This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

My wife now knows not to insist on pure cranberry juice, but rather to request a 100% juice blend and not "cocktail" (the cocktail is what the juice blend goes in). I finished the battery acid myself over the course of a few weeks, out of pure Floridaman cussedness. It was not pleasant.

It's really not lol. You can tell in this thread those who do a bunch of sugar and those who don't

It’s drier than I enjoy my wine, but it’s not undrinkable or anything. I would dilute it, just because I would assume that it already has a lot of sugar.

Though my uncle worked auditing cranberry bogs for the MA government (I now realize this might have been kid logic- he did something with cranberries as a state employee, I don’t know exactly what), so I grew up eating cranberries in all their forms.
