Big Apple Gets Barbecued, Southern Style, by Snapple

Snapple hosted its fifth annual Big Apple Barbecue Block Party in Manhattan over the weekend. New Yorkers got to taste “real” barbecue from as far away as Texas and South Carolina, and to wash it all down with a variety of Snapple drink flavors.

Additional sponsors of the event included Texas Pete, the official hot sauce of the barbecue, Coca-Cola and Cinnabon, writes AdAge.

Participating pitmasters competed for the chance to win $500 from Snapple, along with a Snapple-stocked cooler for a year.
