well you need to get your facts straight about snapple juice. snapple began in a small plant in upstate ny in 1973 my husband and i began making juice at our plant in a small town in upstate ny under the L&A label, we became partners sometime in the early 80's and 2 months later they developed the snapple label which was first purduced at our plant. they sold franchises at 6000 a pop via the ny times to get snapple started in the northeast. our plant was known as Grancelli Cider Mill because my father in law Luigi started in in the late 50's early 60's and just did apple juice in gallons and half gallons for the chain stores in a seasonal manner. by 1973 we ran the mill nearly year wound and did private label after the fall, erewhon, and others plus the apple juice for the chain stores and we became Natural Juice Mfg. in 1986 new years eve lennie marsh, hyman golden, and arnold greenberg bought us out on a 10 year buy out for 300,000. jan 1987 they defaulted on the loan left 28,000 in back real estate taxes. by then we had relocated to south carolina, august 1987 and sept 1991 my husband came home an dropped dead on the kitchen floor. over the years i spoke with and wrote to my ex partners to try to get them to pay arnie said he would try to get me a check, ( he knew as did lennie and hymie they did us wrong) lennie had no response and hymies wife told me on the phone he had nothing to say to me. i have a nasty letter from mr golden like he did not owe the money. yes we resold the place for 90,000 so take that into consideration their outstanding debt is still 210000 plus 9% interest. the world thought great of them iam sure they gave plenty to charities and were on every board possible, but to me they were greedy evil men who we made rich and famous and they never paid their debt to us. what was 210000 plus interest when they sold it for millions to quaker oats and yet they were so greedy they never made an attemmpt. this is the true and real story of how, when , snapple started not the story they have been spouting , and though they are all deceased the debt still stands, i know how important they all were after all the ny times , the los angeles paper all ran the obitutaries along with others and hymies was in an isreal paper so important they were well known they were but no one knows the real story of snapple and how my 3 ex partners raked us over the coals. they were not nice men nice people pay their debts. i have all the documents to back up my story the original contracts and etc and people from the small upstate ny town who know exactly how when snapple was started not by lennie marsh, hyman golden and arnold greenberg in some small place in ny but a small town in upstate ny in our juice plant. if you want to print a story about snapple and wiki is supposed to be the truth then print the true story. bonnie
