I don't think this is in Europe. Most of Europe use millilitres as the main unit of measurement for drinks (and therefore the cans would have something like 500 ml content, instead of these odd 473 ml).
For clarification, this photo was taken at a Winco in Idaho Falls. Hence, this drink is, indeed, an American beverage. Now go out and buy some. You all know you want to get punch-drunk off of this stuff.
@8ftmetalhead Can of coke is usually $1 here. Juice products in cans will frequently be priced lower than soda due to their lesser popularity. Once you get to bottles, though, it's anyone's game.
At first I was like "OMFG official pony drinks!" Then "Oh, just Snapple." and finally I laughed at the joke and myself. Thanks Seth, we all know we need more laughs currently.
Hasbro, you're ignoring a potential gold mine. Imagine all the awesome flavors that your ponies can inspire! AppleJack Juice, Carrot Cake shake, Seapony Lyra brine...maybe not.
Yeah, the Cutie Mark coincidence does at least make me wonder if the product is new enough to have been at all influenced by the pony. (No idea what the lead time is on something like this). It'd be a super obscure reference, so I don't see Snapple doing it intentionally, but there's always the chance of an individual designer knowing the pony.
Which, unfortunately, is only good at freezing temperatures. Then again, it's an interesting experience, having soda freeze as it goes down your throat.
While this is pretty funny I expect sooner or later we will see a Rainbow Dash energy drink from those guys who make those nerdy energy drinks. You know the ones with cans featuring Sonic, Megaman, Goku, Mario, and Ken to name a few.
@Jelfes I am failing right now at trying to describe it. Have you ever swallowed an ice cube whole? It's got that strange feeling. It's like drinking soda, and feeling it go down like a slushie. Burns a tad, but... You could just try it.
I would have said coincidence until I noticed that Berry Punch's cutie mark and the mark on the can are the exact same thing.
Speaking of which, I believe it is more reasonable to assume that the the drink came first. Perhaps one of the animators was drinking this at the time.

ReplyDeleteOoh, new poll. Trollestia...you ponies make me sad.
Even the cutie mark is the same... This is uncanny...
ReplyDeleteNo pun intended...
@Celestia
ReplyDeleteSocks... Mmmhmm... Socks.
I don't think this is in Europe. Most of Europe use millilitres as the main unit of measurement for drinks (and therefore the cans would have something like 500 ml content, instead of these odd 473 ml).
ReplyDeletereally? 79 cents for a can of drink?
ReplyDeleteYou americans, why you so lucky. mfw can of coke is double that here at best.
lol, whenever I go to the supermarket now... ponies.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant unintentional marketing!

ReplyDeleteOh Snapple how did you get so hilarious?
ReplyDeleteSuddenly I really want a drink.....
ReplyDeleteI approve pony drinks!
ReplyDeleteGrape her in the mouth!
ReplyDelete...yea I went there.
I was disappointed to find that this was the only post tagged "delicious Snapple"
ReplyDeleteWhy isnt MAGNETO in the poll?
ReplyDeleteI am dissapoint
I thought the name was a mildly amusing coincidence. Then I noticed the graphic vs her cutie mark, and now it's hilarious.
ReplyDeleteAlso, how are blobs not auto winning this poll!? My Little Chubby Blobs RULE!
Pure WANT!
ReplyDeleteBrazil doesn't have this drink T-T
Come on, even her cutie mark matches @.@ this cannot be a coincidence!
ReplyDeleteOh wow...I want a can.
ReplyDeleteAt first I was like "OMFG official pony drinks!"
ReplyDeleteThen "Oh, just Snapple."
and finally I laughed at the joke and myself. Thanks Seth, we all know we need more laughs currently.
I'm going to buy myself some Snapple soon.
Haha, amazing.
ReplyDeleteBest advertisement.
...Or Snapple's gonna get sued. XD
Hasbro, you're ignoring a potential gold mine. Imagine all the awesome flavors that your ponies can inspire! AppleJack Juice, Carrot Cake shake, Seapony Lyra brine...maybe not.
ReplyDeleteConfound these ponies
ReplyDeleteThey drive me to beer.
I think of this every time I sell one of those at work. It amuses me.
ReplyDeleteThis plus a few shots of Black Label. Yes. This is being done tomorrow night.
ReplyDeleteOh crap. I didn't even make this connection and I've been buying these for at least a year!
ReplyDeleteXD
Cherry ones are the best though.
hmmm....a Berry Punch drink. Does this mean that Snapple is making alcoholic drinks now? Awesome.
ReplyDeleteAaaand im thirsty... I know what I'm buying tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
ReplyDeleteAlso they all taste like dog piss, every flavor of canned snapple.
Meh. I just drink applejuice.
ReplyDelete...
There's a lot of bourbon in the applejuice I drink though...
@darksidecomma
ReplyDeleteI'm fairly certain drinking dog piss will permanently damage your taste buds. Maybe that's what happened.

