In an attempt to shake what remains of my faith in Snapple true facts, Jason sent me this BBC article. After reading it I was shattered — maybe a duck’s quack does echo. But then I got to thinking — the Brits aren’t really known for their research abilities, so maybe there’s something else going on here. As I thought more, it occurred to me that next to the Spice girls and David Beckham, the thing that the Brits are most passionate about is tea. Yet who won’t readily admit that a bottle of Snapple kicks the crap out of a cup of Earl Grey? So of course the Brits want to do whatever they can to discredit this great American beverage, even if it means publishing bogus research about ducks not quacking. I just don’t understand how I didn’t see this evil conspiracy sooner.
In other news, I passed Jennifer Aniston while driving in to work today, and I can vouch for the fact that even when she isn’t in front of a camera she is really, really cute.
