The Post reports that the city will removed 724 Snapple vending machines "from all municipal buildings." It was five years ago when the city announced its big Snapple deal, claiming it was worth $126 million but later revised that number to $33 million. The Post now says the deal had yielded "only 26 percent of anticipated sales...nearly one year before the deal ends." One city worker at the Municipal Building said, "I could probably count on one hand the number of times I've seen somebody at that machine in the years it's been there... Mostly because there's a kiosk downstairs that has other things besides drinks, or people go out and get their lunch and drinks outside." Still, the city's marketing arm is upbeat, at least the to Post, "The Snapple partnership was an excellent one for the city. The partnership and process were completely transparent and the vending portion was always scheduled to end in April 2009. We would absolutely do the deal again, and are very pleased with how this worked out."

Damn. Bloomberg is a LIAR, every thing he said is a success is a LIE.
Crime rate is down, LIE, i been mugged twice this year on the train and no police around. instead they didn't even take the report since I needed to wait for TRANSIT police. I didn't want to wait 1 hour so I left. Most of the crime is unreported because the make it harder for you.
waterfalls under Brooklyn Bridge earn the city money - LIE, the damage caused by the waterfalls and the lack of interest of this $15 million dollar waterfalls was evident.
Now the snapple program was a success-More lies from King Bloomberg.

Is this because they could not figure out how to program variable pricing in accordance with the forthcoming obesity tax?
No more Howard Sternesque "Snapple messages" at City Hall.
"removed 724 Snapple vending machines"
"We...are very pleased with how this worked out."
Really?
Crap. I frequently use the Snapple vending machine in the N.Y. County courthouse as a change machine, b/c the real one is always broken.
why dont you people back up your anti-bloomie comments by supporting another mayoral candidate like thompson?
For a city that is so interested in the health of its citizens, Snapple was/is
the wrong choice as the trademark drink of New York City.
Patterson wanted to charge an obesity tax on the regular Snapple, or as it's otherwise called, sugar water.
