File this one under, "Snap!"

In a continued effort to educate Americans one bottle cap at a time, Snapple offers New York Knicks reporter Jill Martin a side job for the off-season: Snapple Cap Fact Writer. In a recent interview, Martin failed to answer several trivia questions about her own team - including a question about the years in which the Knicks have won the NBA Championship.

To help Martin become more informed about the Knicks, Snapple invites her to write five Knicks-focused Snapple cap facts. In addition to gaining crucial knowledge about the team, Martin will receive $1,000 for each cap fact. Snapple will provide any and all resources needed to research these facts, including: Internet access, direct contact with devout followers of NY sports and the email address of the president of the Patrick Ewing Fan Club.

The job offer expires on the NBA's opening night October 29, 2008.

"Snapple, in no way, wants to interfere with Martin's full-time job," said Bryan Mazur, vice president of marketing for Snapple. "However, this is a wonderful opportunity to engage a talented young reporter - and Snapple is more than happy to help!"

To respond, Snapple says, "Martin can contact the Snapple consumer line at 1-800-762-7753." Ouch!
