Oct. 23&#8217;s episode also had Michael&#8217;s on-again-off-again girlfriend Maria (Majandra Delfino) asking for a Peach Fuzz Snapple by name.<\/p>\n<p>Asked whether the brand name appearing on the show was due to a product placement deal, a UPN spokeswoman explained that no, the show isn&#8217;t getting money from Snapple &#8212; it just really is &#8220;The Best Stuff on Earth,&#8221; as its logo says.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ronald D. Moore, the co-executive producer of Roswell, is a major, world-class Peach Snapple fan,&#8221; the spokesman told the New York Post. &#8220;And that&#8217;s how it gets into the show. There is no promotional exchange or anything like that.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to Gloria for sending this in!
