I tried every Snapple flavor I could find and ranked them from worst to best

I have two young kids, so I’ve finished off plenty of tiny boxes of apple juice in the last few years.

I thought I knew what to expect from Snapple’s apple flavor, but I found it tasted more like apple-flavored candy than apple juice. It lacked any sort of tang, and in my opinion, it wasn’t refreshing.

Unsurprisingly, all the Snapple flavors I tried were sweet. However, a few of them were so syrupy that they almost felt thick. This was definitely the case with the fruit-punch flavor.

This one tasted very sugary, almost like someone had dumped the remnants of all the other juices into the same bottle.

I had high hopes for the grapeade, which had a color that almost resembled red wine. However, it had no tartness to it at all and tasted a bit like grape jelly.

After trying all the flavors, I realized I typically liked the lighter-colored beverages better than the darker ones. However, Snapple’s orangeade proved to be an exception to that rule.

This one had no bite to it at all — almost like a creamsicle without the cream.

I remember Mango Madness being one of my favorite flavors during the 90s Snapple craze.

However, it was one of the flavors that was so sweet it had the viscosity of highly concentrated simple syrup — albeit with the pleasant and recognizable mango flavor I enjoyed in my youth.

Snapple’s peach tea was another staple of my youth. It tasted exactly as I remembered, but this time around, I didn’t like it as much. The peach flavor wasn’t very subtle and drowned out most of the tea flavor.

I’m a big fan of iced-tea-lemonade drinks and typically enjoy the version from Arizona iced tea. However, I didn’t remember ever trying Snapple’s version before.

I didn’t hate this flavor — but I didn’t love it either. In my opinion, it was blandly sweet with some lemon flavor, and didn’t have the earthiness of tea or the tartness of lemonade.

The assertive raspberry flavor in Snapple’s raspberry tea was better than I remembered. It tasted more like candy than actual raspberries, but was fruity, tasty, and different.

Snapple’s lemon tea always seemed a bit boring to me. However, I was surprised by how much I liked it. It had a nice sweet-tea flavor with just a hint of lemon, and none of the odd, dry-throat sensation that sometimes follows bottled iced teas.

I’m a sucker for pink lemonade, and Snapple’s version got an added boost because it froze a bit in the back of my refrigerator, creating delightful pink-lemonade slush. However, I liked it even after it melted.

It was, of course, incredibly sweet, but I liked the lemon flavor and thought it would work well mixed with an unsweetened iced tea or seltzer.

Snapple’s watermelon lemonade was a bit more muted in color than the pink lemonade, but it wasn’t muted in flavor.

Watermelon was the prominent flavor here, and I thought it tasted just like a watermelon Jolly Rancher (which is my favorite).

When I first saw this flavor in the supermarket, I expected it to be my least favorite. Although I like bananas, I tend to dislike anything banana-flavored.

However, the Go Bananas flavor also contains pear-juice concentrate, which I could definitely taste when I took a sip. The banana flavor wasn’t overwhelming and gave the drink a tropical vibe.

I could imagine myself throwing this in the blender with some ice cubes and rum.

Snapple’s kiwi-strawberry flavor was another one that was better than I’d remembered. It was sweet with strawberry flavor and had some nice tanginess to it. This felt like a good potential cocktail mixer or a base for a punch.
