NY and NJ Residents: Look for Rare Snapple Glass Bottles Now

The limited edition revival has caught the attention of collectors and resellers

Snapple Glass Bottle Returns in New York and New Jersey

Key Points

  • Glass bottles available at select retailers in New York starting late October, priced around $2.50 to $3

  • Limited availability means some out-of-state buyers might pay a small premium

  • This is a limited-time promotion, so bottles could become collectible once the run ends

Snapple’s bringing back glass bottles after 14 years, but only in New York (with limited availability in New Jersey). If you’re in the area, this could be worth a small flip to collectors outside the market or people chasing that 90s nostalgia hit.

Limited Edition Snapple Glass Bottle Revival

Snapple ditched glass in 2018, switching to plastic like everyone else. The glass bottles were iconic back in the day, complete with those facts under the cap that you’d read while waiting for the bus. Now they’re back for what Snapple’s calling a “limited time” in select New York markets.

The company posted about the return on Instagram, and the comments are full of people begging for wider availability. That demand gap is where the opportunity sits, even if it’s small.

Check bodega shelves, convenience stores, and grocery chains across New York. New Jersey has some availability too, but it’s more limited. Snapple hasn’t released a specific list of retailers, so you’ll need to scout locally.

Is This Worth It?

Let’s be honest, this won’t make you rich. You’re looking at maybe $5 to $8 shipped if you can find the right buyer online. The real play is either:

  1. Quick flip to nostalgia buyers outside New York who want the glass bottle experience
  2. Hold play if the promotion ends and bottles become actual collectibles (think Maple Syrup Pepsi)

The profit per bottle is small, but if you’re already grabbing groceries and spot a case, it’s a low-risk pickup. Just don’t expect this to fund your next vacation.

Most platforms allow returns on food items if unopened, but check your local retailer’s policy. These aren’t final sale, so your downside is just drinking some Snapple if they don’t sell. The bigger risk is that Snapple extends this beyond the “limited time” window, killing any collectable value.

This is a passing flip for most people. If you’re in New York or New Jersey and come across them, grab a few to test the market. But don’t drive out of your way or buy cases thinking this is the next Stanley cup situation. It’s a small nostalgia play that might net you $10 to $20 profit if you move a few bottles to the right buyers.
