All I know is that green tea is healthy, diet is healthy, and Snapple is Made from the Best Stuff on Earth&#174;.  Put all three of those things together and you have a threesome of healthiness.  <\/p>\n<p>Now just like MC Hammer, let&#8217;s break it down.<\/p>\n<p>As many of you know, green tea is full of antioxidants, which have the ability to kick the asses of bad free radicals in your body and make them their bitches.  The Snapple Diet Green Tea has a natural antioxidant called epigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG for short, which is only found in green tea.  <\/p>\n<p>According to the bottle, EGCG also has the ability to boost your metabolism, although the bottle also says it takes 300 milligrams of it to effectively boost it.  A bottle of Snapple Diet Green Tea has only 55 milligrams.  So just like drinking six beers in one sitting will give you a better buzz and make all the ugly people look slightly better, drinking six Snapple Diet Green Teas in a day will increase your metabolism and maybe help you forget about whomever you brought home the other night after drinking six beers.<\/p>\n<p>Another reason why green tea is healthy is because it&#8217;s green.  Green is a healthy color because a lot of healthy vegetables are green, like zucchini, cucumbers, spinach, lettuce, broccoli, green beans, green bell peppers, cabbage, kale, leeks and weed.<\/p>\n<p>Just like Michael Bay does with every <a href=http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pearl_Harbor_%28film%29 target=_blank>movie<\/a> <a href=http:\/\/www.pajiba.com\/island-the.htm target=_blank>he directs<\/a>, the word &#8220;diet&#8221; has the ability to suck out the soul of anything it touches and just leave a tasteless, reduced-calorie and reduced-fat empty shell behind, which of course isn&#8217;t surprising because you can&#8217;t spell &#8220;diet&#8221; without the word &#8220;die.&#8221;  With the Diet Snapple Green Tea, the word &#8220;diet&#8221; sucks out all the calories, fat and sugar, leaving it with a row of zeroes on its nutrition label.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the Diet Snapple Green Tea is healthy because it is Made from the Best Stuff on Earth&#174;.  I don&#8217;t know what the best stuff on Earth are according to Snapple, but I do know that it&#8217;s probably all-natural and it&#8217;s probably not gold, diamonds, titanium, rubies, silver, or platinum, because those would make a really shitty Snapple.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the Diet Snapple Green Tea isn&#8217;t bad for a diet drink, although I can easily taste the Splenda (sucralose) much like how I can easily taste the Scientology whenever I watch a <a href=http:\/\/www.pajiba.com\/mission-impossible-iii.htm target=_blank>Tom Cruise<\/a> or <a href=http:\/\/www.pajiba.com\/wild-hogs.htm target=_blank>John Travolta<\/a> movie.  The 55 milligrams of EGCG kind of makes up for its taste and so does the 30 milligrams of sweet, succulent caffeine, which is better than nothing, but not enough to prevent me from falling asleep during a Tom Cruise or John Travolta movie.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Editor&#8217;s Note:  Thanks to TIB reader Lindsey for recommending the Snapple Diet Green Tea for review.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Snapple Diet Green Tea<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $1.29 (17.5-ounces)<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  7-Eleven<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 3 out of 5<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Its taste is all right for a diet drink.  55 milligrams of EGCG.
