Oh, SNAPple!

Since I started working in April, I have enjoyed a surprising beverage with my brown-bagged lunch: A bottle of Snapple fruit juice from Costco.  Last weekend I went to the big box giant and discovered to my dismay that they no longer are carrying my Snapple drinks.  There is still the diet tea version, but not the regular kind.

My regular kind came in three flavors--in a 24 pack.  I had fruit punch, kiwi strawberry and mango madness. Each of these are delicious and tasty.  And the 20 ounce bottles were a perfect fit once I emptied the water in my insulated mug each day.

What could make Costco pull this item from their shelves? I mean, besides me being the only one who apparently was buying them?

Sad.  And a little thirsty.  A Capri Sun pouch just doesn't do it like these did.  And considering that I have been off the Diet Coke for a week short of 50 months now, I thought I found something I could enjoy as much as that.

True, I'm a water drinker now, but a bottle of flavor sure tasted good while it lasted.
