The "Snapple" incident

"Snapple" is a delicious fruit drink. It is also apparently a dangerous substance when you're trying to enter the Empire State Building. Going through security the terrified shouts of "Bottle! Bottle! It's a Snapple!" resulted in a standoff between security and us.

Later, having viewed the night-time cityscape safely in a Snapple-free zone we were able to reclaim our potentially lethal bottle of still orangeade, although Cath was asked if she could pick it out of a line up.

That's how criminal it is to drink Snapple in the tallest building in New York.
