Knowledge recently Acquired: Cape Cod Cranberry Dry soda is pretty good (its a regional soft drink from Polar Beverages). Making a gallon of cranberry juice takes about 4,400 cranberries.

Knowledge not recently acquired: WI produces more than half of the worlds cranberries.

"At 4.64 million barrels [in 2021], Wisconsin cranberry production blew the No. 2 state out of the water: Massachusetts with 2.055 million barrels."

Maybe we should retire the cheese head moniker and replace it with Cran Heads. Cranberry infused cheese... I think we have a thing here, just need some venture capitol money to get it the ball rolling.

the #1 apple producing state?

Washington

"...nearly 75% of fresh apples and 45% of processed apples that the country is expected to produce in the 2021/2022 harvest year will come from Washington."
"roughly 10 to 12 billion apples are harvested, all by hand to prevent bruising, for Washington's largest agricultural crop."
