There are supposed to be a total of 500 Snapple “real facts” under their bottle caps.

I can’t find any listing that goes over 230, though there are a few sites that have random facts after that.

Anybody got better search powers than I do who can provide the full listing?

I’m curious to see if their trend toward “ever less real” facts is continuing.

How do they get 500 “Real Facts” in a bottle cap? Written really tiny?

Rather, 500 separate facts on separate Snapple bottle lids

Perhaps they could go to really obvious Real Facts.

Tea has been used as a contraceptive for 5000 years by Egyptians practising the art of true Snapple and not false million-preservative drugs farms! Dilute! Dilute! OK!

Wow, thanks everyone. I knew I could count on the Dope.

Not saying what I knew I could count on you for, though. 😃

I got the king of all Snapple FACTS the other day –

**A duck’s quack does not echo**.

I shit you not. Needless to say, I saved the cap as a SDMB-style collector’s item.
