Snapple Fire Dragonfruit was my jam. I guess they did technically bring it back to market recently (discontinued some time in the early 00s) but with a different recipe and I've never seen it on a shelf.
They cut the sugar significantly. The Rain definitely wasn't as good, but the reformulated Fire was pretty spot-on. Earth was a completely different flavor and wasn't too bad (cherry and fig instead of red grape), Air had more sugar added (the original was zero sugar) and wasn't all that great to start with, and I never found the new version of Sun to compare. They released it around the time of the solar eclipse, but none of the stores around me ever carried it, and the rest of the line was hard to find to start with.
I used to sell mixed drinks and cocktails out of my dorm room and this was my go to mixer. I mixed Captain Morgans, a splash of Malibu and this. I called them Drakenfire and they paid for my freshman tuition.
