I don't know if this will kill you (or make you kill me), however, I just gotta let you know. We can find a whole list of snapple 'Real Facts' online.. oops >.<

Well, I will not spoilt your crave & fun in seeking for the real facts, and so I will not post the website here for you. But, if you thought that you might want to take the shortcut way, let me know k? *winks*

oops >.< hahahaha~

Oh! Something else I found on Wikipedia that seems interesting.

Several of the facts on Snapple caps have been found to be incorrect or out of date, including:

#1 A goldfish's attention span is three seconds. In fact a Goldfish's attention span and memory lasts well over 3 seconds which was proven in an experiment done by the MythBusters, in which they trained several goldfish to complete a maze.

#36 "A duck's quack doesn't echo" Proven false by Snopes.

#69 "Caller ID is illegal in California. There is no law against Caller ID in the state, though there were lengthy debates about legalizing it in the early 90's.

#77 No piece of paper can be folded in half more than 7 times. This was proven false by the Discovery Channel show MythBusters, who folded a piece of paper 11 times. The piece of paper used in MythBusters was an oversized piece of paper and thinner than a standard 8.5"x11" inch piece of paper.

#114 "The oldest known animal was a tortoise, which lived to be 152 years old" Currently the oldest living animal, a tortoise named Tu'i Malila, lived to be 188 years old.

#145 "Lake Superior is the world's
largest lake." The Caspian Sea is considered the largest lake, but Lake Superior is the largest freshwater lake.

#146 "The smallest county in America is New York County, better known as Manhattan." Falls Church, Virginia, is the smallest functional county at 2.0 square miles. (Kalawao County, Hawaii is also smaller but is technically part of Oceania, and not either of the American continents)

#162 "The temp. of the sun can reach 15 million degrees F.." The core reaches temperatures of 25 million degrees F and the surface reaches only 10,000 degrees F, either way it's wrong.

#163 "The first penny had the motto 'Mind your own business.'" is actually false. The first penny has the motto "Mind your business".

#171 "The most sensitive parts of the body are the mouth and fingertips". The clitoris has more nerve endings than all of these, as do the eyeballs.

#180 "The first VCR was made in 1956 and was the size of a piano." The first VTR (Video Tape Recorder) was made in 1956. VCR's (video cassette recorders) came along in the 1970's.

#334 "Thomas Edison coined the word "hello" and introduced it as a way to answer the phone." Hello was used in print in Roughing It by Mark Twain in 1872, while the telephone was invented in 1876.

#383 Mount Katahdin in Maine is the first place in the U.S. to get sunlight each morning. The town of Lubec, Maine (the easternmost town in the U.S.) is the first place in the U.S. to get sunlight each morning, although some believe Cadillac Mountain on Mount Desert Island (near Bar Harbor, Maine) sees the first sun light.
