This petition is presented for signature to those people who wish for the Snapple Beverage Corporation to change the status of it's Celebrity Apprentice Diet Tropa-A-Rocka Snapple tea created by Bret Michael Sychak aka Bret Michaels from "Limited Edition" to a permanent product. Diet Trop-A-Rocka is a naturally flavored, diet tea blend of peach, pear, mango, cinnamon and both green and black tea leaves. Designed by a Type 1 Insulin dependent diabetic of 41 years, it was conceived from advice, information and Doctor's dietary recommendations Bret himself received. Bret put his heart and soul into this design not just to win the Celebrity Apprentice challenge but to give diabetics something they could enjoy while living with the dietary restrictions placed on them. The product label carries the official ADA name and logo. Diet Trop-A-Rocka also carries a Kosher Pareve certification. This is a guarantee that the food product does not contain any meat or dairy products, and it has not come in contact with either. So it is very useful for all the vegetarians, and vegans. As a result of kosher supervision, kosher products are scrupulously clean, and the word Kosher has become synonymous with premium quality. Kosher requirements are far more stringent than U.S. Department of Agriculture requirements. Bret's choice to utilize cinnamon in this design to offset the "bitter aftertaste" that most diet drinks give was successful as Diet Trop-A-Rocka does not have a "diet" taste. Many, many people are currently enjoying the healthy benefits and fantastic flavors of this Snapple product while many others haven't even been able to find it due to the high demand of this product. Diabetic children love it, non-diabetics love it and best of all, it gives us all something to believe in... a belief that small changes in our daily lives DO matter. It is truly the best of the best and we, the undersigned, hereby implore the directors and decision-makers of the Snapple Beverage Company to make this currently "Limited Edition" and hard to find Snapple flavor a ongoing and permanent Snapple product.

The current petition volume has provided enough leverage to initiate formal outreach to the corporate distribution office. I am currently finalizing a letter detailing the consumer demand and the specific dietary benefits of this product blend.

I am very disappointed that the Snapple Beverage Company would discontinue such a fine and popular product.

Every time I run across some Trop-a-rocka, it disappears in a heartbeat. No one can seem to keep any on the shelves. Like that everywhere I go and it seems to be like that with everyone I talk with. Is Snapple against products that actually sell and don't just sit on the shelf? Maybe the people calling the shots need to question if they make good business choices, because I thought selling products was the object of the game. Snapple needs to question their priorities asap. If you need some basic lessons in economics , please call and I will be happy to enlighten you.

Please bring back TropARocka it’s so hard to find a diet drink that actually takes good and helps in the fight for diabetes which Snapple should continue to sell for the cause.

Please make this wonderful product available again. It's the best bottled iced tea I have ever had.

Tropa rocka is the best flavor Snapple’s got. I’m from southern Illinois and we don’t have it anywhere. I literally look forward to having it when I visit my family in the Land O Lakes
