Snapple Fun Fact #181:)

[efhmc]

1. What was/is the name for the individual unit that was at your booth that

you could pick songs from and did they all feed into one jukebox unit?

[mcscajun]

9. They're called "wallboxes" and they fed into one central jukebox

They are also called "remote selectors".

Which is why when you punched in your 3 tunes for a quarter at the White Castle, you had a long wait AND you almost never heard the tunes you'd picked in order.

Selectomatic was one brand 'nickname' for these units.

[efhmc]

10. No White Castle here but after a few times not hearing my selections, I

saved my money and tried to enjoy someone else's expenditure.

[mcscajun]

22. If I stayed put long enough, I'd wait for silence — then put my $.25 in

:)

11. I knew it was you with a snapple fact

when I saw the thread title. How are you doing tonight sexy?

[bigwillq]

12. I'm very well, hot boy!

What about you?

I'm at work getting paid to DU!:hi:

[LDS Jock]

13. I'm good

Enjoying the flame war on serial killing kitties on another thread. I'm home alone now, waiting for the Australian Open to come on. What do you do for work that lets you DU?

[bigwillq]

14. I am a sports writer

I'm in the office tonight just taking phone calls. The high school games should be starting to come in soon but from the time I get her at about 3:30 p.m. until those games get called in around 830-900, it's kind of boring and I just get to chat away!


Who are you rooting for in the Aussie Open?

I'm a big Hewitt fan.

[LDS Jock]

15. Safin... I'm in love with him

and in the women I like Davenport. I love the way she plays.

[bigwillq]

16. Safin is a cutie

His game doesn't seem to what to come back. He's lost a step or two.

On the ladies side, I like Serena or Venus.

The Pilot Pen Women's Tennis Tourney comes to New Haven, CT every august and the newspaper I work for covers it out the ass.
I've met and talked to so many of the players. Some are really cool, some are real divas.

[LDS Jock]

17. alright, give us the dirt

which ones are nice, and which ones aren't?

[bigwillq]

21. I met Venus (Serena never played in New Haven)

She was mad cool but had that attitude about her, like she knew she was hot shit.

Lindsey was diva-ish but very nice and genuine.


Sharapova didn't really turn me on. Not a good interview. Gave stupid responses. She's hot though but I think that Taitana Golovin is hotter and she was a better interview.


Capriati is cool but at times gives stupid answers. She's funny though and made references to how she loves the food and nitelife in New Haven.

Man, there's so many more..let me go answer this phone...BRB

[LDS Jock]

18. oh.. I do disagree on Safin's game

I think he still has it. His mind is his problem. He can just lose it at times. If he is on, he can beat anyone.

[Deja Q]

19. What did they play? Songs like:

"Itsy bitsy spider"
"Jimmy cracked corn"
"bicycle built for two"

and my personal favorite,

"Ugh, it's um wheel thing"

[bigwillq]

20. Snapple cap didn't have room to list the songs

But those are good choices.:hi:

23. The first topless bar opened in San Francisco in 1964

We're #1! We're #1!

[bigwillq]

24. LOL!

Thanks for that tit, I mean tid-bit!

[oppositionmember]

25. I've noticed they're now saying "the best people on earth"

instead of "the best ingredients on earth." Does that mean they're buying their shit from United Fruit and Archer Daniels Midlands?

[bigwillq]

27. I didn't even notice that

"Best people on earth" part. You would think, with the hundreds of snapple I drink a week, that I would notice.

[RetroLounge]

26. Damn, was it made by Edison?
