While we’re on the subject of Snapple, I remember LOVING these when they came out the summer after my freshman year of college. Sun, Rain, Fire…delicious. Yet it’s been years since I’ve seen them on a store shelf. Anyone else remember these?

Ooooh, I loved the air one! I think it had some sort of cactus juice in it. How funny is the flavor ‘diet air ‘though?

Yeah. I remember these.
They eventually put them into an Aluminum Bottles (way before all the beer guys).
You can still find a few of the flavors in market but the plan is to discontinue entirely.
If you live in the PA area look for a silver metallic bottle. The product inside should be the same formulation at what was in the glass.
There seems to be a distributor in that region that stills pushes the stuff. Keep in mind that because the demand is very low the product is not product frequently, meaning the stuff you find on shelf could be really, really OLD!

I think I liked ‘Earth’ and ‘Lightning’. One was a black tea, and the other (or both?) had bee pollen in it.

I freakin loved the Rain one to death! My mom used to get them for my dad to take to work but I would always drink all of the Rain ones! lol. I have been searching and searching for them. I miss them dearly!! I remember the alluminum bottles they came in and how it kept them super cold!

I just cracked open a METEOR that I had stored in my pantry for the past 5 years. It was still good!!!! You can’t find these around anywhere anymore.

OMG! I loved those, I was totally addicted, I even collected the bottles form all the ones I drank but they didn’t survive my moving many times. I had one every day in middle school. I’m trying to track down a way to get more, like seeing if Snapple sells them direct off there web site, or if I can send them a letter and get a petition to restart production of it.

I still have my Elements bottle collection, and was just today trying to decide if it’s time to throw them all out (moving again for the first time after college). Back in middle school or early high school I took the empty bottles and filled them with water, put food coloring in, and they’ve been a fantastic colorful window sill decoration throughout hs/college.
I think I’m going to keep them. Apparently they’re almost gone forever.

i have the original 6 closed element bottles
15 woody invincible // Jun 18, 2010 at 5:04 am
we drank every flavor, and we saved all the empties.
they’re lost now.
but there’s still an unopened bottle of “fire” left.
we said we’d drink it on our wedding day.
10 years later it’s still waiting.
it’s sedimented, discolored, and will likely cause diarrhea –
yet,
you can’t wait to drink it,
and neither can i.

I miss these things. SOOOOOO many fond memories. I have written Snapple but it’s the same replies back. Nothing much. I hope they bring these back though I doubt they will. Miss them so much.

I can’t understand why everything I really enjoy the most always seems to be “a poor seller” and quickly discontinued. I LOVED Elements drinks. Those glass bottles screamed cool, and Rain was one of the best flavors of beverage ever. I also loved Orbitz, which seemed to be a drink ahead of its time, I guess. I wish they would bring these back, same bottles, label, and everything. (Snapple, are you listening?)

I used to drink at least two Snapple Elements a day. I was hooked on Siberian Cherry. I still crave it years later & would really like one right now.

24 Discontinued Foods Bracket: Snapple Elements vs. Full Throttle | So Good // Apr 1, 2013 at 1:44 am
[...] Snapple Elements were released in 1999 to seemingly great success. The SVP for Snapple was quoted in 2000 as saying, ”The success of the Elements line has topped even our highest projections, with sales for the first twelve months expected to exceed five million cases, it is the most successful new product launch in the history of premium beverages.” What started with four flavors was expanded to six in 2000, but by the middle of the decade the line had been discontinued completely.
