Were Snapple and British Knights really run by the KKK?

Question

I have a co-worker who says that theses companies were run my the KKK, but I don't believe him. Does anyone know if that is true???

I am sorry that the spelling is off, I didn't check it before I posted the question and Yahoo! Answers will not let you change it.

Answer 1

The KKK is an American organization, so I highly doubt the British Knights would bother.

The Snapple KKK myth sprang from the presence of a circle K symbol on its labels. For people who don't know much about Jews, this symbol is NOT a Klan emblem, but rather a marking to show that Snapple is kosher. Snapple is owned and operated by a Jewish family.

Answer 2

I have heard they both accept funding from the KKK, but that doesn't mean they are run by them. But then I looked it up on snopes.com

And at least for snapple, the rumor is false! They are not tied to the KKK in any way according to them. Link below!

Answer 3

First of all I think your co-worker is giving a crock of sh*t, and that you need not pay to much atention to what they may have to say all the time... Second is that, given the size of both companies employee data base one is bound to fine an employee who's roots lead the person to find a reative conected w/ the KKK.

Answer 4

British Nikes

Answer 5

don't know about British Knights.. but Snapple!uh, no. Snapple was founded by a couple of Jewish guys. the klan wouldn't make sure their product was KOSHER and they wouldn't care. (that's what the K in the circle represents on each bottle, that all of our Jewish friends, neighbors, coworkers can enjoy Snapple.) You can see it on cans of Coke, Pepsi, Nestea, or any other soft drink that can be sweetened.

Answer 6

wow never heard of that but people have theories about everything
