Extended Information

This rare Snapple Beverage Corp Specimen Stock Certificate was printed in 1993. Snapple was founded in 1972 as Unadulterated Food Products. The name Snapple was derived when one of the apple drinks accidentally fermented and the top "snapped" off, thus Snapple. They became Snapple Beverage Corp in the 1980s. Thomas H. Lee Partners purchased Snapple in 1992 and too them public in 1994. Quacker Oats and then Triarc purchased Snapple before selling them to Cadbury Schweppes.

The Dr Pepper / Seven-Up Companies, Inc. was created by the merger of Dr. Pepper, Inc. and the 7Up Company in 1986. The merger took place as a bailout after the FTC blocked the merger of Dr. Pepper and Coca-Cola. It was subsequently purchased by Cadbury Schweppes. In 2008 the beverages were split off into the Dr. Pepper Snapple Group. In 2018 Keurig Green Mountain purchased the Dr. Pepper Snapple Group for almost $19 billion and became Keurig Dr. Pepper.

About Specimens:
Specimen stock certificates are certificates that were archived by printers and the company as perfect examples of the company’s stock issue. Specimen’s can be identified by their “specimen” stamp, stamped holes spelling “specimen”, or they are often issued with a serial number of a series of zeros. Often, they are also issued with no serial number at all. Specimens can also represent a design that was never issued. All of these attributes make the specimen stock certificate rarer than the issued version of the share. Many enthusiasts collect specimens as a whole new category of Scripophily.