ReplyDeleteI C WAT U DID THER
ReplyDeleteBerry Punch's cutie mark looks exactly like the picture in the can. I bet someone in the team did that in purpose.
ReplyDeleteineedtobuyallthecans
ReplyDeletealcohol is an other natural flavor.
ReplyDeleteI come home from work to see this. My morning is now complete.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the Cutie Mark coincidence does at least make me wonder if the product is new enough to have been at all influenced by the pony. (No idea what the lead time is on something like this). It'd be a super obscure reference, so I don't see Snapple doing it intentionally, but there's always the chance of an individual designer knowing the pony.
ReplyDeleteNow all they need is some IBC Cherilee Cherry.
ReplyDeleteWhich, unfortunately, is only good at freezing temperatures.
ReplyDeleteThen again, it's an interesting experience, having soda freeze as it goes down your throat.
@Masquerade Sounds sort of scary.
ReplyDeleteCutie Mark for the WIN!
ReplyDeleteI actully have some right now *drinks*
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FY3BC9J4B24
ReplyDeletei like where your going with this seth!
ReplyDeleteI WANT IT
ReplyDeleteYesterday I was made aware of Tropicana's 'Berry Punch.' I should take of picture of that, too.
ReplyDeleteI'll buy one and turn it into a room ornament. But that's for later. The show's still rolling!
ReplyDeletePony themed drinks. Ok
ReplyDeleteThis drink isn't new at all. My store sells it, we've had it since around March 2010, and I'm fairly certain it's been around much longer than that.
ReplyDelete"I'm Berry Punch, and this is my favourite drink in all of Equestria."
ReplyDeleteWhile this is pretty funny I expect sooner or later we will see a Rainbow Dash energy drink from those guys who make those nerdy energy drinks. You know the ones with cans featuring Sonic, Megaman, Goku, Mario, and Ken to name a few.
ReplyDeleteWhat sorcery is this?
ReplyDelete@Offtopicrainbow
ReplyDeleteEuro sign? I see a cents symbol, but no Euro.
This could be anywhere that uses cents as part of their currency.
@Jelfes
ReplyDeleteI am failing right now at trying to describe it. Have you ever swallowed an ice cube whole? It's got that strange feeling. It's like drinking soda, and feeling it go down like a slushie. Burns a tad, but... You could just try it.
... Slow news day.
@Offtopicrainbow
ReplyDeleteSorry to state the painfully obvious, but, if that Snapple was made in France, wouldn't the text be in French?
I do applaud you in making everyone else focus on the cent/euro aspect, though.
Yeah, I'm surprised you hadn't known about Tropicana's Berry Punch flavor. I work at a supermarket and I chuckle every time I see it.
ReplyDelete. . . Now in vodka flavor
ReplyDeleteSo approve
ReplyDelete2% alcohol?
ReplyDeleteSomeone definitely did that on purpose.
ReplyDeleteThere's been a pic of that floating around for months, except someone has their thumb over the G...
ReplyDeleteSomeone please print out some Berry Punch images, and make some stickers, and put them on the cans... while in the store.
ReplyDelete*chuckle* Now I see why this stuff is sold in pints.
ReplyDelete@Euro debate: That's definitely a cent symbol. 79 euros is currently equal to over $103, and even 200-proof alcohol wouldn't cost that much.
Snapple drinks in cans? Never came across one of those before. I always buy them in glass bottles.
ReplyDeleteI might have to look these up on my next visit to a liquor store.
Snapple? In cans? Zuh?
ReplyDelete*eyes the net weight of the can*
ReplyDelete...it comes in pints? I'M GETTING ONE.
Oh Snapple.
ReplyDelete. . .bad pun.
*Facehoof Twilight*
Berry Punch is a good pony, but unconcious, inebriated Berry Punch is best pony.
ReplyDeletethats... ONLY 79 CENTS!?
ReplyDeleteohyou.bry
ReplyDeleteYep. Just yep.
ReplyDeleteNom nom nom
ReplyDeletehttp://xkcd.com/18/
ReplyDeleteHasbro can make SO MUCH MONEY from us.
ReplyDeleteColgate, for instance, could launch a "Peppermint Crunch" and a Colgate Pony product.
Apart from Berry Punch, Snapple can make an Applejack Juice, Orange, etc.
Carrot Cake snacks would also be very popular...
There's are bronies in the Snapple Europe graphic design team!
ReplyDeleteI want to believe it.
Gramatic Derp.
ReplyDeleteI lol'd.
ReplyDeleteI see what you did there snapple ;D I wonder if they have undercover bronies working for them?
ReplyDeleteOmg
ReplyDeleteLOL
Just awesome!
ReplyDeleteDidn't care until I saw the cutie mark on the can. Then I was all like "OMG" and so forth.
ReplyDeleteI C WAT THEY DID THAR
ReplyDeleteWhich came first, the can or the pony?
ReplyDeleteThe best stuff on Earth just got... better, with ponies!
ReplyDeleteNow they made a drink that the Dos XX Guy will always drink.
ReplyDeleteIf I ever see that I might buy a pack and keep an empty can. Ah, Berry Punch. <3
ReplyDeleteVodka + Berry Punch = mm.
ReplyDelete'Flavored with other natural flavoring' Are candy colored ponies a natural flavoring?
ReplyDeleteneed Berry Punch stickers to put on the can when I drink it. Snapple is manly again.
ReplyDeleteSnapple...in...a can?!?!?! What is this witchcraft?!?!
ReplyDeleteWhy doesn't this post appear in the Blog Archive at the bottom of every page? Can't you give it a title?
ReplyDeleteI would have said coincidence until I noticed that Berry Punch's cutie mark and the mark on the can are the exact same thing.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of which, I believe it is more reasonable to assume that the the drink came first. Perhaps one of the animators was drinking this at the time.
Snapple just got 20% cooler
ReplyDeleteNo! Bad Seth!
ReplyDeleteGrape her in the mouth?
