Emerging story
Snapple is a beverage maker that, for the most part, makes a plethora of bottled flavored teas. Unlike most beverages, these bottles have “real facts” printed on the underside of each cap (many of which are untrue). On Twitter, some people started saying that Snapple has started printing “Trump lost and the election was not stolen.”

Some even called to boycott the company (or assumed that others were going to).

Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar’s investigation found that this is clearly a photoshop. The picture says “Real Fact 74,222,958.” There have not been nearly that many facts published by Snapple. At the time of writing, the number goes up to 1,555. In fact, the bottle cap’s figure is actually the amount of votes Trump got in the election.
Snapple also has a list of all of their facts on their official website. You can even search through them. After doing so, we couldn’t find any results for the word "election."

It’s worth pointing out that Snapple’s CEO donated to the Trump campaign. The late Rush Limbaugh even invested in the company.
