Time for a Snapple yet?
I'm not sure if this is worthy of a thread or not, but I can't think of a better place to ask this.
The day that I heard that Rush Limbaugh was hawking Snapple, was the day that I drank my last one. It's been a lot of years, and I've been tempted a few times, but have not broken down yet. Lately, it seems that there are just sooo many great looking flavors in the cooler, that I wonder if it was time for me to "fall off the wagon".
My question is: Since I don't listen to Oxy-Man anymore (actually haven't for years), I was wondering if he's still a spokesperson. I did some Googling and saw on one site where they had separated back in the mid-90s.
Any input would be greatly appreciated. I don't wanna deprive myself of something good for no reason.
Thanks.

1. hmm
I avoid anything with high fructose corn syrup and other bad stuff in it.
That about describes Limbaugh.... ;-)

2. Forget Snapple
Drink AriZona Tea instead.

3. Ditto... never touch the stuff since they signed on to Limbutt
I'd be curious what caused the "separation," if true.

5. I haven't heard him hawk Snapple, but the Sleep # Bed seems
to be a money maker for him. I listen to him just to get the RW POV, and arrogance is almost too much to bear...x(

But considering the S#bed thing, I figure he spent a lot of time on one, as Oxycontin can make you pretty damn lazy.

He also shills for Big Oil, but not an outright corporate endorsement...he's pushing oil because he has millions tied up in oil stocks, if he had $ in solar, he'd be pushing that.

7. Good one
Tool_of_the_proletariat? I like it! I'd switch mine, but I just had all my business cards and stationery made.
:thumbsup:
