Snapple does a thing I don't understand - they put down "facts" on the inverse side of their bottle caps that are not really facts. I don't see a point of doing it, but apparently they do.
i'm not a fingerprint expert, but i think it is wrong. i can't imagine chimpanzees (for example) not having distinct fingerprints - and non-distinct fingerprints don't make sense to me.
this is what wikipedia has to say: "The Koala is one of the few mammals (other than primates) that has fingerprints. In fact, koala fingerprints are remarkably similar to human fingerprints; even with an electron microscope, it can be quite difficult to distinguish between the two."
I looked it up. Snapple emphasizes "unique". Maybe others have non-unique? I dont know. Snapply, by the way, swears all their shit is 100% verified true.
I've been told by several people they put random truths/falsifications on purpose. I guess I'm not working for Snapple in the fact research department any time soon.
In any case, the koala fingerprints made my day, as I was dying of boredom before that :)
