Wonder what Rush has to say about this?

I remember when Florida Orange Growers Association and Snapple used to advertise on his program. We bought plenty of both products until the leftists and the homosexuals complained and they cancelled.

Sales of Snapple fell drastically because it's such a mediocre product that we, and no doubt others, bought it just because it sponsored Limbaugh's three hours.

I haven’t seen Snapple in ages; I didn’t even know it was still around.

Well, that's not exactly how it happened. Snapple was a private company when it advertised on Rush. Then it sold out to Quaker Oats for $1.7 Billion or so (later to lose $1.4B when it sold Snapple for $0.3B). Quaker Oats decided that advertising on Rush and Howard Stern didn't fit their corporate image.

I expect it was more of a corporate/business stupidity than it was political, or they might have kept Howard Stern. It takes real business ignorance to buy what was much more of a good advertising campaign than a good product and kill the advertising campaign.
