn Snapple? Well it's because Snapple does randomly decide that sometimes they should discontinue "flavors" and a brand.

Firstly let's start with the brand, depending on the age or taste of some of my readers may or may not remember "Snapple Soda". The two flavors I remember are "Tru Root Beer" a clear root beer and "Cherry Lime Rickey". I remember being a kid and constantly hunting down the root beer and then one day *POOF*, the stopped the whole line of Snapple Soda.

Now the other brand they got rid of was "Elements" that had flavors like "Rain", "Earth", "Fire" and "Sun". Those were the basic four flavors that they came out with which they expanded onto and added five more flavors. Personally I was a fan of "Rain", it was a refreshing flavor. I remember spending the end of my highschool career and the beginning of college drinking "Rain". Then once again *POOF*.

I mustn't forget my favorite flavor of Snapple "Bali Blast" drank it for many years and you guessed it *POOF*.

So let's ballpark from 1990 until 2010 Snapple has gotten rid of a brand that I enjoy roughly every ten years, not to mention the random disappearance of "Bali Blast". Here we are now in 2010 and I have found a new flavor I enjoy "Bret's Blend Tea Trop*A*Rocka - Diet Snapple". This time I am merely getting ahead of Snapple and stocking up on it that way if I decide to stop drinking it, it can be on my terms

For all of you that think I'm losing it just a little bit more, go out, try and find a bottle and taste it. So far everyone that has tried it on my recommendation as enjoyed it. Everyone know I don't endorse specific brands and won't until they pay up and I'm not getting paid by Snapple for this (I wouldn't bitch one bit if they did though ... I'm just sayin' Snapple).

Other news/upcoming:
"A six gun for LOBO, two kills for a virgin." is rolling along, it now has a twitter @ASixGunForLobo and a website asixgunforlobo.com. - Remember if it wasn't for Western X westernxtheshow.com there would be no LOBO, so don't forget to check them out as well.

Congrats to Kristin Davis for getting on the ballot for Governor of NY.

And just because she is both a friend and trainer to myself and Kristin Davis here is a plug for MJ Carlesi and musclesorority.com.

If I plug MJ I must also plug Steve C. of Foundry who has just released "Foundry Retooled" on iTunes http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/retooled-feat-rich-decicco/id389765371 definitely worth the download.

That's all for this post, so until next time; "Enough is enough! I have had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane!"
