That message was not one of the pieces of trivia, known as “Real Facts,” that Snapple prints underneath its beverage lids, a company spokesperson said.
“I can confirm on behalf of the brand that this is not an official Snapple ‘Real Fact’ printed on bottle caps,” said Katie Gilroy, senior director of corporate communications at Keurig Dr Pepper, which produces and distributes Snapple.
Social media users had shared a manipulated image that purported to show a Snapple lid with the message in question.
Some Twitter users who shared the fabricated image of the bottle cap acknowledged in later posts that it had been altered.
“*sigh* .... yes, obviously this is shopped,” wrote one user after sharing the manipulated image.
Snapple’s “Real Facts” are typically light-hearted -- for example, “Elephants are the only mammals that can’t jump” and “Pigs can get sunburn.”
