Contrite Snapple Execs Grovel; Staten Island Says “Drop Dead”

Snapple vs. Staten Island update:

Snapple executives were doing everything they could yesterday to prove they aren’t all wet when it comes to Staten Island.

The day after they removed a jab about the borough from their Web site, company officials called local politicians to apologize.

But City Councilman James Oddo (R-S.I.) still found the humor hard to swallow and wanted to make a point.

“When faced with ignorance, disrespect or worse, you need to stand up to it and call it out,” Oddo said before he and state Sen. Diane Savino (D-Brooklyn, S.I.) poured a bottle of Snapple Iced Tea down a sewer drain in Grant City.

Right down the sewer — where it belongs!
