Don't remember the Snapple, but I absolutely remember having Frappuchino on UA around the dates I mention.
Here is a article that said it started around late 1999:

United Airlines (NYSE:UAL) and Starbucks (Nasdaq:SBUX) jointly announced today that they will offer United's customers an additional beverage choice with the addition of the popular Mocha Frappuccino(R) coffee drink. The companies also announced that a new Starbucks coffee, LightNote Blend(tm), will be served on United's domestic and international flights.
Maybe I got an old one in the mid-00's?

Excellent point, the thought never crossed my mind.
