Why Does Martinelli’S Sound Like An Apple?

A representative for Martinelli’s was not available to comment on whether the company knew of either the trend, or the alleged phenomenon of its bottle’s apple-biting sound effects. Alexandra Deabler is a Lifestyle writer and editor for Fox News.

If you live in the U.S., you’ve probably seen Martinelli’s drinks at your local grocery store. They’re pretty well-known for their sparkling cider and apple juice. Here’s their plastic apple juice bottle. Cute, right? Well, not only does it ~look~ like an apple — it apparently sounds like one, too.

This same year, the company patented the design of its apple-shaped bottle for its juice, known as the “Golden Apple,” and paired it with the new slogan “Drink Your Apple A Day ® .” This slogan and our apple-shaped bottles are still hallmarks of the Martinelli’s brand today.

Over time Martinelli’s bottles have become a hallmark of the brand which have been universally recognized and loved by consumers around the world. Early champagne style bottles for our sparkling cider had colorful hand-painted vintage labels and were transported in beautiful wooden crates.

What is Martinelli’s famous bottle?

Martinelli’s Iconic Bottles. Since its beginning in 1868, Martinelli’s has been known for its uniquely shaped glass bottles. Our sparkling cider roots began with a champagne-style bottle, now a universal symbol of celebration. We also developed our signature apple-shaped bottles with embossed leafing detail for our Gold Medal winning apple juice.

Martinelli’s Gold Medal Apple Juice and Sparkling Juice made their debut around 1917, after the young Stephen G. Martinelli, Jr. perfected a pasteurization method to provide longer shelf life. In 1933, when Prohibition was overturned by the 21st amendment, Martinelli’s reintroduced its Hard Cider.

While Martinelli ’s does not encourage people to chew plastic, millions of consumers are finding fantastic humor in proving to themselves that the sound effect is real. It’s great to see how many people recognize Martinelli’s immediately when they see these iconic bottles.

Many people fondly remember Martinelli’s as a special treat during the holidays as a child, where they could be part of the celebration too. Today our Gold Medal ciders are still packaged in champagne style bottles.
