The best Snapple commercial ever...












So I had this idea for a Snapple commercial last night when we went to WinCo at 2:45 in the morning. We were just about done with our shopping and walked by a display case with a bunch of 4-packs of Snapple. I reached over to get one and in the process of my transferring the quad pack to my cart, one slipped out and began to make its way toward the floor. I tried to stop it with my foot and jerked my body in such a way that another one slipped out and plummeted toward the floor. Both smashed and spilled their sweet nectar all over the floor. "Clean up at the ice cream case, by the ice cream" sounded over the loudspeakers and the clean up guy came over to do his job. We all stood around and mourned the loss of the two bottles of Snapple. "I guess there's a lesson in this," I said. "Got to live life to its fullest every day of your life." We're all just Snapple bottles and who knows when the day will come when we will slip out of our little carrying case and spill our guts out all over the floor. So anyway, to the commercial:

1. It would start off with a slow zooming in on a bunch of "families" of Snapple. There is happy music playing and all the families are talking and enjoying themselves.

2. All of a sudden a large human hand comes into the frame and grabs one of the families. There are a couple of concerned sounds and then the music changes as the father begins to slip. He ends up slipping all the way out and falling and shattering on the floor in slow motion, all the while his family is screaming. The person who is buying the Snapple jerks and drops the mother out of the pack as well. She shatters. The music is really sad as the hand puts the now orphaned Snapples back on the shelf and picks another happy family.

3. The Snapples that are orphaned are then put into a cold display case with a bunch more orphaned Snapples and there is a montage of them shivering and trying to be the ones that get picked to go with the human hand that comes in to buy Snapple. Finally one day a mother and her young son come into the store and look into the display case. This is the first time that we see a human face in the commercial and when they open the case their faces are very warm and glowing. They reach in and just happen to grab the two orphaned Snapples and take them home to a good home. And the ending is that every Snapple eventually goes to a good home and gets loved.
