Meaning and background
The story behind Snapple
Snapple is an established brand name for American juice drinks and iced teas, rather than an ordinary English word with a single dictionary translation. The company identifies its founders and its early history in Brooklyn. The sound has a playful echo of Snap and apple, but that resemblance is not enough to invent an official word-by-word derivation. The commercial reference should be labelled as such.
- Origin
- Proper name of an American beverage brand founded in the Brooklyn area in 1972. Source
