Oh God We're Sad

Me: so... did you know that cranberries were harvested by flooding?

Friend: no, lol. really? what are they before flooding?

Me: During the growing season cranberry beds are not flooded, but are irrigated regularly to maintain soil moisture. Beds are flooded in the fall to facilitate harvest

Friend: weird

Me: Cranberries are harvested in the fall when the fruit takes on its distinctive deep red color. This is usually in late September and into October. To harvest cranberries the beds are flooded with six to eight inches of water. A harvester is driven through the beds to remove the fruit from the vines. Harvested cranberries float in the water and can be corraled into a corner of the bed and conveyed or pumped from the bed.

Friend: what made you look that up? lol

Me: I saw a commercial for cranberry juice and they were standing in water
