Snapple Officially Launches Diet Half 'n Half Lemonade Iced Tea

PLANO, Texas, Feb 21, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Snapple today officially launches Diet Half 'n Half Lemonade Iced Tea, joining the ranks of such great combinations as the spork, labradoodle and the keyboard guitar. The half lemonade, half iced tea blend is made from healthy green tea, tasty black tea and has only ten calories per 16oz bottle. While some may argue that one half may be better than the other, Snapple has brought the two together to create a low calorie option of this perfect combination.

"Some combinations are too perfect to pass up," said Regan Ebert, vice president of marketing for Snapple. "Snapple is always looking to make the Best Stuff even better and the new Diet Half 'n Half offers our fans a tasty low calorie combination of two classic flavors that is sure to please, whichever side you're rooting for."

To settle the score between Lemonade and Iced Tea lovers everywhere, Snapple is challenging fans to battle it out and vote for which side reigns supreme as the blend's better half. Fans can vote for their favorite flavor on Twitter by using the #Lemonade@Snapple and #Tea@Snapple hashtags, as seen in the new drink's advertising spot; via Snapple's Facebook page; and on Snapple.com.
