172.71.26.43: Undo revision 358222 by 42.book.addict (talk) Perhaps it's not so obvious because it's all not uppercase/smallcaps, but comic is absolutely full of lowercase text (early weirdness!)

 This was the seventeenth comic originally posted to [[LiveJournal]]. The previous one was [[17: What If]], and the next one was [[19: George Clinton]].
 {{w|Snapple}} is a brand of beverages that mostly sells bottled juices and teas. Its name is based on a carbonated apple juice the company once produced ("snappy apple"). In this comic, [[Cueball]] hands another Cueball-like guy an apple calling it a "Snapple". When the guy bites into it, his teeth are blocked by the apple's metallic surface because Cueball has infused the apple with tin. {{w|Tin}} is a metallic element whose abbreviation on the periodic table is "Sn" (as the Latin word for tin is "stannum"). Thus, the "tin apple" could be referred to as a "Sn-apple". The fourth panel is a silent wide shot, perhaps suggesting the joke was met with silence as a weak joke. As a meta-joke, the final panel might jokingly suggest that the silence is because those unfamiliar with the periodic table of elements don't get the joke. According to the caption at the top, [[James Zetlen]] presumably once made a joke to [[Randall Munroe|Randall]] similar to the one in the comic.

-The title text continues the trend in early xkcd comics of explaining the joke rather than expanding to it.
